Legend

this is the typical Aing-Tii starship design. Referred to sometimes as pilgrimage vessels, the Sanhedrim ships are huge, cylindrical craft which are very organic in design. Like the Mon Calamari star cruisers, no two Sanhedrim ships are exactly alike. They are unlike anything seen or produced by the rest of the galaxy, with engines, thrusters, and weapons sprouting at weird angles and placements. The hulls of Sanhedrim ships are covered with millions of glyphs and sigils that mirror those found on the bony plates of the Aing-Tii themselves. The ships average about 300 meters in length, and have a crew of 150 plus 66 gunners. Typical Sanhedrim ships are armed with the unusual Aing-Tii weaponry, often 30 energy web generators and 6 null-burst projectors. Sanhedrim ships are often well-shielded, and are hyperdrive-equipped. However, instead of a slip of pseudomotion before entering hyperspace, the Aing-Tii ships simply disappear. They reappear just as suddenly, as if they were created in their new location. Rather than direct fighting, the Aing-Tii often use these ships as battering rams, seriously disabling the slave ships they hunt.
