Volarr Battle Transport

A very rare Xorr variant, the Volarr is designed to fill the role of a Battle ready marine transport. While the Xeon is the mainstay vessel for this role, it is a dedicated transport often used only in military ventures. The Volarr on the other hand is meant to be a more flexible vessel. It retains several of it's heavy weaponary to provide a powerful ship to ship vessel. The ventral Cannon has been replaced with an modular hangar design which can be quickly fitted to the ship. The more long term comittments in design involve the removal of the Antiproton Guns for their smaller Defender counterparts. The freeing of space from the gun itself as well as cooling equipment and matter-antimatter conversion devices have to lead to additional space for marine barracks are supplies.

In result the Volarr is a ship which can deal well with enemy ships in both need for destroying them and capturing them. Due to the large amount of breaching pods the Volarr is often used in escort duty roles. The highest precentage of Volarrs is by far used by the merchant class to capture or kill (at their option) enemy raiders who seek to steal valuable cargo. Due to the weak frame of the Vree body, the marines are often foreign soldiers. Usually, they are leant from a trading partner to whom the goods are travelling to or from.

NOTE:Because the Hangar is located in the turret; it is hittable by the "weapon" hit result on the general hits table. It is not affected by any primary: hangar hits.
