Sala'dine
Admiral of the Ghost Fleet
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Designed by Saotome under the direction of Sala'dine as a means to fire a shot off while cloaked. While not as effective as some launchers it is quiet, using compressed air to propel a warhead and let it travel with enough momentum until its inertia gives way. This could be effective if the target isn't moving but for something that could move out of the way it requires close range... almost point blank to be effective. The cannons themselves aren't that sophisticated and greatly on the low tech method with compressed air that builds up and then releases to fire off one of the warheads. The build up is the important part and requires several minutes to pressurize. The firing speed is also a thing as it isn't using something powerful to launch it. The size of the cannon is important as it isn't large and meant to be spaced for broadsiding attacks. The different warheads that it can launch is also a factor. variable and with basic degrees of movement so the launcher can fire but it doesn't rotate more then a degrees to each side.
One fo the other weapons to be improved upon for stealth weapons and partially a proof of concept design. the stealth launcher is closer now to the Sasori Ur-Didact launcher system with the ability to fabricate its own munitions over time giving it an edge but the delivery method is much different compared to how it has been before. With improved compressed gas yes that uses illerium for a better burst and pop without giving emissions or disrupting the cloak but it still requires a closer ranger then many would like and the missiles are dumb with guidance being much more line of sight then with systems. Sala'dine took care when designing it and looked carefully at a number fo the ships that the jedi and sasori had developed with stealth systems so they would be able to fit this on them.

- Armament Schematics:
- Cloaked Firing: Designed as a simple tube filled with a pocket of compressed air that can propel a warhead out of the tube. No energy build up, no main moving parts that will give away or break the cloaking field. It is not the strongest and the range is laughable as you have to be almost directly on top of them but as a means to surprise or create traps it can be effective.
- Laminanium: Designed to repair stress and from prrolonged use micro fractures. The repairing capabilities are not huge and it takes more time with the longer the bomblet is used.
- Reserves: Designed with tubes of programmable matter that is in molecular disruptors to allow exponentially more matter for constructing warheads in the schematics. Reserves of matter can creates two refills of maximum capacity (IE: 2 extra boron missiles or 8x concussion missiles)
- Pressure Build Up: Designed to fill with compressed air to the point it can fire a warhead fast enough to hit a target. The air can take several minutes to generate and usually makes the shots fired a one and done.
- Range: The dangerously short range serves because of the lack of speed the warheads are propelled at compared to normal shots. The ships need to be practically next to it to not miss or have a large enough target it isn't going to move out of the way if they fire from a few kilometers away.
- Self repairing: While it can repair its own micro stress fractures the capabilities can take days to hours depending on how damaged they become from use.
- Mirrors: To work on it and create the variable sizes of the power components the disruptor mirrors are designed to compress and shrink the components. If they are fractured it would be dangerous and result in more explosive power.
- Reserves: While it is designed to make its own warheads the amount it can make is able to be quickly expended. The smaller reserve bay is made to fit the duplicator and its power source and restoring the missiles can take several minutes which in a fight can be a lifetime.
- Timetable: While it is designed to make more ammo the timetable can be tricky. The more complex the armament the slower it can be with a boron missile taking three hours between fabrication while a concussion missile can take for 1 twenty minutes.
