OOC: If you watched Farscape, then you'd know what this is :p I'm also open to suggestions on what to add to the Spec's/Background. Much thanks.
IC: Through successful wormhole experimentation, the Commonwealth of Ackerenia has brought back a contingent of Leviathan class Bioships from the Parallel Universe.
"What is a bioship?", you ask? Well, Bioships are basically living ships. They are "born", mature, and even reproduce. There are only transportation type Leviathan's born. But from research and much development, we have developed a Gunship class Leviathan. When they are young, a Leviathan is bonded with a Pilot, who serves as the Leviathan's navigator, operator, companion, and link to the crew of the ship. Leviathan are ships of peace, and as such have no offensive capabilities. They do have an impressive defensive maneuver, however, called Starburst, which allows the ship to travel at incredible speed through a tear in space-time.They prefer StarBurst for long range travelling. Little is known of the physics behind Starbursts, but it is known that the ship is taken into another dimension, and it is possible to become lost if the ship is underpowered or control is lost. They have a thick outer skin capable of keeping a pressurized atmosphere inside, and also generate a bioelectric field that can keep small openings in the hull from venting atmosphere. Holes in the hull are repaired by symbiotic organisms called Hodian trill bats, whose excrement is a sealant. Other maintence details are handled by bio-mechanical DRDs, breadbox sized robots which the Leviathan manufactures. Leviathans also have something simmilar to a tractor beam (called a docking web) that can be used to "pick up" objects and small ships and bring them into its docking bay. The docking web is apparently powerful enough to immobilise and "reel in" small ships (like a prowler or transport pod), although only at very short range. They also have regenerative capabilities.
Here are some of the Spec's:
