The ship is designed
with symbiosis mounts that allow other ships to “hitch” on the craft’s
spike drills. Each shiptender mount allows one craft of a hull size
smaller than the tender to link up for intersystem drills. Mounts cannot
be used for in-system travel. If the linking ship has been designed to
be carried by a tender then establishing this link takes one hour. If
not, it takes a full day to fit the ship into the mount. Ships can
dismount from the tender with an hour’s disentanglement. In an
emergency, the carried ships can dismount instantly, but the mountings
are considered disabled then until repairs are made. Carried ships
cannot fight.
