Specifications
The Collector cruiser is similar in mass to the cruisers of other Mass Effect races, as the scan operator of the SSV Normandy quickly classed it as a cruiser, despite its unfamiliar configuration.
The Collector cruiser's hull appears to have been built from an asteroid, as large portions of it appear to be natural rock. The basic shape of the ship is a tube, with engines on one end and an enormous weapon port on the other. Much of the ship's interior is a hollow cavern lined with the pods that the Collectors use for transporting captured colonists. Floating platforms allow rapid transport within this space.
The ship's only known weapon is a powerful beam weapon that has a forward firing arc. This weapon was powerful enough to cripple the SSV Normandy with just a couple of hits. It's not clear whether the beam is a directed-energy weapon or some type of mass accelerator, similar to Reaper weapons or the Thanix cannon. The ship's defenses are not as well known; it does not appear to be armored, and there is no evidence of barrier defenses or point-defense weapons. Overall, the ship seems to be designed more as a transport than a warship, despite its powerful weaponry.
The Collector cruiser has a mass effect drive core and a Reaper IFF system that allows it to safely use the Omega 4 mass relay.
The sensor systems of the Collector cruiser are advanced enough to overcome the experimental stealth technology developed by the Systems Alliance.
