Dropfleet Commander - Shaltari Monitors

Please Note these will arrive in NON Retail packaging.

Much as with the Scourge, monitors are an unusual fit in Shaltari fleets, due to their low speed and consequent lack of finesse. Instead, Shaltari types fulfil a rearguard role.
The most frequently seen is the Silicon class, armed with a quad-bank of tilt-able ion cannons, giant versions of those commonly found on Kukri grav-tanks. While these effectively damage ships in higher orbital layers, their true value is in disrupting the power systems of larger ships.
Most Shaltari ground forces reach the surface via Voidgates - ubiquitous, unglamorous ships. Voidgates tend to be lightly armoured and unarmed, making them easy targets. However, sometimes the Shaltari need to guarantee landings planetside, so rely on heavier ships. The Selenium class is one such vessel. It has the transference capacity of a Voidgate, and guns designed to fire out of atmosphere at starships. This allows the Selenium to defend the ground troops deployed through it.
