Description: Heavily modified and streamlined from the Skyhammer hull, the Tobraki is a crossbreed between a breaching pod and a landing shuttle. Equipped with grapples, a magnetic sealing hull cutting ring, room for two full units of Brakiri infantry and a single powerful weapon system useful in knocking out defensive guns on capital ships, the Tobraki has all but replaced the Skyhammer in regular uses – saving the larger troop carrier for special missions.
Using a smaller version of the same graviton beam found on many capital ships, the Tobraki has a powerful weapon at its disposal. Unable to mount it properly on a turret, the ship must lift back off in order to use the bow-mounted beam – meaning that the boarding marines must already be within the bowels of the ship before doing so. If the Tobraki lifts off early, or is destroyed by enemy fighters, the remaining hole left in the hull will no doubt spell disaster for those still inside the breached area.
