The massive Son'a Collector was originally constructed as a stationary, purpose-built technology platform, intended to convert and collect the metaphasic radiation found near the Baku homeworld within the Briar Patch. Since that time, the ship has been refitted with all of the necessary weapons, engines and other subsystems, to allow this formidable piece of technology to function as a dreadnought within the Son'a fleets. It still possesses the energy-absorption technology it was originally built to use, as well as now housing a wing of fighter pets, its own weapons arrays, and much more.
Deploy Consumption Array (Innate Ability) Activate to deploy the Collector's huge absorption sails. While deployed, your starship will gain a passive increase to the Drain Expertise skill, as well as absorbing a portion of all incoming Energy Damage. After absorbing a certain amount of incoming energy, the absorption sails will release a powerful burst of thermolytic energy which will restore a portion of your hull capacity while also causing Radiation Damage to foes in front of the sails.
As a trade-off for these powerful capabilities, the Collector will be significantly slower and less nimble as long as the sails are deployed. You will also be unable to use Full Impulse while in this mode.
Once deployed, the Collector will remain in this mode indefinitely. Deactivating it will put it into a brief recharge period.
This vessel has 1 Hangar Bay that comes equipped with [Hangar - Son'a Assault Fighters]
This starship features a Lieutenant Command Universal/Intel Specialist Bridge Officer seat and an Ensign Universal/Temporal Operative Specialist Bridge Officer seat.
