Done by scythemouse who brought some really old scribbles to life for me! :D

The design hasn't changed much since these ships where first forged by Vesh'Del'Lalaurna upon her Star Forge as she brought her people to the stars. They are light, fast, and far more armored and armed they they appear. (think the Defiant from Star Trek) This particular vessel was actually forge by her hand's and was brought back into service nearly ten thousand standard Earth years after it's last mission.

Feature's:
2 Quad-turrets mounted in the top hull with 2 Quad-turrets mounted in the bottom hull. They have the ability to track independently or to track to one point together. They provide offensive power that covers a very wide arc of fire, and while not seeming like a lot of firepower due to the unqiue nature of other features it's more then enough

2 Forward mounted Quad-turrets Very limited movement range, but they can track with the other turrets in the forward arc or independently.

2 forward mounted mass accelerators. Using a more "disposable" version of the displacement drive this allows shots to "skip" shields and even armor plating to strike more sensitive targets inside a ship. Many times Vesh'Uth Captains start a combat by placing two shots into the targets engine's before transmitting the request for their targets unconditional surrender. If their is a failure to comply the next shot is placed into the bridge, and the same message for surrender is repeated.

Displacement drive: An engineer would call it madness. A mage would call it impossible. Vesh'Del'Lalaurna as a technomancer of extraordinary power (think a great scientist in Civilization 5... only it spawns after you drop your first city and when you expend it your in the information age at 4000BC) The drive fuse's together magic and technology on a level that even the Vesh'Relmaru don't fully understand how it works today, though Vesh'Del'Lalaurna was no fool and imparted her knowledge on how to craft the parts to five Forge Masters, who in turn have passed their knowledge down.

The drive itself pulls the ship out of phase with reality so that they can break, change, or replace the rules of reality with those more suitable for faster then light travel. This mode of travel is faster then any known form in the galaxy, but it's highly detectable due to the energy released to pull into and out of phase with reality. However, the ship is able to fire at other ships while phased out, and the only warning the target get's is the sudden weapons fire that came from "empty" space.

The components that make the displacement drive are the 3 hexagons on the top and bottom (total of six). They lift up off the hull slightly to expose a portion of the drive.

Docking: each ship has a docking ring in the bottom center that is designed to clamp on and piggy back on larger Vesh'Relmaru ships. It does have the ability to clamp and burn into the hull's of other ships for boarding actions.

Profile: The profile of the vessel, as you may have noticed, has no window's. This is a two fold reason... the first is that most larger ships design to hold these smaller ships are designed in a way that make them look like part of the hull. the second is due to the nature of the displacement drive makes window's very... "unsafe". Not to mention windows is space are silly. haha.

Standard crew: Ships normally needs about 12 crew to operate. 6 for a skeleton crew. this includes one pilot, one gunner, one comm/nav, one captain, two engineer's for skeleton crew.

Internals: (considering commissioning scythemouse later for this) There are two main layers. The "bridge" section (the grey bit in the center to the front) which contains the bridge, captains quarters, and bridge crew quarters. the main section of the ship contains a small Amory, a maintenance/workshop bay (power armor, misc construction needs, ect), cargo bay (near the docking port), medical bay, troop bay (up to 20 soldiers), mess hall, engineering section (rear section sandwiched between the two displacement drives on the butt)
