Charged by EDENCOM's Provost Marshal Kasiha Valkanir to develop a potent defense platform to aid in the fortification of New Eden's star systems, the Upwell Consortium collaborated with a number of the core empires' key weapons development corporations and came up with the GunStar.
CONCORD forces have access to EDENCOM's GunStar designs and have developed a number of variants to suit their special needs. The Stasis GunStar is used by the SCC as an element in the interlocking defense networks used to secure vital facilities such as SCC Key Storage Sites.
