Holks are a type of capital ship in the service of the Banished.[1]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
Holks are enormous warships similar in nature to the more common dreadnoughts in the Banished fleet. However, unlike dreadnoughts, they are optimised entirely for space warfare and destroying enemy warships. They are heavily armed, including a heavy plasma lance.[1]
Operational history[edit]
Holks were a major part of the 1,328-strong Banished armada organised under War Chief Severan in late 2559, alongside dreadnoughts, karves, and skeids. They were used as part of the War Chief's mass assault on Earth on December 12 of that year,[1] as well as during the Battle of Boundary two days later.[2]
Trivia[edit]
Hulks were a type of sailing ship used in the Medieval era, following a precedent set with other Banished and Sangheili ships for naming their vessels in a similar manner.
