The Spear of Eos
Physical Description: The Spear of Eos is a 135km vessel that is more of a towed weapon emplacement than a true star ship. Truly huge in size the Spear of Eos dedicates most of its internal space to internal reactors and containment units. While having a large crew complement for maintenance and care it is mostly automated by VI systems and controlled by its attendant fleet. Always found in concert with a fleet it has very poor moving capability under its own power and virtually no self defense. The Spear of Eos is supposedly one of the weapons that Eos himself designed for his children to construct when the time came. And is designed to wipe away the sins of unbelievers through sheer power. The Spear is the relic weapon entrusted to Grand Exemplar Monomus and was forged using the old secrets of Eos himself as such it is considered a hallowed event for the Spear to be used by the Consortium.
What exactly does it do: The Spear is essentially a weapons platform, with the capability to destroy entire solar systems with its power the Spear is a weapon that must charge up after being towed into position by its attendant fleet. It is considered both a holy and dire day when the Spear is deployed.
Physical Capabilities: The Spear is able to destroy entire solar systems through its main stranglet artillery weapon. By channeling enough power to create a miniature star it accelerates the stars cycle and compresses it to the point it collapses into a special kind of neutron star. By using titanic energy forces the Spear can 'fire' the core of the 'strange' star (a Quark-Gluon mix essentially strange matter) in a contained beam towards the systems star. As the strange matter rapidly converts everything it touches into more strange matter the stranglets convert and consume the star. In its death throws massive flares and bursts similar to solar winds transport the strange matter around the solar system, touching planets, asteroids, orbital stations and ships and converting them all into more stranglets. After the star is consumed the density of the strange matter collapses itself into a strange star, and the huge increase of gravity in the system draws the remaining stranglet 'blobs' which were once planets etc. back in to the strange star, self containing itself within the system.
Weaknesses: The Spear MUST be transported to the edge of a solar system by an attendant fleet. It cannot move at sublight speeds on its own apart from maneuvering units to fire, and has virtually no self defense capability apart from some directed wave cannons. It for all intents and purposes is linked to its controlling fleet, and is fired by the Exemplar commanding such fleet. Without a support fleet it is just an immobile weapon platform and so it is easy to damage when fired at. It also requires at least 3 turns to charge before firing its main gun, and then another two before it has to FTL out.
How many Slots do YOU think it takes up?: 3 being able to completely destroy a solar system warrants slot 3
