It's a giant flying bomb with some disposable missile launchers and four modified SRBM bodies mated to the only truly dangerous explosive device the Material Defenders have, which are then bolted into place on a heavily stripped down and modified carrier hull and wired up to stripped down fire control system on an equally stripped down bridge. 100 meters compared to the usual 32 and that's only because there had to be space for the FTL. It's not two cargo containers either.
It's eight containers of mining explosives and blocks of melted down and moulded missile warhead explosives wired into the impact detonator built into the bridge. A battleship it is not, the Material Defenders entire battle formation is built around protecting this thing long enough to launch the missiles then move into position to ram into the Solaris and bring the entirety of Fortress Dagger crashing into the lava.
