- Integrated targeting system and electrorangefinder calculate distance from the target and activate particle collider when in optimal detonation zone.
- Particle Collider creates a micro black hole when detonated.
- Micro black hole remains stable for twenty to forty-five seconds before imploding due to Hawking radiation.
- Implosion creates a particle explosion that can inflict further damage on nearby vessels.
- Impervium exterior plating reinforced by a duranium chassis and a shield generator.
- Power of the Black Hole: The black hole created by the Primordial is no joke; although it is small, it has the potential to rip ships apart and tear hulls from their rivets to be sucked into the singularity. This micro black hole only exists for up to forty-five seconds, on which it then explodes in a particle explosion that is equally deadly.
- Feed the Void: The more material that the singularity consumes, the more powerful the particle explosion created by its decay is as a result.
- Well-Defended: The missile is an extremely hard target to eliminate, due to the fact that it both has a very strong body consisting of impervium plating reinforced by a duranium chassis, along with its own shield generator that inhibits the effectiveness of point-defense systems against it.
- Micro Void: The Primordial creates a small black hole that is incapable of sustaining itself for more than forty-five seconds, limiting the amount of damage it can inflict on enemies.
- Death does not Distinguish: The black hole created by the Primordial has no feasible way of distinguishing friend from foe, so use of the missile runs of the risk of friendly ships caught in the gravity well and singularity -- particularly small craft such as starfighters.
- Cost Incurred: Transporting the Primordial comes at great risk to an accidental explosion tearing a ship apart from the inside. Similarly, a missile loss due to malfunction or point-defense is an extreme economical and strategical loss.
- Large Missile: The Primordial is extremely large and heavy ordnance that requires the proper equipment and size of both ship and launcher to feasibly store and launch the missile.
- Dud: If the electrorangefinder is completely prevented from calculating the range between the target and missile, it will not be able to trigger the particle collider of the Primordial and as a result, the missile will crash harmlessly against the ship.
The Primordial. The most powerful, the most dangerous, and the most innovative weapon that has been introduced by Roble Manufacturing to the galaxy yet.
The M20 Primordial Gravitational Void Missile is the first of its kind, extremely large ordnance that uses the unconventional resource of gravity -- more specifically, a micro-black hole -- to deal extreme amounts of damage against virtually anything. At the core of the weapon is an RGT-BH5 Erebus Particle Collider, with its energy output manually set at the highest possible setting and the density setting at the smallest possible to create a powerful black hole upon the collision of the neuranium particles fired in the collider.
Within the missile is an RM-TAR8 Astraea Integrated Targeting Package along with an Electrorangefinder, which calculates the distance between the missile and it's intended target. When the missile has reached the 'optimal detonation zone,' an area between ten and twenty-five meters away from a target's surface, the particle collider is activated and the black hole is created. The black hole created completely destroys the missile and exists from anywhere between twenty to forty-five seconds, depending on the size of the hole created. It is not an exact science, so yields vary between each missile detonation.
The black hole will exist in that space for the approximate amount of time, remaining relatively stationary. During this time, objects are sucked into the singularity -- which is only a meter or so in diameter -- meaning that although a black hole created does not have the sufficient means to fully envelop a ship, the intense gravitational pull of the singularity is still enough to have the capability of ripping apart hulls and tearing ships apart as they are pulled unevenly towards the singularity. However, due to the small size, the singularity decays fast, and after usually a maximum of forty-five seconds (although most detonations yield a black hole that rarely remains stable for that long) the black hole will detonate into a particle explosion due to Hawking radiation. The damage inflicted by this particle explosion is dependent on how much matter and material have been consumed by the singularity; the more material, the more particles are expended when the black hole expires.
Each missile is very valuable, very deadly, and very important to ensure that it detonates in the right area. Transportation alone runs a number of risks, the most foremost being the missile being triggered and a black hole detonating in the middle of a ship, a possibility that would result in the destruction of the ship. Each missile is also extremely expensive to produce, and so a missile lost to malfunction or point-defense-fire is both an extremely tactical and economical tragedy. With that in mind, the Primordial is constructed to be possibly one of the hardiest missiles on the market -- not only does it have exterior impervium plating reinforced by a duranium chassis, but it contains an inbuilt shield generator that allows it to take multiple hits from point-defense systems without faltering.
Another risk incurred by the use of the missile is the fact that the black hole unleashed can do damage to nearby friendly ships in the vicinity, especially small craft such as starfighters. There is no way for the black hole to distinguish friend from foe, so the use of the missile must be wise so as to not cause damage against one's own fleet.
Altogether, the missile is destined to be one of the most powerful and dangerous weapons to be ever used in naval combat, harnessing the power of a phenomenon that some would say is best left untouched. It is the power of the void, it is the power of the singularity, and it bears a destructive power from a source never before used. It is the standard that will usher in a new era of weaponry and combat.
It is the Primordial.
