Claiming the title of Alliance Tournament Champions and immortalizing your alliance logo on the monument is an immense reward in and of itself. Along with the prestigious CONCORD Victory SKINs and medals, the IGC has been known to create limited-edition ships inspired by each year’s sponsors. These unique ship designs are well underway, with production scheduled to deliver them to the winning teams’ hangars in November.
The ship designs remained under wraps, closely guarded by the IGC artisans until now. Finally, the traits, attributes and fittings for each of the ships can be revealed!

Hopefully you’re as excited about them as we are!
