to the ship safely for repair. The Roc gives new meaning to the word "utalitarian"; much of the craft doesn't even have a skin, leaving
the ZPEX and power conversion tower open to space. Although technically capable of atmospheric flight, the Roc is not at all at home
in a planetary atmosphere and only a brave or foolish pilot would try it.
There are four midspace shunts in tandem pairs; although this type of engine configuration is poor in terms of efficiency, speed,
and agility, it does allow opposed fields to be balanced against one another. This lets the Roc hold its position precisely in
midspace, vital for its recovery mission. To capture damaged fighters the Roc has two large extendable arms, while a pair of grapples
holds them in place once captured.
The Roc has a crew of four; a pilot and navigator sit up front, with a sensor system operator behind the navigator. Another station at the
aft of the cockpit module is used to control the arms and grapnels.
