Ever since it's discovery in the Capella system, this ancient starship has proven to be a major thorn in the side to anyone attempting to enter the system. Due to it's habit of destroying all vessels entering the system, Capella has been placed off limits to all craft.
The vessel appears to be based around crystals of unknown make. The main weaponry appears to be a set of crystals mounted in the arms that project lightning at other vessels like something out of a bad sci-fi movie. This is further supported by an array of point defence lasers which intercept projectile weaponry. The purpose of the crystals at the back is unknown, but it is presumed to act as a form of propulsion system. The vessel is defended not only by the aforementioned point-defense lasers, but also by a set of crystals at the front that seem to slow down projectiles, and to top it off, boasts a regenerating energy shield, heavy armour, and some form of self-repair system.

The mysterious group calling themselves the Gharvengei has been raiding the outer systems of our space for a while. Casualties have been very high, and all contact with a ship that has been identified as the Angreb-class dreadnought was among them. Their capabilities have shown themselves at the Battle of Santa Maria just a month ago. The result were disturbing to say the least.

In that battle, a routine patrol was going through the UCS-109 system, exploring it for possible colonization. Three hostile battleship signatures were detected. The patrol quickly warped out and notifed the local garrison at Santa Maria. One Admiral Gaitautas led task force fifteen to remove them. When he entered, three of these Angrebs attacked with very strange weaponry, causing severe losses before Gaitautas' forces managed to get a single shot off. Calling for reinforcements, he attacked further. By the time the elite 'Bulldog' fleet entered the battle, Gaitautas' force had taken up to 65% casualties and had failed to break through the enemies' shielding,which scans report is thickest in front. Gaitautas was ordered to retreat adn the Bulldogs engaged.

The bulldog's forces had taken moderate losses, and Gaitautas's force had been all but neutralized. Full casualty count: 3,577 dead, 2,011 wounded. Twelve ships lost, eight too damaged to recover and scrapped.

Enemy losses unknown, but expected to be low. One enemy vessel moderately damaged. Enemy ships shown to have poor point defenses, but powerful frontal particle shielding to compensate. Both admirals also reported that ships has shocking quality of apparent self-repair in mid-battle. Scientists looking into validity of this claim.
