Shattersoul

The Shattersoul belongs to the Dark Lord Crix of the Cult of Shadow. It is a heavily modified CEC Action VI Transport, designed to be as fearsome in battle as its owner. At the current sacrifice of 30,000 tons of cargo space, Crix was able to add many modifications to his ship over the years.

The Shattersoul is equipped with a powerful shield generator and reinforced armor that is able to amply protect it against ships as large as corvettes and small frigates. Two turbolasers, one on either side of the vessel, can be a nasty surprise to those expecting an unarmed transport. In addition, four rotating laser cannons, two in front and two in back, help to protect it against starfighters and warheads. Two forward facing variable warhead launchers give the Shattersoul an added punch.

Perhaps the biggest surprise on the Shattersoul is that it also carries two CIS Droid Tri-Fighters in its hold, thanks to a hidden docking-bay specially equipped to support the compact fighters. Every standard year Crix orders a handful from the Colicoid Creation Nest, but since he doesn't need to replace as many as he orders, theories abound that he has a hidden storehouse somewhere that he keeps his extras. In any case, the starfighters help to give the Shattersoul another edge in combat.

The use of droid starfighters is no accident as Crix generally travels alone. His ship is heavily automated and staffed by droids, only requiring a living crew of one to give orders. Despite this, there are living compartments on the Shattersoul for up to ten others besides Crix. These compartments can be easily converted into prison cells if the need arises.

Thanks to its power and versatility, the Cult of Shadow frequently makes use of the Shattersoul for missions. It is perhaps one of the most well-known ships in the entire cult.
