Editing Warspheres (section)

== Functionality and design ==

Design-wise, Warspheres are effectively giant egg-shape spacecraft comprised of various ring-like structures around a center that houses most of the engines and navigation personnel. The size of the ship allows it to be a fully functioning flying town for thousands and thousands of Kroot. The size of these things is ridiculously big, usually surpassing in size to all Tau vessels and most of the [[Imperium]]'s biggest ships. The question of how they can build such massive structures when they don't have any sort of orbital construction facilities is beyond our understanding, and probably just GW not really caring about things as gravity (or maybe they are just going by the Ork theory, which probably makes Earth Caste scientists even more baffled). It also has the neat function of being able to bury itself once landed, and serve as some sort of colonial structure for the Kroot to start colonizing the planet. However, the Warspheres are far from perfect: in regular space, they are very slow and their weaponry is not that effective, due to their power output systems being very primitive. As such, they are relatively vulnerable, due to being a massive target that can't defend itself very well. Kroot won't use these crafts unless they are either paid really well, they are guaranteed their protection with guardian ships or they are in the process of colonising a planet.

Curiously enough, their size and overall shape actually make the Warshpere the [[Hard Science Fiction|most scientifically plausible spaceship out of any faction in WH40k.]] This is because the ship is designed with several rotating rings. As the rings constantly rotate, it creates centrifugal force, allowing the Warsphere to have a cheap and relatively cost-effective artificial gravity. Moreover, its spherical shape makes the ship compact and extremely durable against gravitational stress, which means it could probably handle the Roche limit better than most conventional cigar-shaped vessels we see in Sci-Fi.
