Currently a male Argon calledFrann Herron holds this position.Argon ShipsThe Argon create the most balanced ships and you can see the Boron influence that mirrorstheir joint development. When you buy an Argon ship you have a good all-round versatileship. But as the Argon do not share the peaceful Boron nature they also use, together withthe Split, the Mass Driver Gattling gun. The Argon developed this weapon according to olddocuments and the Split were so impressed they paid immense licence fees for their ownmanufacture.With the development of the Nova, the successor to the ageing Elite, the Argon was the firstrace to install a rear turret into a heavy fighter. All other races except the Split followed thisnew design in due course. The use of technologically advanced shipyards enabled them tostrengthen and increase shield capacity, together with engine performance. When in the pastyou may have laughed about the old Elite, it is a different story now. She is still one of theslowest heavy fighters but her firepower will quickly silence any critics. Similar changes alsotook place with the Buster and a new type of ship, the Argon Centaur Corvette, was alsointroduced.BORON88Knight of the KingdomKing's ProtectorateKing's KnightQueen's ProtectorateQueen's KnightQueen's GuardNoble PeerTrusted CourtierAccepted FriendFriendAcquaintanceAntagonistConfirmed AdversaryEnemy of MenelausQueen's NemesisEnemy of the KingdomThroughout the X Universe the Boron’s are famous for their wisdom,wealth and for the sophistication of their space ships.
