 The 6+ is an upgraded version of the [[species:iee]] [[faction:iee:gunship|six shooter gunship]] that was developed in [[calendar:YE_39]] with the help of [[faction:uso:usostarorganization]] shortly after [[plot:188604#ye_38_arc_2_star_wasp|Operation Bright Venom]] removed the [[species:mishhuvurthyar]] fleet from the I'ee home system.   The 6+ is an upgraded version of the [[species:iee]] [[faction:iee:gunship|six shooter gunship]] that was developed in [[calendar:YE_39]] with the help of [[faction:uso:usostarorganization]] shortly after [[plot:188604#ye_38_arc_2_star_wasp|Operation Bright Venom]] removed the [[species:mishhuvurthyar]] fleet from the I'ee home system.

 The craft has a vaguely similar appearance to its prototype predecessors, despite its much larger size. It's chassis has a roughly box-like shape to it, with a spherical cockpit attached to the front. Surrounding the central mass is a circular weapons platform, containing ammunition and six gun mounts with freedom of rotation. At the rear of the vessel is the I'ee's staple particle drive with the characteristic metal prong extending from it. Spaced armor pannels have been attached to the main body, and circular radar targeting mounts have been added above the cannons The craft has a vaguely similar appearance to its prototype predecessors, despite its much larger size.

 While numerous, the I'ee fleets did not have the capability to deal with the NMX without suffering disproportionate losses. While providing them with better technology and gear would have been a great help in defeating the NMX threat, it was not possible to reach their homeworld without attracting the NMX's attention, making it impossible to help the I'ee fleet.  While numerous, the I'ee fleets did not have the capability to deal with the NMX without suffering disproportionate losses.

-After Operation Bright Venom, the NMX fleet was removed from the system, but in the process [[faction:uso:usostarorganization]] had lost their own fleet and due to the Vekimen relocation, their labor force as well. This left the USO with only minimal ability to produce equipment while they built back up their production capacity. +After Operation Bright Venom, the NMX fleet was removed from the system, but in the process [[faction:uso:usostarorganization]] had lost their own fleet.

 The I'ee fleet, however, was still in a precarious situation. The solution was to provide upgrades to existing ships using the least amount of production capacity possible. Design schematics were provided to the I'ee with alterations to the 6 shooter's layout to reduce weight and position thrusters more efficiently. The weight savings were invested in providing modern fire control systems and targeting for the I'ee's cannons and extra spaced armor panels on the sides. The I'ee fleet, however, was still in a precarious situation.

 The Hull of the 6+ is mostly made from the I'ee's native Tyranitum alloy, though adjustments have been made to the structure, reducing thicknesses in some places, adding lightening holes in others. Much of the Tyranitum armor has been removed, and replaced with full Durandium inserts.  The Hull of the 6+ is mostly made from the I'ee's native Tyranitum alloy, though adjustments have been made to the structure, reducing thicknesses in some places, adding lightening holes in others.

 Small, easy to produce, and capable of running the software needed for space flight. The main computing power for the 6+ is made up of off the shelf datapads that are intigrated into the control panels on the bridge.  Small, easy to produce, and capable of running the software needed for space flight.
