The Vulture Empire pops up in Part II of A New Era. These Terrans have a large, widespread Empire just north of the Arcadian Republic. They control the Vulture Arm that connects to the Orion Arm and their territory reaches all the way to Vaygr Republic space. The Vulture Empire discovered beam cannon technology in Part I, but it took them too long to create versions suitable for their capital ships. Unlike the Vaygr, the Vulture Empire has 4 Destroyer-class Warships, 2 Typhoons and 2 Orions. The Vulture fighter and bomber pilots do not use swarm-tactics, unlike the Vaygr. This comes at a cost though. They use a lot of warships, ranging from Cruisers to Corvettes with Flak guns on them. Long story short, if the Arcadians didn't use Stratagy and Tactics (as the Vultures only used Tactics) it may have been Lights out for Arcadia.
