DESCRIPTION
While the Gamorrean population has spread throughout the stars, thanks in part to the involvement of the Hutts, their race reportedly never had ships of their own. They always found themselves relying on the technology of others to enhance their own, limited intelligence. Thus, these “Space Rocks” were considered some of the first space-worthy ships ever to be made by the Gamorrean people.

Taken from their home system and hollowed out by cunning porcine individuals, these “Space Rocks” were given a new lease on life. Scraps of ancient, degraded armour plating were forcibly bolted to the exterior of the planetary fragment - alongside welded structures that’d behooved anyone with a basic understanding of spatial engineering. Everything stuck together and worked because those Gamorrean boar’s believed that it would, alongside their crude and forceful methods of constructive manipulation.

Almost every weapon that was crudely mounted to the “Space Rock’s” frame was pilfered from the multitude of wrecks that populated the stars. Many were Imperial, and many more belonged to various other civilizations that once spread across the stars. In the end, despite how crude these emplacements seemed to be - they were capable of subverting expectations and taking arrogant Naval Commanders off-guard.

With their thick hull and armour plating, the “Space Rock” utilizes their scavenged array of engines to engage their enemies with brute force - literally smashing through particle shielding and the hull thereafter. When embedded within an enemy ship, the massive hangar bay doors would open - disgorging squadron after squadron of cobbled together starfighters, and vast hordes of axe-wielding Gamorrean warriors.

If that eventuality came to pass… then the would-be defenders would find themselves hard-pressed to repel the glory-seeking horde from their hallowed halls.

The “Space Rock’s” interior mirrored the brutish, porcine race that built it. Every winding corridor was coated in mud, and the bulkheads themselves were coated in dung. With the Gamorrean society ruled by Matron Sows, there were parts of the ship that were kept “cleaner” than the rest as the Sows refused to live amongst the filth of their brutish kin. Aside from the Gamorreans themselves, there were no internal defences - at least none that worked properly. Even the doors had issues, which were either beaten and thrown off their tracks or accidentally fused together when their pilfered technology… exploded.

Despite the various attempts by the vastly superior “might makes right” approach of the Gamorrean warriors, their ships suffered chronic technological failures. To that end, these glory-seeking warriors managed to enslave entire villages of puny Ugnaughts - who were forced to keep everything running. However, that proved to be a fruitless endeavour as when one item was fixed, several more broke down somewhere else.

Suffice to say, these ships were just as ugly on the inside, as they were on the outside.
