Description: The Holepunch is designed in a time of turmoil for turmoil. The ship was built with a set of redundant shields and heavy armor to attempt to make a ship that can survive passing through enemy fleets blockading planets. The ship's primary design is to get relief down through an occupying fleet. The weight of the armor slows the ship down, meaning that almost any ship the same size could easily catch up to it. However, the ship has shielding equivalent to a corvette, able to survive most attacks long enough to get the supplies it carries planetside. Although the ship's weapons leave something to be desired, the ship as a whole is built around survivability over all else.
The excessive shielding does take up a lot of power, leading to a lack of advanced systems on the vehicle. The targeting system and communications array were left at the minimum requirements to successfully pilot the ship.
