Tyranid bioweapons
"Is that a tentacle on your ship? Hey... Hey... HEY!!!! NOOOO!!!!! Not up the Plasma Drive!!!!!"
I really did not expect to see something that skirts the edge of rule 34:ing imperial ships and tyranid bioweapons when I started reading this thread. Also , does the above count as shipping? How many lame jokes can I sneak into this reply? Noone knows.
On a more serious note. Looking at the illustration of the Stryxis Xebec it seems larger than a light cruiser. Got lots of other ships interconnected to the main ship. May not be so weird that it has a lot of shields seeing as its three ships wired together. Though I imagine their shields wouldn't overlap taht much so their tech may still be more advanced.
