Kyulek Capitals

Kyulek Capitals are detected by their signature idle sound, a slow pulsating whir. The Hive is loud enough, it can be heard across the map.

Ktu-Pod
The Ktu-Pod is an intimidating looking ship (Unit). It looks like a floating, demented or demonic head, with it's mouth ready to swallow any of those stupid enough to get close. Out of it's "ears" are two laser cannons, which can fire roughly 270 degrees of radius, the blind spot being to the back. The Ktu-pod has 1500 Hit points, and about 800 shield points. Both Shield and hit points regenerate after a time.

Strategy on dealing with a Ktu-Pod-

The best way to destroy a Ktu-pod with fighters is to figure out which specific fighter it is ttargeting. Have that fighter set to shadow the Ktu-Pod, and command all the other ships to get in from behind, and attack it in it's weapons' blind spot.Alyssian Starchaser M's work well for this tactic.



Arc
The Arc looks like a ramped up Pod with a neck, and a single horn. From both ends, it fires a laser which has 90 degrees of vertical firing, and 180 degrees of X axis firing, assuming it is facig you. It is only in O-R-B Version 1.06 and later, like the Frigates and Conquest ships. The Arc is one of the few capital ships capable of "looking" up and down.

Strategy- come in from behind with a Destroyer class capital, while it is destracted with another ship.

Hive
The Hive is first seen in Alyssian Campaign level one, though the player does not fight it, it is only there for cutseen purposes. Infact, the player never directly attacks the Hive. It appears as an enemy in the Alyssian campaign level 3, Cure for the Plague, but upon attack, Seekers of Ftorrek units begin spawning in, and destroy it instead of you. It also appears in mission 6 during the intro cutseen, and attacks the Malus Starbase in the Frozen Edge Sector. It self-destructs before the player can attack it though. The Hive has 20000 Hit points to the hull, and possibly 8000 (uncomfirmed,) in it's shield. It fires a single laser, but powerdul, with almost 180 degrees of vertical and horizontal movemant. In a custom map, the Debris from a hive can destroy Carrier class and Destroyer class capitals with ease. The Blast will almost guarenteed destroy any fighter that was attacking it.
