Description:
With an ever increasing need of an efficient assault ship for the Fringe, Lussk Logistics and Iron Crown teamed up once again to fulfill the desires of the fleeter to create the Spewer-class Assault Ship. The vessel was designed to provide fleets with an adequate fighter complement while also coupling this space/air superiority with a full cargo bay of 4,000 ground personnel along with 20 walkers/vehicles for assault use. As for naval combat, the Spewer-class only wielded a few Heavy Laser Cannons and other anti-fighter batteries. The Flak Batteries that were introduced worked wonders on enemy attack craft, capable of destroying multiple craft even if the round doesn't make contact. Since the vessel boasted only a small armament, it was highly vulnerable to larger vessels that fielded turbolasers or ion cannons. To counter this, Lussk Logistics and Iron Crown added advanced shield generator systems to the ship to protect the large complement inside.
Great for anti-fighter, ground assault, or carrier roles. Considered suicide to use one of these without being attached to a fleet.
