Plasma (physics)|plasma]] conduit line, and uses the acid to burn open a sizeable hole to allow the plasma to damage its own ship. The Leech helps this process by shunting burnt material out into space though alternatively, the Leech may opt to shunt the material into the resource pod instead, for processing back at home fleet. Meanwhile, the onboard AI interfaces with the vessel's native computer network and disables warning and repair routines.

In addition, the vessel boasts a feature no other Mothership-class spacecraft in the entire Hiigaran Navy can claim; a massive Siege Cannon that has a theoretical maximum reach of 900km. The target must however be significantly closer than 900km in order to maintain the effectiveness of the weapon.
