The Penetrator is a powerful Luxan warship that belongs to the Luxan Commando unit. Small and well armed, the ship specialises in 'hit and run' tactics, typified by the ship's boarding of a Scarran Command Ship during the Peacekeeper/Scarran War. The ship can attach itself with a small tube to the hull of another ship. It then cuts a hole in to the other ship so it can unload its soldiers.

The Penetrator was capable of both space and atmospheric flight. Unlike a transport pod, it could travel for longer distances due to a higher fuel capacity.

Size[]

The exact dimensions of the vessel can only be speculated but it does appear to be capable of holding at least 20 personnel.

Weapons / Defenses[]

Luxan PenetratorBLASTER

The Penetrator was equipped with 2 Heavy Pulse Cannons mounted on each of the wings, which can be rotated to fire upon targets on a planet's surface.

The ship is equipped with a deception shroud that renders it invisible to both scanners and the naked eye and a defensive energy shield. Its cloaking technology was much better than Lo'La's because it was generations more advanced and had no trouble flying next to a Scarran Command Ship without being detected.
