Description: A collective term used by spacers to describe the cobbled warships built and used by raider cells, Battlewagons are usually civilian ships like freighters or transports that have been doctored to support numerous weapons platforms and rapid-access hangars for their harassing fighter compliments. Durable and built to withstand large amounts of escort punishment, the Battlewagon has a large hold to fill with loot if possible and a large number of prisoners/hostages if necessary.
While some gunnery variants exist depending on what manner of raider had it assembled, the most common versions use laser cannons and stolen particle weaponry – the hardest to trace back to a black market source, but also rely rather heavily on their practiced, efficient and merciless fighter pilots to cripple vessels well enough to be boarded and sacked for anything the Battlewagon can carry in its sizeable cargo holds.
