The Brute Ramship is a heavily built escort ship, with an estimated 80% of the ship being solid mass. The prow contains a ramming 'beak' of solid adamantium, these ships have been built specifically for ramming though they do contain a gun battery as well.
The Brute is a curious vessel and characteristically Orkish in its concept. It is fitted with superior engines and maneuvering thrusters, compared with most Ork vessels, but these are not intended to make the ship handier in a fight. The true purpose of the Brute is betrayed by its armored beak, festooned with rotary blades and drills, which is deadly when it rams enemy vessels at maximum thrust. In combat, Brutes maneuver to try to reach a position where they can charge an enemy ship and burst it apart with a single impact. The Brute is so heavily built that it can badly damage even a Capital ship.
