The arrangement dictatorships have with GalCop means GalCop are unable to deploy any of their standard Viper ships for patrolling the spacelanes and keeping the peace. Instead, each dictatorship has relied on refurbished ex-surplus Viper ships to fill this role. The Quaestor and Guard ships are based on the standard Viper, the Censor and Enforcer are based on the Viper Interceptor, and the Lictor is based on the Viper Pursuit.

Overview

This OXP is a flavour expansion for the Dictatorship systems. It adds a range of ships and stations to each dictatorship, differentiating between those with agricultural and industrial economies, and offers new trading opportunities to players. The political and economic conditions introduced by this OXP are set out in specially-compiled System Profiles, which are included in the download.

Ships and Stations

The arrangement dictatorships have with GalCop means GalCop are unable to deploy any of their standard Viper ships for patrolling the spacelanes and keeping the peace. Instead, each dictatorship has relied on refurbished ex-surplus Viper ships to fill this role. The Quaestor and Guard ships are based on the standard Viper, the Censor and Enforcer are based on the Viper Interceptor, and the Lictor is based on the Viper Pursuit.
