LeechCraft
itemSmall fast assault shuttles for boarding enemy starships. Carry Obsidians, Golds, and Grays to seize vital internal sections.
In the Red Rising Saga, LeechCraft emerge as nimble, predatory assault shuttles designed for brutal ship-to-ship boarding actions, first introduced in Golden Son as sleek carriers for elite Obsidian, Gold, and Gray shock troops to seize enemy vessels from within. By Morning Star, they evolve into rugged, ugly metal behemoths packing 50 boarders, equipped with hull-melting capabilities to force their way inside, underscoring the escalating savagery of interstellar warfare. This progression mirrors the Society's shift from precision strikes to desperate, scorched-earth tactics amid the Rising's chaos.
