	A remnant of the autonomous AI fleets developed by the TriTachyon Corporation. Illegal under Domain (and Hegemony) law, and an abomination to the Church of Galactic Redemption, the First AI War saw these creations purged from the Sector. At least that is how the official histories tell it. Leaked internal memos criticize the Apex for compromising core combat principles to act as a marketing platform for advanced combat systems. These include the Tri-Tachyon 'Energy Bolt Coherer' - speculated to employ a quirk of shield physics to increases the range of non-beam energy weapons, which the Apex may mount in abundance - and dual Terminator Drone autoforge units. The Terminator systems' sub-AI certification was pending when made entirely moot by certain subsequent historical catastrophes, including but not limited to the First AI War.
–In-Game Description

The Apex-class Heavy Droneship is a automated cruiser-sized battlecarrier fielded by the Remnants. A peculiar ship, it possesses four synergy mounts, built in Energy Bolt Coherer hullmod which extends the base range of all non beam energy weapons by 200, and 2 built in Terminator drone wings.

Loadout Tips

The following section contains user-submitted suggestions, these may be inaccurate or outdated.

Much like the Fulgent, the Apex possesses an awful flux dissipation rate, only slightly better than light cruisers like the Falcon or the Fury. As tempting as it sounds to fill all of its medium slots with energy weapons to take advantage of the Energy Bolt Coherer, doing so will cause the Apex to overflux itself within no time unless Safety Overrides is applied. Therefore it's advised to install missiles on the medium synergy hardpoints.

Despite its very wide hull presenting a relatively easy target to hit, the Apex can still be annoyingly difficult to destroy as it combines high efficiency shield with armor/hull levels of a heavy cruiser; and every AI core piloting it will have Impact Mitigation and Damage Control skills.

Trivia

• The Apex is the first Remnant hull not to be directly named after something associated with light, but it's more than likely named after the "Solar Apex".
