Resistance Fireships

The Resistance employs a wide variety of improvised fireships, far more than other forces, out of necessity. Frequently faced with a chronic shortage of true warships, the Resistance is forced to improvise. Typically, an ordinary shuttle such as the C-19 Pony is stripped of its systems, covered with additional armor plating, fitted with a rear-facing escape pod, and then packed with every explosive and scrap of fine metal debris that can be scavenged.
