Description:
Repulsiotech Crowd Control Turret
The Repulsiotech Crowd Control Turret is a weapon of rather unconventional design. Upon deployment an arm mounted on the back of the vehicle lifts the rear engine assembly out of its resting place and converts it into a turret. The function is exactly as anyone could expect from a device like this, it repulses stuff. Smaller engines rest across the body of the turret to act as compensators during activation so that the whole ship doesn't go flying. The thrust generated by the firing of this weapon is enough to throw back or otherwise restrain a group of targets as if they had walked directly behind a shuttle in take off. On standard settings it is incapable of inducing great harm, more so just holding people in place than hurting them, but the initial shock of being thrown down can cause damage. If dialed up to a higher setting then the thrust from the turret can begin to cause actual damage to someone in its path, but risks damaging the framework as well as overtaxing the battery. Effectiveness is decreased at a distance as the thrust levels drop, but this can be compensated for by focusing the blast into a more narrow cone to increase the range but decrease the spread.
Onboard Laboratory
A laboratory has been built into the ship to allow for calculations and scientific endeavors on the go. Assembly of devices up to the size of a wardrobe can be conducted with its engineering facilities. The lab also allows for the conducting of astrometrics as well as mobile repairs and minor healing.
Walker Mode
A set of 8 pods rest along the sides of the ship, opening up to deploy the Star Spider into walker mode. The legs contained within are bulky and slow moving, though allow for fine tuned movements while on the ground.
In addition to the specialized facilities there are enough consumables aboard the ship to last a group of 5 for around 3 months, though extra storage may be added if necessary.
Development Thread: If Necessary
Intent: To operate as a mobile base of operations for Saul as well as to bring a method of nonconventional combat to fights.
