SPECIAL FEATURES

• Has two Energy Arcs and a Wraith Projector.
• Can micro jump using Quicksilver once per battle closer to the enemy. Doing so leaves it unable to fire the post it makes the action before or after the jump.

Strengths:

• Firepower. In addition to conventional weapons the Obliterator has a vast array of special weapons which can rend enemy ships apart.
• Defences. The solid mass of the Obliterator combined with its molecular and regular shields and heavy plating makes it very hard to destroy.
• Jump. In addition to advanced hyperdrives the Obliterator can microjump with precision to close with the enemy.
• Warheads. A massive array of energy torpedoes allows this ship to unleash a devastating volley of plasma warheads.

Weaknesses:

• Slow. The Obliterator is monumentally slow and clumsy to turn. Staying out of reach is the best strategy.
• Support. The Obliterator has no hanger and limited defence guns. Without support it will be preyed upon by enemy attack craft.
• Range. Many of the Obliterator’s weapons are designed for close range. It has much fewer long range weapons.
• Engines. The one chink in the armour of the Obliterator is its engines. Though well protected, it is considerably less protected than the rest of the ship, if one can get into position to attack it.

Description:
The Obliterator is the largest of the Contingency’s assault warships. It sacrifices speed, attack craft defences and hanger for a suite of extremely powerful weapons and defences.

Designed to advance directly on an enemy and attack them at very close range. This is slightly offset by its slow speed. However, by using a phasing jump drive it can move towards the enemy once per battle rapidly…at the cost of being unable to fire before and shortly after this is done.

[SIZE=11pt]The Obliterator certainly has strengths but also weaknesses which can be exploited. Attacks by attack craft, or those which use its slow speed and agility have the best chance of bringing it down. [/SIZE]
