    System 5 Disruptors

    The Groumall was jury-rigged with large planetary disruptors salvaged from the destroyed outpost on Korma. The upgrade required emptying the cargo bay, which cost  Dukat his profits.

    System 5 Disruptors allows any affiliation acesss to a powerful, but easy-to-staff ship, just like Klingons with their K'Vort class vessels. In some cases, they're even stronger. The Rigelian Freighterimage becomes a WEAPONS 10 beast, while still retaining a decent 8 SHIELDS, all for only one command personnel. Not to mention the important advantage you gain using System 5 Disruptors - surprise. An opponent can be easily lured away from the safety of their facility if they believe you do not pose a threat to them. But catch them on your turn with this event and you can destroy their ship before they even see it coming!

    Combo:

    • T'Pauimage + System 5 Disruptors: The SHIELDS may drop to 5, but for a powerful punch of WEAPONS 11, it's worth it! There's always a Plasmadyne Relayimage or two to help you out there.
