SPECIAL FEATURES
Designed by Irumakka Sednava and one of the original flagship products of his company, the MK 1 Laikatta Secondary landing gear is composed of three pneumatic durasteel "claws" with four "fingers" each, mounted on retractable arms. When folded away, everything is neatly contained within a thin module that can be embedded into the bottom of a starship. The pneumatic components of these claws allow them the force to punch through and grip onto many materials. The intent is to be able to grip astral objects so that you may park your vessel on them, but this system would also theoretically work on extremely large ships, like star destroyers.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Allows you to secure your ship to astroids, meteors, comets, and other astral objects with very low gravity.
- Fully retractable.
- Capable of some degree of articulation in the likely event of an uneven surface.
- Very strong pneumatics allow it to dig into and grip even some of the firmest materials.
- Very secure grip. Not only will it keep your craft from drifting away from a surface, it will also be very difficult to pull free of that surface without being released.
- Not a substitute for regular landing gear. This system is made to keep a vessel from drifting away from a surface, not to keep it from falling down onto the ground. If you try to fully support a ship with these in an environment with a gravity over 0.05, they will collapse. So be sure to recognize when to use this system in conjunction with your primary landing gear, rather than instead of.
