Kushan "Matriarch" Support Frigate

Kiith LiirHra has been in many deliberations on how to best retrofit one of the oldest and most honorable ships ever to be built during the Homeworld War. The Matriarch was the first frigate hull to ever be built following the burning of Kharak, and was used in a variety of roles which evolved over time as the fleet became less strike craft based and more based on capital ships.

These days the Matriarch does not serve much as a front-line fleet tender, as it's aging hull and antiquated systems were not able to hold up well to the rigors of combat. Instead, the remaining hulls were converted into deep-space scout carriers, utilizing the old refueling pads as external docking space, and making use of space saving power plants in order to convert the lower hull into a makeshift fighter repair bay. The result is a nimble but versatile ship, capable of being self-sustaining with a very sizable crew compliment (7 crew, 10 pilots). The ship has enough space to comfortably house both officers and enlisted, as well as having a built-in grow lab (courtesy of Uron Mining) to be able to have functional long-term use of this vessel in any environment.

Many features of this ship includes:
-ability to land planetside, with optional ability to support a scouting HV inside the repair bay
-LiirHra patented "Sentinel" anti-boarding system ensures that in the event of boarding, your crew is made aware and automated countermeasures prevent access to sensitive areas
-Uron GrowLab (tm) allows for farming staple crops to sustain food supplies for long journeys
-Engineering systems feature best-of-class protection and gravity generators, as well as automated lighting and reactor containment
-Limited ability to build replacement parts and tools, as well as a repair bay for fighters to do minor repairs
-Redundant and separated ammo stores, with one light cannon turret
