Y.E.T.I. Corporate HVAs

[Hackjob]

The Y.E.T.I. corporation has many interests and investments in and outside of Senacus system. To support and protect these assets, Y.E.T.I. Shipyards has a well-equipped fleet in operation at all times. In addition, YS conducts much covert research and development in the dense asteroid belts. This research is critical in keeping Y.E.T.I. competitive in the cutthroat military-industrial trade.

Some say Y.E.T.I. goes too far and point to the "Peacemaker" orbital platform. When unvieled, this massive satellite orbiting a private moon first carved the Y.E.T.I. Shipyards logo in meter tall letters while a technician stood nearby, then vaporised a designated frame and burned a 10x10 meter trench over a kilometer long visible from space. Y.E.T.I. says the weapon is a deterrent and unlikley to ever see combat. But pundits think this prompted many previously peaceful Free Colony sympathisers and Ijad tribes to take up arms.

Builders notes: The Experimental Drive test ship is pretty self explanitory, piloted by a skeleton crew in radiation suits. The bionacle bit is the engine core and would be covered by the hull in a mass production version.
The Orbital Mega Laser is almost ther size of a small space station, with a permanent crew of technicians and scientists. The satellite is powered by a nuclear reactor, but the weapon draws so much power it requires the massive solar panels to recharge between shots. The panels are retractable/foldable down to the size of a 2x3 brick during movement or to protect them from asteroid showers or whatever. Probably really make a better set piece than HVA, since it's big and top heavy, but I had to have a doomsday device to fight over! C+C welcome.
