Dread Cruiser

The Dread Cruiser is a spherical battlecruiser/space station that has been thus far the setting for Troopers. The Dread Cruiser was built and commissioned at an unknown time, and is operated by the Interstellar Legion. Dreadlord Sinister is stationed aboard this ship, along with a massive complement of Dread Troopers.

Size
The vessel itself is twelve hundred miles across, the size of a planet. It is divided into quadrents, with a coffee shop called Hoolio's in the southwest quadrent. Dreadlord Sinister's office is a three day journey from the southwest quadrent.

Monster Floor
An entire deck of the massive Dread Cruiser is filled with nothing but horrible alien monsters. Rich reported that he got lost on this deck on the way to Hoolio's, in an attempt to get Dreadlord Sinister coffee.

Superlaser
The Dread Cruiser's deadliest weapon is a giant superlaser capable of destroying entire planets. This enormous weapon was used unsuccessfully by a Dread Trooper gunner in an attempt to destroy Alara's moon. The superlaser fires a light blue/cerulean beam, and has a recharge time of thirteen hours before it can be fired again.

The superlaser is similar to that of the famous Death Star.

Maintenance Stations
The Dread Cruiser's many tasks are carried out on dozens of small maintenance stations. Rich and Larry work at Station 38.

Some of the many jobs on the Dread Cruiser include:


 * Scrubbing the waste pipeline
 * Operating the tractor beam
 * Operating the airlocks
 * Operating the superlaser
 * Maintaining the Dread Cruiser's thrusters and braking systems
 * Maintaining the sales department
 * Guarding prisones
 * Catering and reporting to Dreadlord Sinister
