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.
The Collector cruisers 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.
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.
