XM109 Lillours-YG Leech Frigate (4)

Xygritt Matriarchy

      The Lillours-YG is a specialist vessel designed to disable enemy ships for capture, in concert with troop ships.
      The Lillours-YG removes all of the Lillours’ particle beam turrets in favour of six forward-mounted leech cannons. This gives is a considerable ability to disrupt and disable an enemy ship, but it must first survive to reach close range. Lillours-YGs are thus often deployed in numbers, often two to four, to maximise their ability to survive and get in close.
      The leech frigates are most often paired with Golausio Troop Ships and their Kalu Assault Transport to perform the actual capture operations, since the crew of a Lillours is too small to deal with any vessel much larger than commercial small craft.
