Jurai Sloth Cruiser is a revolutionary support ship, recently designed and built by the Cosmic Empire of the Planet Jurai (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Planet_Jurai), though it is yet to go through combat testing or to be put into mass production.

Twice smaller then Jurai Battleship, and with three times weaker shields and firepower and three times smaller troop capacity, this ship’s primary combat value is its Mass Incensement Sloth System of MISS. MISS fires high-level energy charges that will track the ship it is locked upon, which for most purposes is essentially a ball of light, and therefore, is totally indestructible by any known means and capable of passing through any known energy shields. Though Sloth Charges don’t carry any destructive power, they temporary make the ship they strike twice heavier, greatly reducing its speed and maneuverability, and in some cases rendering the ship totally immobile as the ship’s engines no longer capable of moving the ship’s increased mass.

The design is not without its flaws, however, as MISS is quite massive and requires quite a lot of energy for operation, thus reducing the amount of weapons and shield generators that can be put into the ship greatly. Moreover, MISS is quite expensive, which makes mass producing Jurai Sloth Cruisers somewhat difficult.
