Dominion R&D: Parrow Lin Ramship

Parrow Lin Ramship, 35 meters
Armament: None
Carrier Capacity: None
Compliment: 15 Parrow Lin
The Parrow Lin Ramship is similar in purpose to the Tetrehedron, without the miscelanious armament to allow it to engage vessels. The Ramship exists to deliver Parrow Lin to enemy vessels for capture or intentional capsize. This can work in two fashions.
The Ramship has powerful engines with which it grinds it's way into a vessel. With a vessels shields down, the Ramship runs the vessel full bore, backs up, and rams them again. The process is repeated until the ship's hull buckles, or the Parrow Lin become agitated, leave the ship, and begin beating it in with their fists.
The second, and often times more successful method, involves a prexisting hole in the vessel. Created by a Parrow Lin battleship or Cree'Ar plasma, the hole can be further widened by the head of the ramships repeated blows.
Once aboard, the Parrow Lin often make their way to the engines. They either destroy the vessel or do their best to disable the powerplant, and then work their way up to the bridge. Emergency bulkheads often fail to stop them, as they simply knock them over. A lack of life support is a minor issue... generally, Armorlin are sent, and their armor contains a filtration system which allows them to breath where no oxygen exists.
The Parrow Lin ramship has a secondary purpose. It is used to deliver Parrow Lin to a planets surface, and once there, can be used as a light tank... though it has no weapons, it has a hull inside which the Lin can pentrate defenses and attack from behind perimeters though unbreachable. It is more common, however, to simply drop the Parrow Lin out of ships and allow them to fall to the surface.
