Description
Design plans for the Hii-Ven Monstrosity 2 were given to us by the Hiigarans as a reward for stopping a large Vaygr invasion set on taking Hiigaran territory, but unfortunately the unsuspecting fleet hit our minefield we set up on the border two years ago. About 500,000 Vaygr ships got caught in the field and only 127,450 limping back in to Vaygr space with only a few being undamaged and the rest torn apart by one of the Hiigaran patrols that were close by.
The role of this ship is either escorting transport ships with other Hii-Ven Monstrosity 2’s (with fighters as extra escort), guarding shipyard facility’s, patrolling borders, orbital bombardment, support, sniper roles and spear heads for punching straight through station defences, for this job the ship needed powerful both hyperspace and engine drives. After several failed prototype tests which ended in almost catastrophic disaster (for a few of the prototypes) which consisted of drive core failure, power core over charge (happens if a system is using too much power), main gun randomly discharging (Put a hole through one dry docked Hellfire Cruiser), Hyperspace core interruptions randomly on activation (is caused by a leak in the stabilizers), Hyperspace black hole core event (New hyperspace core that was being tested) and finally the strangest one, complete ship transformation. This is caused by the new drive cutting power to the core itself during hyperspace, it for some strange reason turns ship ( under certain circumstances) into a stuffed toy version of itself, unfortunately the crew inside gets turned in to the fluff that many stuffed toys have inside them. One of the many Ship Lords had a solution to get rid of these giant stuffed toys.
We made a shrink ray several centuries back so we could shrink these down and sell them to the young ones - Lord ship master Kurtis
This new ship will be using a new drive which can punch holes through dimensions while making space around this entry point ripple. Through these holes the ship can then almost instantly travel to the set destination. On current tests we have had no issue but some of the crew of one of our test ships said they heard banging and scratching on the hull of the ship as it entered hyperspace, and they were right there were massive claw marks in the hull. Prototype needs further testing. – Hyperspace Head Engineer Wercs
Note:
Due to many unforeseen events of using the experimental hyperspace drive, which the engineers have called, The Rippler, many dangerous entities and unidentifiable ships have been appearing out of these holes from space time and everything in between. We have stopped all tests to do with these drives and have placed all of them in orbit of The DS (The Darkstar system in the [Erased] system), Command had placed the drive at STG 6 7 and the reason for this is Test 56. In Test 56 we sent three TUF’s (The Unstoppable Forces) in to hyperspace. Only two of the three ships exited hyperspace at the correct position. The third was thrown out of hyperspace two light years out of our galaxy. We were about to send ships out to its positon to escort it back when we received class 5 biohazard leaks from the ship, but that was impossible, the prototype ship had no weapons or special fuel so a leak would have and should be impossible. Data received from the vessel showed that something splattered on to the side of the hull and had got through. We lost all communications after that last data was received, we sent out a probe to the ships exact last positioning and found only a derelict shipyard and a tiny particles belonging to the [Erased] we have notified Kiith Somtaaw.
Research at our black hole research station in the [Redacted] system have come up with a new safer hyperspace drive that can bring a ship to the other side of the galaxy in (possibly) less than 4 minutes using a special field that uses a tiny bit of [Redacted] matter. The field expands from the centre of the fleet and expands outward, while this happens each ship that is touched or passes through this field has its hyperspace core fully charged and ready to go. The larger the fleet the longer it takes to expand, but with more TUF’s then it will be shorter and field will speed up and expand dramatically. On first test using 150,000 ships of many classes with only ten TUF’s it took about 5-7 minutes to expand. Second test with 300,000 ships and using the same ten TUF’s it took 8-10 minutes. More tests were done and were successful, and with this ship being almost easy to make, it is aimed to be the back bone of every Vendator fleet. The engineers have nicknamed this drive as the Bubble drive for the clear coloured sphere (bubble) that expands from the centre of the fleet.
The Monstrosity 2 is a powerful ship with a very formidable armament:
One powerful weapon was made specifically for this ship, which is a fusion of Vaygr and Hiigaran technology. The Hiigaran avatar class battlecruisers Dual heavy ion cannon and the Vaygr battlecruisers Trinity cannon were used in the construction of this weapon. Engineers constructed a very impressive cannon, on its first test it was able to rip straight through destroyers and battlecruisers with ease. Only issue is certain type of shielding systems, on one of our several tests we gave a Vaygr battlecruiser a shielding system and it absorbed the blast completely, engineers say it’s an issue with the array set up but another issue is if they redesigned it, it would be too large for the Cruiser class to carry. This new weapon has been named by Engineers as the Red Glare.
The full armament of this ship consists of is:
1 Red Glare
4 Heavy Kinetic guns
2 regular Hiigaran type torpedo tubes
4 Heavy Vulcan Kinetic guns (Two at the bottom two at the top)
2 Kinetic Burst Cannons
1 EMP cannon
4 Trinity beam (located at the front)
6 O class missile launchers
1 Fusion type torpedo launcher
3 anti-fighter missile launchers
6 Laser turrets
12 Flechette cannons
Shields are yet to be included aboard this cruiser class for reasons of current power issues, but for now the very strong armor plating made of [Erased] and [Erased] can take a big beating from current tech the Vaygr, Taiidan, Hiigarans and [Higher rank required].
