[b]Scuttling[/b]
 After the Hach recovery crews left, small squads of OGVS units were sent onto the Marku-Class after it was brought into orbit. Any useful tech was stripped; Sazkarjhit technology would be returned to the SCNOSE, and anything else would be contained for study. This included the flash pods, something that had been of Sazkarjhit design but was never put into production.

Seeing how the ship was old, battered, and not worth the time to fix, the Barkola Shipyard (The shipyard responsible for constructing the Marku and Pulsar-Class ships) sent to the Assault Fleet that they agreed to have the ship scuttled. [i]Barasia[/i] moved above the ship, angling itself with the planet and raising arms. A volley of 20 magnetic shells rained down upon the Marku. One of them managed to pierce its alloyed hide and reach the reactor, causing the ship to explode in a brilliant fireball and sending hull fragments in all directions. An A-Class shield ship quickly maneuvered in front of [i]Barasia[/i], deflecting any debris that came in its way with a large energy projection field.
 
After this, the ships returned to tracing radar trails from the Pirates, and warped out of the system.

Oxygen Capsule: Completed ((See latest OOC post)) Capsule causes an extreme physiological change in Sazkarjhians. Changes internal chemistry and allows for them to breathe oxygen. To be used on diplomatic missions and to be given to outersystem vagabonds, 
Charge-Down Coilgun: New research project. This optimizes the current coilgun on ships by allowing shots to be loaded and fired while the magnetic field generator is powering down after a shot. Each one will be less powerful than the last, but it still allows a heavy amount of fire. Development: 2%
