All aboard the psychotic ship
the Finny! Xynthica's main vehicle, you'd think that the Finny
would be lost technology from before the Xyniverse was created
just like everything else, but nope, the Finny is really just
a souped up suicide shuttle with a few key differences that has
earned it the reputation for being one of the two most feared
small space ships in the Xyniverse, including, but not restricted
to the girly paint job. Although the interior of the Finny is
made up of regular material used in spaceship construction, the
heavy shield like head of the ship is actually made from the same
thing the Snail Blade is, which is unbreakable Amaranis Snail
Shell. What this translates into is a ship that's main form of
attack is literally a full frontal kamikaze suicide attack, but
instead of being destroyed, the Finny rams straight through anything
it hits, utilizing the power of it's superior Omnidrive, allowing
ordinary maneuvering speeds that are actually faster than hyper
warp speeds of other ships. Frequently, the Finny will destroy
a ship at such an incredible velocity that people wouldn't even
have a chance to see it coming with radars, let alone the naked
eye. Of course, the Finny takes an incredible pilot to be able
to use effectively, and who would have thought that a little girl
who collects caltrops in the spring time would be the one? Now,
you'd think that the Finny would use some hardcore VR interface
to steer all of it's complex systems, but the truth is, the Finny
seems to practically run on DOS.
In time, the Finny gets upgraded with an arm like extension
that allows for it to rip off parts and weapons off of enemy ships
and various cable connections that can entrap and hack into computer
systems. The Finny also gets a main weapon, known as the "Light
Year", which although only has enough power for one attack
per charge, can slash an energy blade for approximately the distance
of a light year and cleave anything in it's way, similar to the
weapon Kilometer that it is based on. The ship's computer interface
also is upgraded into an OS that has a pretty cute hologram girl
as the spirit of the ship, along with a system of information
input and analysis known as the highly experimental SHIPON - KS,
named after a legendary pilot and programmer.
The Finny does have one weakness though, it doesn't have
any energy shields. Apparently, originally being a suicide ship,
the original designers of it's body didn't take into account the
fact that it might actually live to see another day before Xyni
refitted it. |
