Complement:

Description: The only Vree hull that is not designed along the common ‘saucer’ format, the Xeel is more cylindrical in shape, revolving on its vertical axis instead of its horizontal one. Odd-looking and awkward for a Vree ship, the Xeel is the only ship designed to carry any semblance of fighter support. With advanced gravitic hangar bays and classified Conglomerate launch methods, the Xeel can manage to pack a full dozen heavy fighters in its comparably small frame and disgorge them in rapid succession. For its usefulness, it relies very heavily on those fighters and escorting craft for protection, as it is very poorly armed and armored. Taking the capabilities of the Tzymm fighter into mind, it is not unheard of for a Xeel to arrive, vomit out its fighter compliment, then immediately retreat back into hyperspace.

The opposite of this mentality, the Xeon assault variant of the ship is armed and armored more akin to its war saucer cousins, using this to punch deep into enemy lines before releasing a series of assault shuttles and breaching pods containing brutally well-equipped Vree soldiers.
