Selenium Heavy Voidgate

undefined

The Selenium is a class of monitor constructed by the Shaltari Tribes. As with the Silicon, the Selenium is not a true naval monitor from its mission profile; however, its many similarities to the class has lead the UCMF to classify it as such. Though the Shaltari are able to make do with conventional Voidgates a majority of the time, those vessels are fragile and all but unarmed, making them easy targets. To guarantee landings amidst heavy enemy resistance, the Shaltari employ heavier vessels like the Selenium.

With a transference capacity akin to that of a conventional Voidgate and weapons designed to fire out of the atmosphere, the Selenium possesses a similar tactical role to the Scourge Lamassu - it can deploy troops while simultaneously defending them from enemies in higher orbital layers. It's significant durability over conventional Voidgates has led the Selenium to be deployed in significant numbers during the Battle for Earth - so much so that more Seleniums have been spotted there than anywhere else.
