DESCRIPTION: An unholy combination of kyrr ships and deathspider hulks to
form a base of operations. It looks like a large jack of kids games, but
with 3 pods around each point(18 total pods). (Put 2 deathspiders head to
head and you get the overall look, and stack 3 like a pyramid to get the
effect.)

A group of adventurers happened upon a large battle between the neogi and
kyrr, who fought because the neogi insulted their spider god. The
adventurers salvaged the hulks and kyrr ships. One of them happened to
have a kids game in his pocket and got the idea for the base configuration.
The kyrr ship 3 plane design worked well. The party was trying to get off
planet, because a group of mages were searching for the dragon orb they
had. They used it to power the helm. The name comes from its looks(like
a star, and because it was built from black widow neogi ships.) The
sliding cargo compartments were preserved so as to have a garage for a
couple of ships. The base literally bristles with weapons, but the
central sphere only has 8 bombards. The rest of the weapons are in their
standard locations. There are no legs, these were used for bracing and
internal building compartments. [the map to come later].
A smaller version of the base was built, with only 6 pods.
600T, crew 256/600 (100 for forge), mc e, 6 hvy catapult, 24 hvy
ballistas, landing (no), ar 5,save as crystal, powertype dwarven forge,
sr 4-6. cargo: 150-200 of the 300 is used for raw materials for the
forge. Periodic trips to asteroids must be made for new raw supplies to
keep the forge working. The main base has other problems..it must go
where the artifact wants to sometimes.
