[edit]
Barb Pod
All we did here was make a small change to the growth processes for the quills that arm this pod, altering their final shape to include several sharp serrations and hooks, preventing any possible clean removal of the barb from the afflicted ship as well as providing additional damage infliction. What was not anticipated was the increased rate of fire, but all the better, really.
