After the failure of the Bakura campaign Firwirrung barely escaped with his life, contrary to popular belief. Many years after his narrow escape from Sibwarra, Fir began his new carrer in ships design, basing most new models off his former studies in entechment learning, he counted on the more consumable energy forces on the front lines of battle being the quickest form of victory over the Fft. Most of that life force, logicaly, would be located within the enemy's military itself. With his well reknown right angled thinking he came to his own solution in the way of fleet powering. The Devourer would be a backline vessel, praying on smaller weakened ships drifting outside the battle arena, capitalizing on their weakness by using its highly ionic complement to shut down hurt ships. draw them down its maw, inside its massive internal cavity and keep them inoperable until they could be captured fully and their crews enteched. The Maw can accomidate ships up to 3,500 meters long, and as large as 2,000 meters tall and wide.
-Ion Projectors-
In esscence Ion Projectors are modified tractor beam projectors that have been reinvented almost fully to spray a stream of ionic pulses over a targeted area instead of drawing in gravametric units. Must be powered up over one post, then iniated in the next.
