Zhurite Voidform Striker

The Striker is an anti-ship Voidform created by the Zhurite Alignment. Designed to work with its cousin the Soldier, the Zhurite is meant to bring heavy firepower to bear against similar or larger vessels.

Power Generation

The voidform primarily relies upon its Holzmaan Siphon for power. A variant of the Zhurite Holzmaan Lens, it operates by drawing subatomic particles from four-dimensional space. Since these particles are a property of subspace, they become highly energetic and unstable when they are extruded into normal space, which the voidform utilizes for power and propulsion.

Propulsion

The voidform's main propulsion is a quartet of Type-2 Holzmaan Lenses and of Type-3 Holzmaan Lenses. Working in much a similar manner as the Holzmaan Siphon, these lenses focus the energy out behind the craft, with a limited angle of rotation to help with thrust vectoring. The Type-2 lenses also make use of a 'fin' structure for additional maneuvering. For course correction, the voidform relies on a series of naturally secreted chemical propellants.

Weapons & Armament

• 1x Heavy Laser Battery (11x12): Utilizing jadonyx lenses, these arrays of powerful lasers allow the voidform to overwhelm fighter craft, missiles, and the shields of larger vessels. Despite their appearance, lens adjustment does allow up to a 30 degree firing arc.
• 4x Diffusion Anti-Ship Torpedo Launcher: These launchers utilize unstable Holzmaan lenses as explosives. Resembling nuclear missile strikes, these weapons are more effective in a vacuum due to their spatial distortions they cause. Can also interfere with fold drives.

Armor and defense

• Kinetic Barrier: A kinetic barrier uses the three-dimensional aspect of the Holzmaan Effect to create a suspensor field around the generator. Objects that come in contact with the shield are deflected by the repelling force. Is particularly useful against low-mass weaponry such as a Directed Energy Weapon. Angular vessels, and thus, barrier designs are often used to minimize the angle of deflection needed for the attack to miss the target.
• Crystaline Organic Composite Armor: Like other Voidforms, the hull is a growing/self-building technology that automatically constructs new hull areas. The hull is a semi-organic structure with a laminated assembly that expands via the automatically constructed laminate. Despite appearances, Zhurite vessels are effectively cybernetically enhanced living Zhurites, they are grown as much or moreso than they are constructed.

Communication Tools & Systems

Like all Zhurite, the Voidform colony is capable of producing weak Holzmaan Waves naturally. However, the voidform's range is limited, leading the Voidform to become separated from the Zhurite network when away.
