The Rebel Faction

R&D 1: The K'nass

When the core leadership, and its respective servants returned to Lwhekk and began the rebuilding of Ssi-Ruuvi civilization they reviewed past errors in tactic, ships design, and basic religious practice's observed under combat. While tactics were found to not be in flaw, and as the Gold scales refused to admit to any misdoings on their part the error was found to lie in ships design.

Data from capture colony worlds taken on the edge of known space, before the incident of bakura began to float around amongst the Brown scales. Data began to be discernable, new more powerful systems began to be intigrated into ship design. While hull shape remained the same, interior layout and systems were radicaly changed for the better.

Fallen wreckage from the final days remained on the homeworld still, some Chiss materials, data content still full. It too was used to intigrate newer Ssi-Ruuvi systems.

The K'nass was the first new colmenation of designs, while not enough resources were available for its construction, it remained on the drawing boards till such time as it may become available.

(OOC: Though lengthwise it may be shorter than a Soviergn, its height and width, forming its egg shaped apperance, make it into an Eclipse class vessel, and thus taking all the build requirements needed to build an Eclipse type vessel)

The K'nass' main weapons are two super ion beam weapons that can disable any ship with a combined hit from each, single hits from each seperatly are sufficent enough to knock out a great deal of ships systems on most ships (equivalent to half). It is equipped with super shielding that can withstand heavy bombardment and possibly superlaser hits as well. There are two massive hangar bays, one at each flank of the ship, that are large enough to accommodate ships up to two kilometers in length. The K'nass carries literally hundreds of entechment labs so the crews of captured ships can quickly be enteched. The enteched life energy is sent to the ship's droid manufacturing area where they are immediately transferred into a new droid.

OOC: Gash has given this ship a quick once over already and has given a basic approval of it, and has given permission for it to be an 8k+ vessel for the sake of taking the place of an Eclipse in the Ssi-Ruuvi fleet as the Ssi-Ruuk have no Eclipse type equivalent.
