wow  I don't know what must be neater. To have that ship or to be the guy
who can come up with something like that. ok I have to go flip around the
house this ship is so cool.. brb.


ok back
If I had this ship I'd eat it because it would leave such a pleasent after
taste its so fine. If I was flying this ship I'd be shot down so quick
because I'd be opening and closing it all the time.

The pictures are somewhat larger than I expected, so I hope they aren't too
slow.  Mediocre blurb follows.

From the Solar Union starship library:


Ovoiti “Armadillo”

Design Code: FG0328A
Type: Ground assault fighter
Maker: Ovoiti Defense Industries

Crew: 2 (Pilot, Gunner)
Powerplant and Drive System:  Unknown spectral motivator, denoted Ovoiti B2
Weaponry: 1 Heavy pulse cannon, 2 medium charge lasers

Evaluation:  The Ovoiti heavy fighter known in Union ranks as the
“Armadillo” takes the stubborn Ovoiti aversion to casualties to an extreme
level, with mixed results.  For its size and purpose, the Armadillo’s
weaponry is extremely underpowered, but the craft itself is nearly
impossible to knock down and fires with excellent accuracy.  On the rare
occasions the Ovoiti feel the need to send a message by force, their raids
become a battle against the clock: can the infrastructure that swarms of
Armadillo’s gradually disect outlast the Ovoiti’s willingness to risk losses?


Ovoiti “Armadon”

Design Code: MW0323D
Type: Medium Transport
Maker: Ovoiti Defense Industries

Crew: 6-8
Powerplant: 2 ODIs3 StarTurbines
Drive System: 8 ODIa2 Spectral motivators
Weaponry: 8 Anti-capital arc torpedoes, 10 Tracking blast capsules

Evaluation:  Where a typical Ovoiti sloop-of-war uses its speed to enter and
exit battles quickly, the “Armadon” command variant avoids the firing
entirely.  The weaponry it retains is intended to discourage pursuit and
keep the tacticians it carries out of harm’s way.  Created to coordinate
attacks by other Ovoiti craft, in peacetime these small command ships may be
encountered performing space traffic control or police duties.
