Description/Overview:
          Like most of the data on the Prodono Imperial spacecraft, very little to nothing is know about the Prodono Empire or the history of the Lurveth Throm Type-228159 outside of the capabilities, weapons, armor, and systems of the ships encountered during the Outer Sphere War that were used by Dr. Donaldson's Special Operations Group. Of particular note with regard to this variant of the Lurveth Throm are its rotary MASER cannon turrets. These turrets were a shock to even Donaldson's forces due to the fact of just how powerful they are. They are variable-power and so can be reduced to 10% total power output (reducing damage and range to just 10% of full) which allowed the rotary turret to fire ten-times as many blasts and hit mecha-sized targets. At full power, the rate is normal, but the beams are not capable of locking onto small, fast, mecha due to the beam-creation-time (about 2 seconds) for each beam. That small two-second delay allows small, mecha-sized craft, the ability to change course and dodge the beams easily.
