Akras
Background
These native sophonts, a minor race, became involved in the early history of the Foreven Sector in 531. There were a series of three wars. At the time the Akras only had access to tech 9 ships. They had mastery of biological weapons and technology. The ship hulls were unusual for their alloy of lead, iron, and cobalt used. They used Bio-armor for their soldiers and marines.

The K'Bam class Assault Lander is a TL–8 organic hulled orbit capable landing craft.
Description (Specifications)
It is a smallcraft with 1-G performance with a streamlined hull. The Spemin use this bio-organic hull for boarding actions. It is designed to deliver a single fire team of assault marines as a boarding party to hijack enemy shipping. Their propensity for piracy makes "enemies" a subjective term. It has a crew of 1 and carries 4 marines.
Hard ossified bony heat sheathing is configured into a crude conical shape. Grappling tentacles hardened to resist vacuum desiccation can use their immense strength and suction to overpower hatches and iris valves. The slimy marines in their vacuum kit are disgorged to loot the innards of their unfortunate victims.
Each vessel has characteristic bio luminescent and genetic markers that allow specially equipped operators to distinguish between examples of the class. Members of other species have a more difficult time telling them apart.
Basic Ship Characteristics
Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (...of ten subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

History & Background (Dossier)
Spemin colonies grow and genetically craft these ships to be carried into combat aboard larger, more capable motherships. Their prismatic spore casters are mainly defensive in nature, although the particulate velocity can erase unshielded personnel. They are typically escorted by K'Pow Class Fighters who fly over-watch and bombard targets with their missile pods. They seek to knock out a target's weapons and drives to facilitate boarding.

History & Background (Dossier)
Pilots are typically capable of grafting with their vessels to become one living organism.
They have been growing this species of fighter for a long time. Upgrades are slow to evolve. This organism is a tool to get a job done.
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities
Naming the ships is like a farmer naming all their cows.

The craft is considered antiquated and obsolete by contemporary Charted Space standards, but a locally produced craft has its own advantages.
It is armed with a triple pulse laser turret. It's reactor produces energy to fire the laser mount liberally.
It can carry two light craft in its cargo bay: Craft:
- x1 6T Light Fighter
- x1 8T Assault Lander
It carries a crew of eight, three officers and 5 enlisted. An additional four marines crew the lander. It can carry an additional 5.0 tons of cargo, typically fuel bladders and munitions.
