The Disruptor-class Soban Baserunner is designed by Kiith Soban for utility support roles. They never took part of Operation Khadim but possibly played a role is the defence of Tiir against the Gaalsien invasion.

Lore

The Soban baserunner is a modified variant of the coalition baserunner but largely features many of the same abilities. The anterior is modified with the driver's cabin on the other flank of the vehicle.

Multiplayer

Soban baserunners most notably replace the ability to deploy turrets with a targeting jammer. Overall, targeting jammers see little opportunities of use in multiplayer matches, but can prove to be useful if the baserunners are in position to disrupt a group of enemy ships during a firefight, and they can even neutralize a microwave emitter. They disable the weapons and reduce sensor vision of all ships, including friendly ones in a moderate area. The targeting jammer itself does not provide any sensor information. The targeting jammer and the AA turret do not share the same cooldown.

Aside from the targeting jammer, all other capabilites are identical to the coalition variant. They play the same role when it comes to scouting with drones, artifact collection and deploying AA turrets.
