PRODUCTION INFORMATION​

• Manufacturer: Breshig War Forge Consolidated.
• Affiliation: Breshig War Forge Consolidated and Strill Securities.
• Material: Duranium frame, dallorian alloy coated barrel, Combat De-ionizer, nano missile launcher components, Ultrachrome wiring, circuitry and electronics.

SPECIAL FEATURES​

• Processing and Memory: The system reads in sensor, scanner, tracking and targeting data from the armor that it is integrated into to track incoming ordnance such as missiles, rockets, grenades, mortars and the like. Once tracked, an intercept course is plotted, programmed into the missile and the missile is fired from whichever launcher has the best shot. The system can do this for a total number of targets up to its total number of missiles. Additionally, the system can assign more than one missile to a single target.
  
  • Heuristic Processor
  • Gabonna memory crystal.
• Communications:
  
  • Comm Laser
  • 'Manda' Battlenet Compatible Networking:
• Launcher(s)
  
  • Shoulders (2x, 4-tube built into the shoulder plates)
  • Knees (2x, 2-tube per side): The knee launchers have full rotation and limited elevation and depression.
• Nano missiles:
  
  • Components:
    
    • Depleted Baradium tip
    • Baradium Charge
    • Dedicated Energy Receptor
    • Electro Photoreceptor
    • Comm Laser
  • Guidance:
    • Pre-launch: The missile is programmed with an intercept course by the launcher and then launched.
    • Midcourse: The missile receives midcourse updates from the system via comm laser if necessary.
    • Terminal: The missile uses its on-board systems to track the target and make adjustments if necessary.

STRENGTHS​

• Interception: The system's ability to intercept incoming ordnance is an advantage that cannot be overstated. Ordinarily a user would rely on cover or their own wits to be able to avoid incoming ordnance, possibly or rather ideally, a combination of both.
• Fast: The nano missile interceptors are extremely fast, giving them a very high intercept probability.
• Potent: The baradium explosive component and depleted baradium penetrator do mean that the nano missiles have a chance to neutralize ordnance that are several times their size.

WEAKNESSES​

• Sixteen is the Magic Number: The system has sixteen interceptor missiles, after that, it must be reloaded. This process is tedious to conduct on the battlefield and as a result most soldiers don't tend to carry spares on short term deployments, preferring to carry more ammunition.
• Power: No dedicated power supply is included, the system is designed to be connected into the power supply of whatever armor it is integrated into.

DESCRIPTION​

Among the few things Mandalorians have to really concern themselves about on the battlefield, ordnance is high on that list. In order to counter that threat, the company began developing an infantry scale active protection system. Rather than going with the gun-based approach as other products on the market had taken, the company decided to take a missile-based approach, almost appropriately so given the stereotypical Mandalorian fascination with missiles. Rocket darts and micro missiles were considered before nano missiles were settled on. The Kyr'dir, translating into "to stop something abruptly" in galactic standard basic, is the system that would eventually be adopted. ​

​

The system is integrated into armor, with launchers being built into the shoulder plates and on both sides of the knee plates. Rather than packing its own sensor, scanner, targeting and tracking suite, it relies on that of the armor it is mounted into. The system tracks incoming ordnance such as missiles, rockets, grenades, mortars and the like. Once tracked, an intercept course is plotted, programmed into the missile and the missile is fired from whichever launcher has the best shot. The system can do this for a total number of targets up to its total number of missiles. Additionally, the system can assign more than one missile to a single target.​

​

The system has sixteen interceptor missiles, after that, it must be reloaded. This process is tedious to conduct on the battlefield and as a result most soldiers don't tend to carry spares on short term deployments, preferring to carry more ammunition. The system also lacks a dedicated power supply, instead being designed to be connected into the power supply of whatever armor it is integrated into. ​
