Rampart
| Although automated machines of war were forbidden in core Domain space, war drones were quietly employed outside of officially incorporated volume. Frontier garrisons were often bolstered by drone ships, and they were deployed liberally against rebellious worlds to tip the terrible balance of attrition, setting the industrial might of the Domain versus the lives of 'freedom fighters'. | ||
–In-game description | ||
| Little more than an artillery platform with engines, the Rampart was attached to drone units to provide the heavy firepower necessary to meet cruiser and capital class hulls in the line of combat or to crack armored orbital fortresses. In either role, heavy losses were anticipated, so the Rampart was designed with highly modular components which allowed badly damaged hulls to be rapidly cannibalized to repair lightly damaged hulls up to combat capacity without the need for shipyard facilities. | ||

Tips and strategies
The following section contains user-submitted suggestions, these may be inaccurate or outdated.
The Rampart is largely considered to be one of the only Derelict Drone ships to pose a viable threat, or a useful asset to a fleet. It's armor and hull integrity are fairly comparable to a Dominator Heavy Cruiser, at a drastically reduced deployment and recovery cost and at slightly higher speeds.
At 15 deployment points, and with three Large mounts, it is truly representative of its description: A big, dumb brick of armor with big, heavy guns meant to smash what is in front of it or die trying, be patched up with duct tape, and sent out again.
