ULTRAHEAVY CRAFT
Harbinger of Death Hyperstation
MANUFACTURER: Arilou Spatial Construction Ltd
CLASS: Hyperstation
LENGTH: 10,000 Metres
CREW: 2,000
PASSENGERS: 6,000
SPEED RATING: 100,000,000 KPH in space
FTL: 30x lightspeed
HULL: 30 foot thick stasis crystal/neutronium alloy
SHIELD RATING: 30 magnetic screen projectors spread around the station
SUPPLIES: 100 years
WEAPONS:
1 IDF Hyperweapon,
400 'Hydra' gauss guns,
75 'boomer' heavy plasma warhead lauchers,
25 'drake' heavy plasma cannons,
Description:
Built for Ankhmet by the Arilou'la'leelay of Falayalarafali, the Hyperstation class was created for Ankhmet as an ultimate weapon, designed to be capable of sending whole star systesm into the Immaterium. Because of the massive investment of materials and upkeep, the Harbinger of Death has been kept in Q-space for the past two centuries, and has served as the citadel of the Tribunal whenever they return to Q-space. The HoD is supposed to be able to withstand an assault from an entire explorator fleet, the best of Ankhmet. As a result it is very expensive, and only one was ever made. there are rumours of a second being built on Akronos, but he plague will most likely kill all the workers.

Ramses Pyramid Dropship
MANUFACTURER: Ankhmeti Drive Systems
CLASS: Dropship
LENGTH: 300 metres
CREW: 10
PASSENGERS: 150 Ankhmeti Guard troopers
SPEED RATING: 250 KPH in atmosphere, 500 in space
FTL: N/A
HULL: Kevlar/titanium alloy
SHIELD RATING: N/A
SUPPLIES: N/A
WEAPONS:
5 'blaze' medium laser turrets,
1 'slug' missile launcher.
Description:
designed to solve the problem of Ankhmet's need for a cheap and effective dropship when on campaign, the Ramses was the solution. A large Pyramid design was decided upon, if only to unnerve planetary populations. The sight of a huge pyramid firing lasers and missiles at their cities often made target planets surrender. The sight of 40 of these was also condusive to surrender.
