Hold Ship

Leagues of Votann Portal

Hold Ships are a type of warship used by the Leagues of Votann.^[1a]

Description

Hold Ships are titanic vessels, rivalling a large asteroid in size, resembling a truncated triangle when viewed from above and a shallow rhomboid when viewed from side-to-side and front-to-back. Most of their mass is concentrated in the aft section, where banks of engines, stellar in output, are situated. Most of the crew habitats a superstructural keep that rises above the engineering decks, defended by defence turrets^[1a] firing yellow laser blasts^[1d] and cannon-batteries^[1a] like plasma launchers^[1c] and Ion arrays^[1e] with the power to destroy moons and squadrons of smaller spacecrafts.^[1a] Hold-Ships also armed with torpedoes and defended by defensive shields.^[1c]

Hold Ships have a main corridor, running the third of their length from front to back. On the roof of the corridor, an elevated carriage system is mounted.^[1a] They also have a Fane, encased in a near indestructible yet plainly decorated case to not draw the attention of potential borders. Still as a last resort, the chamber hosting the Fane also has a potent self-destruct mechanism, flooding the chamber with plasma to prevent any unauthorised access by destroying all equipment.^[1b] Hold Ships have a primary dock capable of accommodating lesser spacecrafts, up to twenty Pioneer Ships at a time.^[1a]
