Legend

this Ssi-ruuvi design is a small drone ship powered by enteched life energies. These pyramidal ships were the main assault fighters of the Ssi-ruuvi fleet, and over 1,300 of them were sent to assist in the capture of Bakura. Each Swarm-class drone was packed with power generators for weapons and engines, battery coils to house two enteched life forces, sensors, and a drive unit. The power generators use fusion energy, and produce easily-trackable radiation trails. Maneuverability is achieved through the use of four small thrusters mounted around the outside of the ship. Each thruster can be independently angled to provide incredible turning ability. Each corner of the drone is armed with a laser cannon which has 360-degree rotation. They are remotely controlled by Ssi-ruuvi command cruisers which transmit directions to the drone's enteched life energies. Each Swarm-class drone was armed with four turret-mounter laser cannons, located at each point on the ship's outer hull.
