[SIZE=14.6667px]Description:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]The KE-2 Nuriel is a countermeasure designed to neutralize directed energy attacks (DEW) like (true) lasers and particle bolts. The system consists of a canister created from a lightweight shell of agrinium, topped with an outer shell of reinforced duraplast to harden the munition against electronic attack and EMP/ion energy during flight. The canister itself contains a mixture of anti-beam aerosol harvested from Fire Breathers (sourced from [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Panacea[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]), and shavings of sleg. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Upon detonation, the canister deploys its contents as a large cloud. Incoming DEW attacks that pass through the cloud are initially dissipated by the aerosol. The volatile sleg shavings within the cloud absorb this energy, then detonate as an explosion that transforms gas cloud into a defensive screen of energy that lasts for a few seconds. During this time, the screen is effective at blocking or weakening passing DEW attacks by extreme blooming. Small vessels passing through the energy screen, like starfighters, risk being damaged or destroyed. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]The Nuriel can be fired in shell form from artillery with an optional sabot or armature (for rail guns) if needed. It can also be loaded as a missile warhead so that it can be fired from portable launchers like a [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]PLX-1[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px], or vehicle launchers such as a [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Flex Tube[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px].
