EG-X

EG-X Technologies is an AG racing team with twinned-headquarters in Finland and China. They were introduced in Wipeout Pulse.

EG-X emerged from the 2172 merger of two former F9000 League titans, prior to its collapse: China's EG-R Technologies, with a reputation for secrecy, technical rigor, and uncompromising control over proprietary data, but well-known globally for its development and trading of cybernetic technology; and Finland's Xios International, deeply engaged in aeronautical engineering, and sporting a flamboyant public persona while flaunting its championship pedigree. The resulting fusion created a team that was formidable from the outset, entering the FX350 alongside fellow newcomers Mirage, and immediately securing high placements without prior experience in the FX300.

They are considered to be a dark-horse contender, given their joint-history. Even in the FX400, EG-X continues to operate with minimal public disclosure, withholding pre-season telemetry and technical specifications. But what does make its way into public knowledge through official team statements is a technological philosophy centred on advanced aerodynamics and cybernetics, with boasts of a neural interface that links man with machine for direct ship control at the speed of thought, and a commitment to armour and force-shield profiling that offers minimal drag. The result of their efforts is a team which delivers reasonably fast ships with quick acceleration, while slightly sacrificing on agility and durability compared to their competitive rivals.

• Average Top Speed
• Among the highest rated Thrust Acceleration
• Below average Handling, with slow Turning Rate and low Ground Grip making for a drifty feel
• Below average Shield Capacity

This ship can launch faster than most other ships, and maintain acceleration around even tight corners, though its agility is somewhat lacking.

• Slight improvement to Top Speed
• Slight improvement to Turning Rate
• Thrust Acceleration and Shield Capacity remain the same

Improvements to chassis design bring some much needed agility and allow for higher speeds, improving cornering ability.
