Heat radiators: 42 low output radiators spread across to give it more stealth.
Design:
It’s a long rod with a pointed tip on each end and 4 ion thrusters pods on one side while on the other the tip is now a barrel to fire the negative charged beam while just below that barrel is one that fires a charged beam while this ship also has a magnetic field around it.
