Durasteel Reinforced [SIZE=10pt]Alusteel[/SIZE]
Encapsulated Ionite, Shaped Charge
Warhead Components
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Classification: Warhead, Torpedo
Size: Average
Weight: Average
Ammunition Type: Explosive Ordnance
Ammunition Capacity: 1
Reload Speed: Average
Effective Range: Long Range
Rate of Fire: Average
Stopping Power: Very High
Sensor guided for effective targeting.
Built to take out electrical systems within large capital ships.
May be more devastating if unleashed on smaller capital ships.
Shaped charge, for additional ‘heat’ damage against unshielded targets.
Trilamnium[SIZE=10pt] for additional resistance to traditional [/SIZE]turbolaser/plasma type weaponry.
Ionite: Designed to interfere with energy fields such as deflector shields. Any electrical device within its proximity becomes voided and ruined.
Splash: Due to the shaped charge, Maquis creates additional splash damage upon impact.
Area of Effect: Creates an area of effect on impact/detonation and may affect enemy ships.
Interception: While able to deliver a brutal impact, the torpedo itself moves slow enough to be intercepted by starfighters, and turbolasers.
Conventional Shielding: Particle [SIZE=10pt]shielding,[/SIZE] or conventional shielding with particle shielding built in do particularly well against the torpedo.
Area of Effect: Creates an area of effect on impact/detonation and may affect friendly ships as well.
The Maquis-type Advanced Ion Torpedo was designed to interfere with [SIZE=10pt]energy[/SIZE] field such as deflector shields, and with any electrical devices that is within the proximity of detonation. Designed with a shaped charge, made so that it focuses most of the explosive energy in a small area, usually a cone shape. This enables the ionite to be delivered more effectively to target areas. However because it is encapsulated, this does make the torpedo vulnerable to being intercepted, or shot down prior to reaching target.
Conventional shielding also does well against the Maquis, particle shielding is most effective at defending against the torpedo. Those without may end up bearing the [SIZE=10pt]ordanance’s[/SIZE] devastating results. Whether detonated prematurely or on target. The torpedo has an area of effect intended to interfere with energy fields or void/ruin electrical devices.
