The Tempest
A major ass stomping storm thats said to be due in the year 2006, prophesied by the Insane Clown Posse in their 2005 album The Calm. Apparently this storm is supposed to rip all the non-believers a new asshole with lightning that sets fire to water, flaming tornadoes, thunder loud enough to shatter brick walls, and all other manner of apocalyptic phenomenon.

Vell-os Arrow
The second ship to be formed by a Vell-os in Escape Velocity: Nova.
The Arrow is an undertaking that has been known to be completed by a very skilled T3, but is more usually the in the purview of a T2. It is a mental barrier of enormous proportions that affords the Vell-os pilot excellent physical protection. The Arrow differs visibly from the Vell-os Dart, in that the two side pods don't physically touch the rest of the ship; they are held there by the sheer mental strength of the Vell-os pilot. This is certainly a powerful vessel, but it is rarely seen in these dark times.

You sense Llyrell observing you as you glide your way in to dock, and you send out a small weave to acknowledge his presence.
You follow his intelligence as it dances out into the surrounding space and begins weaving a shell which you quickly recognize as being a Vell-os Arrow, and within moments you grasp the basics of it. When he sees that you have understood the lesson he returns to his body.
<you have definitely proved yourself to be a t2 i think that it will not be long before you reach t1 as i have your strength and skill is growing and it will not be long before you rival even me>
