Strengths and Weaknesses
Ysalamir: With a vast collection of the force nulling lizards aboard this station creates a force nullification bubble a solid one kilometer in radius.
Armored: With a thick armor covering the sphere the battle orb can take a solid hit. The Orb can shrug off smaller RPG personnel fired rockets, however tanks and turbo lasers can quickly take down the armor with a few direct hits.
Slow: At a top speed of 15 MPH or 24 KM/H it's safe to assume this orb isn't going very far very fast. It's slow and dreadfully sluggish.
Size: Urban environments can be tricky for the orb due to its massive size, it's best parked somewhere and left to do its job there. However due to its large size it's a very big target for air and ground strikes.
Low defenses: With only four point defense cannons to help fight air attacks the Orb is horribly open to attacks especially from the ground with almost no way to defend itself.
Living Cargo: While the orb is gyro stabilized there's only so much that can do when a turbo laser is being slammed into your side. As more Ysalamir die the bubble it creates becomes smaller and smaller and smaller.
Low Deployment Time: With only enough food for a week if the orb's nutrient supply isn't refueled every week the lizards will starve and die, meaning that this machine needs to have a steady stream of supplies in order to stay on the ground.
Cleaning: Lizards poop, it's a natural part of life. If the tank isn't cleaned every three days Ysalamir will start to get sick and die within the confined space.
Product Information
Description: With the rise of Spaarti's clones Ysalamir program taking full swing it was time to start thinking of more uses for the creatures rather than slapping them on a nutrient frame and giving it to a soldier. So hitting the R&D department with Reclaimer Arms & Industrial the idea of a collection of Ysalamir within one vehicle to create a hefty force nullification bubble came in mind. So experimenting with it the Spaarti Creations Equalizer Battle Orb came into fruition through simple designs and engineering. With Spaarti's artificial nutrient tree showing signs of success they took that same design and expanded on it. Creating large 20 meter orb with thick and heavy armor on the outside and artificial bark and trees on the inside where Ysalamir could survive within Spaarti put it on tracks and continued to improve upon it. With a Gyro stabilized base and climate controlled innards the design of the orb is all and all quite simple and straight forward. In the center of the orb there is a long thick tube where the nutrients are stored, this is where the pump at the base pushes nutrients up to where it is dispenses to the Ysalamir's bark through a intricate series of plastic tubing.
Outside and in the cockpit of the large mobile habitat there are four point defense cannons to help against air attacks that the habitat might come under fire from. These all of course have to be individually manned and can be rotated 360° full circle. The cockpit is the central control station for the entire orb, from movement and climate control to food dispersal, if this goes offline it's very dire that this is fixed. The slow and sluggish beast of a habitat is effective in creating a two kilometer force nulling bubble, however sometimes that's not always worth having to clean the lizard poop out of it every three days. It's a real crap job, bu dum bum psh.
Overall the orb has a lot more weaknesses and maintenance than actual strengths, however the ability to disrupt force users can be key in a lot of situations. Build structures around the orb, place it on the front lines, whatever one chooses it will do its job as long as the lizards within are taken care of.
