Wahant Heavy Assault Ship

Assault ships have long formed part of the Dilgar fleet. Their lethal, ultra-destructive arsenal forms a key element of the Dilgar fleet. Assault ships are designed to subdue enemy worlds, or installations such as orbital stations. Often the Dilgar will decimate these targets simply to force the enemy into surrender, perhaps allowing the Dilgar to take hostages from those enemy fighters and civilians trying to flee the devastated world. Prior to the onset of the Dilgar War, the Dilgar seldom used assault ships for occupation and so the discovery that the Dilgar’s home system was threatened by supernova called for a subtle change in tactics, resulting in the development of several new assault ship classes and the refitting of almost all the Wahants to the current configuration.
