General Information

This is a very unique and important ship in the battle of universal dominance. The development of this ship lasted for over a decade before it was finally finished. When it was discovered that quite a lot of astroids were rich on resources and easy to grab from orbit of an enemy planet the reace for astroids had begun. However towing and transporting astroids vast distances took years, that was until the the "Astropod" as its commonly referred to entered the scene. This i how the pdos work:The Astropod lands on astroids and starts 5 atomic chain reactions. One in each of the of the 4 fangs effectively melting the fangs to the surface of the astroid and one in the main core. The main core reaction will create enough power to open up a wormhole for the astroid to travel though, arriving instantly at the enemy planet. The core will then explode like an atomic bomb and push the astroid through the wormhole in a split second before it closes. The astropod is totally destroyed in the process. The only remains of the astropods that make it through the wormhole are parts of the fangs. The rest floats in space, waiting to be salvaged.

Weapons Details

This ship has no weapons systems whatsoever. It has no need for them. It does however feature a high-security computer system making it unable to hack it. Experts claim that even with all the processing power of the known universe it would take on average 2 years to brute force the access codes. For all practical purposes the Mitnick algorithme is unbreakable.

Defence Details

The Craft is actually well armored, but the structure makes it very vulnerable to shots, so effectively the armor is very bad. Luckily the ship is unmanned and easy to produce. Due to the fact that ship is not cloaked and it has little computer systems other than guidance the EMP resistance is good. If hit by by an EMP blast there's only a 35% chance that core system will fail.

Crew Details

There is no crew.

Notes

Without a doubt the most important ship in the long run for any battle. A must have for any decent despot.
