Re: Sa'Vasku starbases

Group,

I fairly new to Full Thrust and Dirtside but I'm hitting the ground
running
here in Atlanta with a Sa'Vasku fleet.	I also enjoy Kr'Vak, NSL, and
I'm
working on a custom Independent Mars nation, rebel colonies.  But the
Sa'Vasku are my main fleet and loving to make 'space terrain' and
conversions I started thinking about the idea of a Sa'Vasku star base
and
other Sa'Vasku unique 'terrain.'

I was thinking about if the Sa'Vasku would even make these since each
ship
might be considered an individual creature.  But like a queen bee of
sorts
or even a tree, a Sa'Vasku star base might be an almost immobile
creature
but still central creature to the race.  By central, these star bases
could
be nodes to a hive mind or feeding grounds / hospitals / shipyards of
sorts
(see below.)

The weapons and fighter scheme of the Sa'Vasku would make the star base
impressive and perfect for defense of a world.	I think it would be
reasonable for the Sa'Vasku to have them, but they would most likely
only
have them in combat in rare cases.  At least in my mind I see Sa'Vasku
as
aggressors against the humans so their star bases would not be seen as
much
as say a human star base.

These Sa'Vasku star bases might be places where the other ships are
grown/born, almost like a ship yard but with huge wombs.  This would
make
for an interesting mission for a human fleet to enter a system to fight
such
a star base creature to cripple her (destroy the shipyard.)  Plus there
might be young ships there ready to fight for their 'mother' which is
Sa'Vasku star base.
