	This is a Colossus hull modified by the militant faithful of the Luddic Path into a fearsome strike-cruiser. The cargo decks are collapsed and re-welded to greatly thicken the effective armor of the hull while additional turrets have been planted along the hull. At the bow, a large weapon mount capable of launching spreads of Hammer-class torpedoes has been permanently affixed. The standard engines and power grid have been haphazardly modified to allow for short overpowered burns in combat conditions, causing a massive loss of overall systems reliability. The Colossus heavy freighter formed the core of Domain frontier supply fleets before it was outmatched by the brutal economic efficiency of the Atlas superfreighter. Thicker than strictly necessary hull plating provides protection against cosmic hazards both natural and human.
–In-game description

A Colossus modified by the Luddic Path into a ship of war, the Cruiser-sized Colossus Mk.II'-class Modified Freighter now sports multiple ballistic mounts and an in-built Hammer Barrage where most of its cargo bay once stood.

Overview

Though once a civilian ship, the Colossus Mk.II has been converted into a weapon of war by the faithful of the Luddic Path, though elements of its civilian past still shines in its Civilian-grade Hull.

The Mk.II still retains the 4 original Small Ballistic turrets of the original, while also adding several more Small Ballistic turrets; 2 turrets (160°) covers the front, 4 turrets cover the frontal corners (the external turrets with 200° rotation, and the internal turrets with 170° rotation), and 2 turrets (130°) have been added to the sides. The Mk.II also sports an integrated Hammer Barrage Large Missile hardpoint at the very front of the ship to deliver Ludd's Hammers against the Path's enemies.

The Mk.II retains its original shield system with 150° of protection, while its original ship system has instead been gutted to improve the ship's engines with Burn Drive, letting the Mk.II enter battle even sooner.

Acquistion

The Colossus Mk.II can commonly be found amongst Luddic Path fleets, and sold within their markets.
