Cataphract (Weaponry)

The Cataphract, sometimes referred to as Spearhead, Iron Fist or The Boot, is a weapon used in space combat. It is a large structure comprised of solid metal that is typically mounted onto the bow of a spaceship. The Cataphract earned infamy due to its pivotal role in the Battle of the Forge, where its use by republican forces helped them achieve a pyrrhic victory against the Coalition.
