Following the new guidelines on [[OXP Distribution]], the all-in-1-bundle oxp has been split into a ''Resources'' oxp containing all the ship models, textures and shader files, and two ''Config'' oxps, one which replaces the core shipset with these ships and one which adds this ships alongside the default shipset (and any other ship packs you may have installed), download links are:

Some claim that it's the ghost of Commander Peter Jameson, reported lost at the end of the last Thargoid War, others that it is simply a manifestation of all those lost souls who were trapped in the trackless depths of interstellar space. One common story is the trail of bad luck and hideous deaths that follow in the wake of the ship's sightings...

Lore

Added by The Assassins Guild OXP

The Ateslete system in galaxy 7 is reasonably noted for the ice-world, Stymphal. The well known robotics company, Griff Research Ltd, operates factories over most of the planet and maintains an orbital research station near Stymphal.

The company was originally founded to produce droids and other artificial life forms, enjoying much success winning the coveted “Which Droid?” award for a decade. Perhaps their most famous design was the Robotic Cargo Loader which is still in service in all sectors. In recent years the company has diversified into building high specification ships and stations to order. Examples of their known designs include providing the Bank of the Black Monks of St Herod with a fearsome armed orbital platform and the Holy Avenger Mark II Tri-Laser Gunship.

The company's main ship design work is however highly classified, their most regular client being the Galactic Navy. Griff Research Ltd has constructed several Frigate Class vessels for the Navy, in addition to new types of weapons. No further details are available, although it is rumored that the Company is returning to its roots as a robotics company, in a current design brief.
