Carrier

Lorako start out as an Egg, then hatch into a Skit, or alternatively are birthed live via the primary set of reproductive organs, then develop into a Landrunner, then begin to float via Antigravity as a Skygod, then finally FTL jump via their Flicker Drive into orbit as the first ship form, a Frigate.

After the relatively unspecialized Frigate form, they specialize and grow into a Carrier form.

A Carrier is a usually highly specialized and very large spacefaring form of Lorako, with a very high degree of Polymorphism and often dramatic Metamorphosis to produce the new form.

Carriers are fairly mobile, using their Antigravity projected as a field from their Lorako Core for propulsion, and can reach quite high speeds even without FTL jumps via Flicker Drive.

Carriers will eventually latch onto their own Tailflowers and continue growing into a more floral and dendritic form until they transform into a potentially even more specialized, massive yet immobile Station form. Station Lorako are unable to move without using FTL to do so.
