'''Cleft Thorns''' are the hot-blooded level 240 or so residents of eastern warp-2. They come in teams of four, and battles with them can lead to disastrous results if surrounded. Not only do these [[AI]] hunt in groups, grasping their prey with their [[Tractors|tractor beams]], but they can dish out large amounts of lethal heat damage with a [[Weapons#Heat Weapons|hell fire]] and [[Weapons|great immolation]]. With a fiery temperament, these ships are not to be trifled with.
