Many different avenues of attack against the Bydo were researched by the Space Corps in efforts to increase their effectiveness. Since the Bydo were mostly biological, the Corps started development on R-craft that emphasized fire attacks. Thus, the Principalities was created. Engineers took the chassis of the R-9AX2 Dinner Bell and completely removed the armor to improve heat venting, especially in the the vacuum of space. Nearly every aspect of this craft was built around literal firepower, creating a strong, very specialized craft.
