Hota-Class Battlepod

The Hota-Class Battlepod is a fourth-generation Sfrarabla Mishhuvurthyar Nougpift battlepod. It is utilized by both the SMX and the NMX. It became available in YE 45.

History

The Hota-Class Battlepod is a fourth-generation battlepod employed by both the SMX and NMX. Its primary purpose is to serve as the standard space superiority fighter within the Mishhuvurthyar war arsenal. This design lineage traces its origins back to the NMX Battlepod (Type 30A) and the NMX Battlepod (Type 33). The Hota-Class Battlepod was meticulously crafted and introduced just in time for the commencement of the Third Mishhuvurthyar War against the Star Army of Yamatai in YE 45.7.

Description and Mission Specialization

The Hota-Class Battlepod performs two critical mission functions:

Appearance

The Hota-Class SMX Battlepod has a reseblance to a Crab or a Beetle-like appearance. The pod has a central body/carapace with an elongated spherical main section, with two pincer-like appendages and three sets of leg-like appendages designed to latch onto the hulls of enemy vessels.

The cockpit is defined by a capsule bump on the dorsal side of the central body/carapace. The SMX tend to use a fleshy pink color scheme with glowing aether accents, and the NMX use a more brownish-red color livery on their version of the craft.

The battle pod is specifically designed to have a menacing and aggressive appearance, designed to prey on the fears of their enemies.

Crew Supported

The ship is designed to be operated using the Mishhuvurthyar Brain Slave, which serves as the equivalent to the Armor Integrated Electronics System (AIES) produced for the Star Army of Yamatai. The unit can also be manned with an Advanced-Type Mishhuvurthyar or NMX Nekovalkyrja.

Vessel Dimensions

The dimensions of the battlepod are as follows:

Propulsion and Performance

This vessel complies with the Starship Speed Standard.

Class Multi-Stage Aether Drive Integrated CFS Array Hyperspace Drive
Hota-Class Battlepod .375c 18,750c 0.75 ly/m

Damage Capacity and Combat Durability

This vessel's damage capacity statistics are in compliance with Damage Rating (Version 3).

Damage Rating (Version 3) is Tier 7.

Inside the Cockpit

The cockpit contains a hemosynthetic insert with a direct connection1) to the brainslave, Advanced-Type Mishhuvurthyar, or NMX Nekovalkyrja. Entry and exit of the craft is through the ventral side, which when manned, allows for easy egress when the pod attaches itself to the hull of an enemy vessel or has settled down on its 'legs' in a landing bay.

Subsystems

The internal systems and components of the Hota-Class Battlepod.

Hull and Spaceframe

The hull is composed of a Durandium Alloy frame with interlocking SMX Yamataium Equivelent plating. Interior compartments are coated in Yarvex. It is coated with the reversed engineered Sitearium stealth coating which was reverse-engineered from United Outer Colonies vessels during the Second Mishhuvurthyar War.

Integrated Hull Systems Include:

The leg appendages of the craft are made of Zesuaium and are used to gain access to enemy starships.

Power Systems

Power on the Hota-Class Battlepod is provided by two small aether generators. An integrated capacitor system includes up to three days of emergency power as a backup system.

Propulsion Systems

The Hota-Class Battlepod is equipped with a compact Multi-Stage Aether Drive for sublight applications. It also uses the Integrated CFS Array for Continuum Distortion Drive propulsion, and Hyperspace Drives. It has Maneuvering Thrusters (ion thrusters) that are used primarily for attitude adjustment, docking, and station keeping.

This battlepod uses a basic anti-gravity engine for atmospheric and underwater use.

Electronics System

The Hota-Class Battlepod uses the Brain Slave system, which serves as the equivalent to the Armor Integrated Electronics System (AIES). This also includes all standard communication, Sensors, and other basic electronics systems.

Life Support and Environmental

The Hota-Class Battlepod includes Standard Life Support Systems.
