Description: Outside of Syndicracy territory, the Avioki is easily the most commonly encountered Brakiri warship. Its strange and looming outline can be seen traveling in large groups throughout heavy traffi c trade routes or sent directly into conflicts all over the galaxy where the Brakiri have something at stake. They are capable machines of destruction that are almost single-handedly responsible for making a name for Brakiri war effectiveness.

Featuring slow-firing graviton beams in its primary armament, there have been a few newer versions of the vessel fitted by the different power families over the years. Where the common Avioki uses graviton beams and pulsars, the reincarnation of an old chassis – the Batrado – is a cheaper version that uses the smaller weaponry solely; used on the knowledge that the sight of the familiar hull is enough to ward off most raiders. The newest of the Avioki family, the Kaliva, uses powerful new hull punching weapons called gravitic lances to rip enormous gouts off a target in a single concentrated burst, making it a deadly counterpart to shorter ranged vessels and a surprise to fleets that often out-range the Brakiri.

Whatever the brand name or version, the Avioki is the image that comes to mind whenever the Brakiri war fleet is brought up in conversation, and probably will be for a long time to come.
