STRENGTHS
- Where are you going!? Possibly able to pull ships out of hyperspace and most often prevent them from going into hyperspace in a 6 kilometer radius, with a half life with every kilometer there after.
- Too much tech! The ship revolves around the gravity well generator, there is little to no room for other systems like weapons or defenses. Because heavy armor dampens the gravity well effectiveness, only the light armor is able to be used.
The Zann Consortium made its tough journey back to a pirating fleet. A big step in that process was adding Ion frigates to its fleet to disable craft for boarding and capture. However, the prize ships would simply run before they could be hit by the ion frigates and save themselves, making a new loss to pirating profits. Scarlett Zann knew that they needed to get their hands on a gravity well producing ship. A means to keep ships from fleeing and be stuck and boarded. The trouble was that only the big factions have the capabilities in creating a large number of these and it would be too risky to try to capture one of them as they are very well defended. As the losses would be too great to capture, the next best thing is to create one. The problem with creating one, is starting from scratch as the plans for them are just as well protected as the ships themselves. Starting from scratch had its own problems. The Consortium could not find a way around making the entire center fuselage made solely for the gravity well generator, which left very little to no room for armament or defensive capabilities. The Consortium leaned towards a lower armament as this craft would rarely be left alone to defend itself and leaned more to putting all available space and power to a solid and sturdy deflector screen strategy. The ship looks clumsy but works very well in the overall fleet makeup of the Consortium and finally solves the problem of ships fleeing them.
