Intent: An updated Lwhekk-class manufacturing ship, for converting the loot of a thousand worlds into something useful. Updated due to Danger Arceneau's purchase of the blueprints and exclusive production rights.
Development Thread: here
Manufacturer: Haven Shipyards | ATC (Copyright infringement from the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium)
Model: Lwhekk Aleph-class
Affiliation: Haven Shipyards | ATC | Open Market IC purchase
Modularity: No
Production: Minor
Material: Durasteel
Description:
The first working model of the Lwhekk Aleph was a captured Lwhekk-class manufacturing ship, heavily retrofitte by Iron Crown. ICP techs grew frustrated with the problems of Ssi-Ruuvi engineering, however. There is only so much one can do with huge hallways, fragile hulls, sparse weapons mounts, hangar bays optimized for tiny droid fighters, and entechment gear instead of proper generators.
The Lwhekk Aleph, as a result, is a wholly humanoid-optimized vessel, while retaining the most critical components and functions of the original Lwhekk. As a bonus, the vessel is unmistakably Ssi-Ruuvi in outward appearance, leading to all manner of false expectations.
The internal factories are optimized for the production of wartime materiel, in the mode of the original Lwhekk-class. They are fully capable of building starfighters, capital-grade guns, and starship components. A Lwhekk Aleph in partnership with a publicly available Reclaimer-class repair vessel is virtually a shipyard, or at the very least a drydock. Like the Reclaimer, of course, the Lwhekk Aleph is expensive and far from combat-optimized. Its factories work from raw materials, even asteroids and battle debris; however, its facilities are equally adept at stripping down and cannibalizing captured war materiel.
Due to modernization and automation, the original 7500 slave workers have been cut to 3500 well-paid, well-treated skilled workers.
Recent acquisition from Iron Crown Enterprises gives ATC the blueprints and exclusive production rights.
