One of Moff Rulduk's more unusual
innovations, the Unity class ships are designed to be launched from
Star Destroyers to provide light battle cruiser support for combat
operations. The Unity class ships are not equipped with
hyperdrives, crew quarters or cargo space, and are not capable of
spending more than two days outside of their host ship. Because of
this, the designers at Guruk System Yards have been able to cram
massive amounts of weaponry into the Unity ships, enabling them to
fight ships far larger than themselves, including hostile Victory
and Imperial SDs and Yaeger Destroyers. In addition, Unity
Warships are quite agile in both space and atmospheric conditions,
and are often used as pursuit craft if targets retreat out of the
reach of larger ships. Some Unity class ships have been designated
as Planetary defence ships, and are launched from surface bases or
orbital defence platforms, using this atmospheric power to great
effect.
However, because of this overloading of weapons and shield
systems, Unity ships are prone to chain reactions and violent
magazine explosions, particularly if the heavy proton torpedo tubes
are destroyed (if a weapon destroyed roll comes up, roll 1D
additional damage for the quad lasers, 3D additional damage for the
turbolasers, and 5D for the torpedoes. If weapon destroyed comes
up again, repeat.), and this weakness has lead Rulduk to postpone
production on the majority of the Unity class ships commissioned,
though his engineers are still working on the parasite warship
concept.
