Bem Dreadnought

Bem Dreadnought
The Terrifying centerpiece of any Bem Fleet, the Bem Dreadnought resembles a massive buzzsaw, but with a powerful twist on the other Bem ships, the Dreadnought it equipped with a weapon called a gravity sheer, using powerful concentrated gravitational fields to rip enemy vessels apart, as if to make it more terrifying, while slower than the smaller Bem Cutters and Rippers, it is much more durable, this power however, comes at a price, the vessel, despite only being a large capital ship, requires a dreadnought grade reactor, this means that if the vessel's reactor goes critical, the vessel and its escorts will surely be destroyed in the following explosion, the Bem have developed some counters to this, such as mandatory shutdown of the reactor core if the vessel is damaged to the point of being incapable of combat, despite this, many battle groups have been lost to exploding Bem dreadnoughts.
