STRENGTHS
- | Wanton Destruction | When a situation calls for randomized and indiscriminate carnage, the Entropy system is capable of delivering all that and more when paired with beam laser artillery and weapons. It is able to spread destruction traditionally restricted to a direct line of sight over a wider and larger area, effectively extending weapon ranges and hitting targets that might be obscured by terrain or cover by refracting laser beams.
- | Sword and Shield | The Entropy System can be used in both an offensive and defensive capacity, being able to refract lasers and disperse them across a larger area. Its offensive purposes are rather self-explanatory, but it functions in a defensive capacity in a similar fashion to anti-missile flares, drawing a laser-based attack to it and refracting it back in the general direction of its origin if ordered to position itself properly.
- | Carnage | The Entropy Laser Artillery system is as its name indicates, chaotic and unfocused. While it gets the message of wanton destruction across quite clearly, it is indiscriminate in its targets. It can hit any target within a target area, regardless of friend or foe and lacks the precision to be used in conjunction with friendly forces charging. In other words, used to raze a target area before a charge or assault, not during or with an attack.
- | Disruption | While a difficult target to hit with conventional weapons the Entropy System can be neutralized via several means. The most potent is through the use of Ion or EMP disruption which will cause any reflector units to be rendered useless and fall out of the air. The other is simply by shooting them with weapons capable of reaching them, which is moderately more difficult to do without a skilled marksman.
DESCRIPTION
The KVX-626 'Entropy' Laser Refraction System is an experimental form of artillery being tested by the Sith Empire. The concept was a rapidly deployable form of artillery capable of laying out wanton and randomized destruction over a targeted area by deploying a series of missiles that released a drone into the air capable of refracting and redirecting a powerful laser beam. The rapid deployment of the Entropy System can be done from any conventional rapid-fire missile platform, with larger missiles being able to carry multiple drones at once.
Each unit of the Entropy System is equipped with deployable propellors, allowing the unit to stay in the air and function as a refraction point for lasers. Micro thrusters integrated into the head allow for the unit to move and adjust positions. The reflector field redirects any laser weapon projected in its direction, allowing for laser artillery that might have their target obscured to be hit from above. Its destructive capabilities are reliant on the source of the laser being projected, with laser artillery similar to that of Self Propelled Heavy Artillery being extremely powerful.
The Entropy System is effective in softening up stationary and entrenched targets or incoming enemy forces as it lays out a 'death zone' that will create a field whilst also doubling the effective range of laser artillery. Anything that comes within the Entropy System's zone of effectiveness is essentially at the mercy of its chaotic nature. The implementation of targeting beacons on each of the deployed Entropy units allows for friendly forces to target them with laser weaponry for precise deployment of chaos. Likewise, the targeting beacons can interfere with enemy targeting computers and be mistaken for something like a vessel or large target, being able to draw the attention of any laser-firing weaponry (Similar to that of anti-missile flares) and summarily reflecting it back.
Recent modifications to the Entropy system have allowed for it to be used in a defensive capacity, much like a protective screen to redirect the lasers fired at it back at the enemy in an exponentially more chaotic and destructive manner. The usage of the Entropy system in a defensive capacity is significantly much more versatile.
