Quicklight: Ictus class starship

Ictus class starship

Constructed in early years of the Ringworld Era, the Ictus class starships are some of the most unique ships in the galaxy, and one of the most powerful designs ever created.
Despite it's small spaceframe the ship has a pair of large thrusters embedded in the aft of it's triangular hull and a pair of high power lance cannons affixed to either side of the hull. However the feature that makes the Ictus class both unique, and impractical for mass production is that the ship has no main (or auxiliary) reactor core. In fact, the ship has no ability to generate or store power and relies on the presence of an Illian to power the ship. These ships are the personal ships of the Illians and are used as force amplifiers for their battle tactics. The ictus class ships went out of service shortly after the First civil war, during which they were all destroyed.
 Over the years leading up to the first civil war a few Ictus class ships were lost or destroyed due to various failures and aging parts. However they were all replaced at a rate to keep a maximum of 9 in existence at any one time.
