STRENGTHS
- Heavily Armored: The Terminus Assault Pod is equipped with reinforced durasteel plating alongside standard deflector shields. It is more than capable of shrugging off large amounts of enemy fire on route to its destination/target.
- Rocket Powered: Aside from a standard Ion Engine massive Rocket Engines are integrated into the Assault Pod to both assist it in punching through the hulls of enemy ships but also to give it a colossal boost in speed ensuring it is difficult to target.
WEAKNESSES
- Limited Maneuverability: Essentially the Assault Pods are enormous bullets, their engines propel them forward but don't account for a lot of maneuverability which is why they're used to assault large capital ships that make for large targets.
- One way ticket: The Assault Pods can only go one way, forward. Once they hit home and bore into the side of whatever Capital Ship they were aimed at there's no going back. If you're looking for a way off you'll have to find it yourself.
DESCRIPTION
The Terminus Assault Pod is the brainchild of Garrus Garon who designed the ship and took it to MandalMotors for production. According to Garrus and others of like mind Mandalorian Warriors should be able to hit hard, hit fast, boarding and taking enemy vessels with ruthless aggression. It's a do or die attack and retreat is never considered. An Assault Pod can carry upwards of twenty troopers for boarding actions, etc.
The Assault Pod is essentially a troop carrier sandwiched between an enormous interplanetary mining drill mounted on the fore and repurposed for assault and a colossal rocket engine mounted on the aft. Once the pod is launched its ion engine assists in steering it so that its aimed at the Capital Ship it's targeting then it cuts out and the rocket engine engages, blasting the Assault Pod towards the target. Defenses such as reinforced durasteel plating and a deflector shield help the Assault Pod survive the journey while the combination of reinforced durasteel plating and heat shields help the Assault Pod punch through any shielding that would otherwise impede it from striking its target. Once it makes contact the enormous drill comes to life, ripping through the hull into the interior of the ship.
A Terminus is intended for interspace warfare and while its heat shields, etc would enable it to enter a planets atmosphere it does not have the proper configuration to maneuver itself into a landing position nor is its velocity ideal for such. If a Terminus lands on a planet it will be a crash landing.
