All heroes in Endless Space 2 will have "Academy" spaceships. Their ships will have special layouts and will be able to equip unique modules giving them the edge in space battles.
Lore: Warfare may have been an alien concept to the Riftborn in their previous existence, but that didn't prevent Σ enjoying a natural aptitude for the subject. After helping to defend the beachhead on Vanguard from vicious attacks by native snow wolves, Σ volunteered to command the Riftborn's very first military fleet on a tour of the local system. Set upon by pirates in the ice fields of the outer reaches of the system, Σ's agile tactics helped protect his ships while driving off the attackers into interstellar space. Upon return to Vanguard, Σ negotiated with the Grand Viceroy: in exchange for free movement in the galaxy and the opportunity to learn battlefield strategy from the great warfaring civilizations, Σ would first found a military school on Vanguard to help safeguard its fellow Riftborn. The Grand Viceroy agreed, and soon after establishing the school Σ set out for distant stars. Many famous victories followed, but the most significant battle for Σ ended in defeat. Barely escaping with its life, Σ's life raft was caught in the aftershock of the capital vessel's explosion, enduring a hail of high velocity Dust. Somehow, this event augmented Σ's mind–and the paucity of its strategy became crystal clear. Humbled, Σ interpreted the experience as the Gods teaching it a lesson. Σ still had much to learn.
