Siege Module I

An electronic interface designed to augment and enhance a dreadnought's siege warfare abilities. Through a series of electromagnetic polarity field shifts, the siege module diverts energy from the ship's propulsion and warp systems to lend additional power to its offensive and defensive capabilities.

This results in a tremendous increase in damage, as well as a greatly increased rate of defensive self-sustenance. Due to the ionic field created by the siege module, remote effects like warp scrambling et al. will not affect the ship while in siege mode.

This also means that friendly remote effects will not work while in siege mode either. In addition, the lack of power to locomotion systems means that neither standard propulsion nor warp travel are available to the ship nor are you allowed to dock until out of siege mode.

Note: A siege module requires Strontium clathrates to run and operate effectively. Only one siege module can fitted to a dreadnought class ship.
