Robot Ramship
Ship Class: Ramship
Ship Role: Ramship
Ship Length: 350 meters
Agility (A): 2
Defensive (D): 4
Offensive (O): 2
Speed (S): 5
Special Gear: 1 (Reinformed Prow)
Description:
A typical robot ramship was an automated, gestalt starship assembled by outlaw techs, usually in the Outer Rim Territories. These shady individuals took the shell of a junked warship, often of Corellian Engineering Corporation design, and packed the hollow interior with solid durasteel. This packing was focused towards the front of the vessel, creating a toughened bow capable of smashing through shields and thick hulls, which usually featured a bulbous nose. This afforded the ramship incredible mass, which translated to incredible kinetic energy which was used to impact against an enemy vessel in a multimegaton explosion. Some were also fitted with additional charges set to ignite on or shortly after impact, ensuring total annihilation of a target. However, the solid interior also made the ramship difficult to maneuver. Ramships were designed to be solid metal bullets used specifically for suicide runs.
The vessel's exterior was modified to give the false ramship the appearance of a typical ship of the line. The hull was customized with dozens of painted-on portholes, observation ports, and underpowered laser cannons and turbolasers, while structural support rods helped keep the vessel intact. The hull was thick enough to absorb even sustained blaster volleys. In order to achieve ramming speed, these vessels were fitted with high-acceleration quad engines fed by engine-blast boost lines, which provided the ramships with high boost. These engine arrays were designed to provide enough thrust to drive the weapon towards its target, and could only operate on full power for a few moments.
Because of the suicidal nature of a ramship's missions, these vessels were not crewed by organics; rather, the ship's computer core was fitted with a droid brain. This unstable droid pilot had the intelligence to put up a convincing fight against enemy vessels, and was crazed enough to destroy itself by ramming its target at the first opportunity. Ramships were also installed with an extensive database of military tactics, and, unlike the droid brains utilized in drone barges, lacked any self-preservation safeties. A guidance computer and an extendible sensor suite assisted the droid pilots in their suicide missions.
