Affiliation: The Zilkins, or other very small species
Manufacturer: The Zilkins
Model: Zilkin Dreadnought
Modularity: Can be modified extensively, especially for use by various small sentient species.
Production: Limited
Material: Durasteel hull, little bitty transparisteel viewports
Classification: Assault Corvette

Length: 200m
Width: 170m
Height: 110m

Armament: Rating 13

• 8 double turbolaser turrets
• 4 ion cannon turrets
• 10 laser cannon turrets
• 2 tractor beams

Defenses: 13

• Respectable hull with extreme crush resistance
• Military-grade shields

Hangar: None

Special Features:

• Extremely cramped internal corridors and rooms, by humanoid standards. All controls scaled for use by very small species (35cm or less).
• Services and recreational facilities appropriate to a much larger ship (crew lounge, medical centre, machine shop, etc.).

Maneuverability Rating: 10
Speed Rating: 10
Hyperdrive Class: 1

Strengths:

• Absolutely immune to boarding by humanoid-scale sentients.
• Optimized for use by small sentient species (35cm or shorter).

Weaknesses:

• Dense internal construction adds to mass, which limits acceleration and maneuverability.
• Internal corridors are far too cramped for any humanoid-scale sentients.

Description: For centuries, the noble Zilkin civilization has participated in galactic society. Averaging 33 centimetres in height, the Zilkins have used their keen intellects and profound ingenuity to adapt to a galaxy populated by giants. One of the apex achievements of the Zilkins has been their construction of fully functional starships scaled for their species and their vertical peers. The Zilkin Dreadnoughts come across as average but generally competent corvettes. Up close, one notes that the viewports are all minuscule, as are the airlocks. Were a humanoid observer to squirm through a hatch, they would find the corridors extremely cramped and likely impossible to navigate. The Dreadnought's crew figures are comparable to a vastly larger vessel, such as a full-sized Star Destroyer.

The Zilkins, both benevolent and clever, created the Dreadnoughts with adaptive controls, suitable for a variety of very small species. For example:

• The Hoojibs of Arbra (30-55cm), at least the smaller ones.
• The As-Aki of the Asobi System (20cm).
• The Nezumi of the Kathol Outback (9-13cm).

As a result, the Zilkins have cornered the market on starships for very small sentient species.
