- First encounter
- World 6 · Level 90
A small Thaevrek cryogenic interceptor: dark keel, white chevron armour, a frost-glass core inside a miniature cooling halo with four clear-ice fins. The Cryo Saucer launches them in pairs to pressure you directly.
ARMAMENT
- 01Frost NeedleThe emitter, core and halo charge, then the drone dives at your lane firing three cryo needles. Direct damage only.
- 02Ramming runA drone that reaches your ship in its dive hits you.
BEHAVIOUR
- 01Bay launchLifts out of an aft bay with its fins folded, unfolds and breaks away. Several fly at once; each is its own VECTOR target.
- 02Crossing packDrones weave in their own height lanes; their paths cross and the pack tightens from time to time.
- 03FragileNo shield. The core flashes, the frost glass fractures and the fins tumble away. The saucer's breakup takes them with it.
TACTICAL
Wait for two drones to cross one column above you, then VECTOR: both are destroyed — the Level 90 VECTOR star.
SYSTEMS
- 01Frost Needle emitterThe forward emitter between two dark prongs; it charges and recoils with every needle.
- 02CoreA cold core in a frost-glass capsule: the charge source and the drone's weak point.
- 03Cooling halo · FinsA miniature cooling ring carrying four clear-ice control fins; they fold for docking and flex in the turns.
- 04Twin thrustersTwo gimballed tail thrusters with cyan-white exhaust.
ORDNANCE
- 01Frost NeedleA slim cryo bolt fired in bursts of three. Direct damage only.
