Sala'dine
Admiral of the Ghost Fleet
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
Designed by the Second Fleet as a back up system, a secondary set of ablative armor in case of problems. The drone screen is for larger ships able to dedicate space to miniature factories to repair and rebuild after a conflict. Converting debris from fallen ships to re-purpose and patch itself. Automated collection in ship tractor beams to get debris from damaged drones to process and reassemble them in a section that is built into the ship. The screen is a last resort and designed to protect from missiles or fighters acting as a moving ablative armor. Allowing it to take hits in the same area as the drones will be shifting and able to have debris repaired, reprocessed and re assembled if it is capable. A drone foundry with enough raw materials can make new drones as needed quickly.

SPECIAL FEATURES
- Creates a defensive screen of mini-drones equipped with anti starfighter and anti missile laser cannons. Designed to swarm around in a cascading shell around a ship able to absorb like ablative armor turbolaser fire for a few moments and being able to attack fighters that get close to the ship.
- Cheap On board factory: Designed to be rapidly produced with materials on the ship requiring a node that can work to assemble and process raw materials. This makes replacing the drones that are damaged from debris and scraps on the ship much easier but they are simple, small and isolate the ship from a fight.
- Ion/EMP Hardened: Reinforced duraplast adds a strong resistance to Ion and EMP attacks allowing the drones to take for the ship and shields some ion cannon shots without completely disabling the drones.
- Blinding: With the swarm it functions two ways, obscuring the ship from view of its enemies and also from being able to see said targets visually and on the scanners except where there are gaps.
- Shielded: WIth the defensive screen in place fighters and weapons cannot be fired through the screen without damaging the defensive screen.
- Overly Engineered: Designed as a defensive screen able to become offensive if enemy IFF tags come within range for strikes. This makes something unique for protecting the ship but it also can take the ship out of the fight.
