Firstly we need a Vogon Destructor ship:
Vogon Construction Ship (734 points)
Class: Vogon Superdreadnought
Mass: 80
Move: 4
FTL: Std
Tech: Vogon
Hull: Military (they tend to run into (or through) things...)
Streamlining: Partial
Damage: 40; 10/10/10/10
Systems:
3 FCS
Screen - 1
8 x PDAF (they don't like hitchhikers)
6 x Ortillery batteries (for planetbusting)
8 x C-batteries; 4 x P/F, 4 x F/S,
Vogon Poetry Transmitter (2 mass/10 pts)
Electronic Thumb (1 mass/7 pts)
Ok, now for stats:
Vogon Poetry Transmitter: Used in boarding actions. Roll 1 die as PDAF
fire, except hits are inflicted on the other ships boarding factor
before resolution. (ie. a 5 is rolled against a 6 BF ship; it now has
only 5 BF to repel boarders)
Electronic Thumb: Used in boarding actions. If the Vogon's win a round
of Boarding combat, they begin torturing the prisoners. Roll a d6. On a
roll of 6, the Vogon's BF is _increased_ by 1 to represent the prisoners
telling them how to bypass the security codes.
I think I've got the devices right. :)

It's thrusters all aglow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
The 'Mechs were sure to blow.
