Complement:

Description: After seeing the constant streams of Dilgar Thorun fighters swarm over their frontline ships, the Brakiri decided to create a truly massive quintessential carrier to send into any engagement with a high probability of enemy fighter support. The Cidikar brings more fighters than they really need along with a number of powerful weapon systems to a battle.

In the boardroom the power families soften a target up with large purchases and distracting overbids, only to actually cause the deathblow with dozens of tiny acquiring buys from shell companies based all over the galaxy; essentially coming from every angle at once. The Cidikar is much like it on a battlefield. Using its powerful laser cannon and graviton pulsars to throw an enemy into disarray before the waves of Falkosi tie up annoying fighter screens – leaving a window for Pikatos heavy fighters to ‘seal the deal’ and finish off the enemy.
