- Pressure detonator
- Detonates with a big explosion capable of causing damage to all surrounding it.
- Pressure detonator is unaffected by ion/EMP weapons
- Flechettes are effective against infantry and unarmored vehicles
- Can disable and/or put to sleep targets (depending on the target)
- Damage applies indiscriminately to all personnel and objects surrounding the canister, this includes allies who might be caught in the blast radius.
- The pressure detonator can be triggerred in adverse wind conditions or by telekinetics
- Unguided
- Effectiveness against armored vehicles limited to the ion payload
The Nadiem flechette canister is more than simply an ordinary flechette canister: it is also filled with both sleep gas and ion payloads, so that organics and electronics caught inside the blast radius could be put to sleep and fried respectively. However, given the weight of adding sleep powder and ion payloads to a canister already filled with durasteel flechettes, it made the resulting canister much larger than a standard grenade, with weight to match. In addition, to give it the capability to be used effectively even in null-tech environments, the Nadiem is outfitted with a pressure detonator so that, upon impact, it detonates. However, this means that high winds or Force-users could cause it to detonate. Finally, the flechettes themselves, while effective against infantry and unarmored vehicles, are virtually ineffective against armored vehicles.
Given that it lacks propulsion systems, and is unguided, with the liabilities of such, typical delivery platforms for Nadiems include mass drivers or regular cannons/howitzers of equivalent caliber.
