Description: The truly massive and imposing Bin’Tak is almost always the flagship of any attack fleet it accompanies, and for obvious reasons. Bin’Tak hulls are the largest and most costly in the Regime, representing a huge expenditure in resources and work hours devoted to the creation, manning, arming and deployment of these mobile fortresses. While its armament is formidable, it is slightly vulnerable to a well-planned or massed assault and will never be deployed to a battle without a proper escort. This cannot be mistaken for weakness, however, for the Bin’Tak can single-handedly decimate a small fleet of lesser spacecraft in minutes and is arguably superior in many ways to a Centauri Octurion battleship.

The Bin’Tak is quite literally a flying city devoted to the war effort. There are blocks of barracks-style housing sitting down a corridor from special low-G weapons foundries that use castoff fusion exhaust to help forge weaponry and charge systems. Hundreds of Narn scramble from weapon console to assault shuttles at a moment’s notice – ready to do battle across space, on enemy decks or in fighter cockpits all with the same fervor.

The Bin’Tak is a personification of the Narn mindset – bigger than life, hard to kill, and armed with a hundred ways to deliver defeat to their enemies
