The Caldari affinity for utilitarian design is the reason many were surprised to see their shipyards the birthplace of Designer SKINs. Eliina Kariopka, known for high-impact designs, brings the fiery intensity of Caldari Prime's evening skies to nanocoat technology in "Raata Sunset", the first of several Designer SKINs for Caldari ships.

The Designer SKIN concept isn't exclusive to the Caldari. Artists from various factions have secured contracts and resources to begin developing bold new styles, with many expecting to roll out in the near future.
