OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Volee Heavy Carrier from Sable InterplanetaryPRODUCTION INFORMATION
A blaster pistol not secured to the hip by a well-made holster will do a gunfighter little good. For a quality weapon to be deployed effectively, it must be stored, transported, maintained, and kept at the ready with the same quality with which it was made. The Aroh Automated Starfighter is one such quality weapon, and now, from the Dreamers of Sable Interplanetary, comes the quiver made to transport these silver spears of light throughout the galaxy.
The Volee Heavy Carrier makes ample use of Sable's proprietary Verdant Mytag technology, allowing hundreds of fighters to move and fight as if they were a single organism. Supporting the droid fighters are 5 administrative Sable AIs, as a network of over 70 dedicated piloting AI systems survey and operate various ship systems to keep the Volee's performance optimal.
This communication center is protected by prodigious shielding and armor plating, and ferried by a highly advanced hyperdrive to wherever in the galaxy the enemies of progress might hide.
We believe prodigious defenses are necessary to safeguard our stakes and interests among the stars, because we bear more on our shoulders than the expectations and trust of investors and customers. We bear the story of those who challenge the edge of impossibility. We are Sable Interplanetary.
- Intent: To create a mainline carrier for Sable Interplanetary's Aroh Automated Starfighter, to form the backbone of it's defensive fleet.

- Quiver of Arrows: The Volee Heavy Carrier was designed for a sole purpose- to quickly deploy 600 Aroh Automated Starfighters into battle to protect the interests of Sable Interplanetary. It's very good at what it does, with hanger space being the foremost priority of its design.
- Chatterbox: The Volee allows a sentient or tactical AI to communicate with and coordinate 600 automated droid fighters simultaneously and in real time. It does this through the unparalleled power of several linked multicore Verdant Mytag Transceivers.
- Run Away!: An advanced hyperdrive enables the Volee to safely flee from an engagement that appears to be going poorly, without much fear of being caught in retreat.
- Sluggish Beast: The Volee is not a particularly fast or agile ship for its class, with little hope of outrunning midsized anti-capital ships.
- Low Caliber: For a martial ship of its size, the Volee is not particularly impressive in its armament, and will be outgunned by a well-equipped fellow battlecruiser.
- Open Door: The ship's open design in its center is a vulnerability where bombers or torpedoes are concerned. A direct hit could potentially destroy a squadron of undeployed fighters, or leave deployed fighters with no hanger to return to, effectively stranding them.
- Catch My Breath: Thought the Volee's hyperdrive is impressive, at top speed it puts a marginal strain on the ship's hypermatter reactor. When coming out of hyperspace after a full-speed jump, processing power is reduced, and the number of Aroh Droid Fighters the ship's system can coordinate simultaneously is halved. This effect typically lasts a few hours after such a jump.
