Vehicle:Kariidar Orbital Drop Base

This rather... inventive "vehicle" is strange indeed. This massive structure is launched from a Kariidar Crimson Comet when it enters a planet's orbit to initiate an attack. It then freefalls towards the planet, into the atmosphere (they are constructed of the strongest alloys avaliable so they don't burn up), and when it hits the surface the drill-spike burrows in, effectively nailing the base into the planet. The "doors" of the base then open up, allowing Kariidar infantry and land vehicles to pour out. Several of these are launched at a planet at various strategic points on the surface. After the planet's population has been wiped out or conquered, the Kariidar return to their bases. At this point the drill-spike is detached and it takes off, then returns to the Crimson Comet. A new drill-spike is attached and the Orbital Drop Base can then be reused.

The actual practicality of this "vehicle" is up for debate, but it has proved brutally effective.
