STANDARD FEATURES

• Neuranium Core with Unstable coaxium nucleus
• Magnetized Infinium 01458 core mantle
• Iadrium Charged Secondary charge
• Noxinium B Ignition fluid - Primary charge
• Ersteel 145 jacket
• Fyrirdögun tip
• Miniature magnetic field generator

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Versatile payload delivery: While the Warpstar Warhead can be utilized on its own as a shell for kinetic artillery, in this case it can only be used by weaponry that have at the very least battlefield range and is of itself very heavy to prevent the machinery from simply being blown to smithereens by the heavy pushback these warheads create. However, they can also be attached to standard, heavy duty torpedo frames or missile frames for a wide range of places to use these extremely powerful warheads in.
• Gravitational effect: While in and of itself the warhead nor its triggering would effectively cause any long term or high powered gravitational shifts, they can disturb natural and synthetic gravity wells such as Interdictors and articial gravity systems of ships as part of it's extremely powerful concussive power.

STRENGTHS

• Very high heat: This weapon has a heatsignature equal to or even superior in comparison to most main line Incendiary weaponry, but rather than simply burn or explode, the collapsing of the Infinium onto the Neuranium core causes the unstable coaxium to implode violently upon itself, thus causing the neuranium core and infinium mantle to burst out with such violence that whatever explosion that would normally occur is already done before the actual flash of the warhead's detonation is visible, releasing in truth only an insanely high heatwave combined with an unnaturally dense and gravitational shockwave.
• Gravitational shockwave: While it isn't exactly of such magnitude that it could overrule large gravitational forces, the shockwave itself is strong enough to rip metal off of ships, to crack and shatter the toughest walls and foundations of buildings and desintegrate solid and liquid state materials to their most basic, atomic building blocks. It is in essence only capable of asserting this influence with a direct hit though, with the heatwave being a much farther travelling effect.
• High Radiation: The Coaxium implosion and the destabilization of both the infinium and the neuranium result in a very harmful and highly toxic wave of radation particles occuring after the secondary explosion.

WEAKNESSES

• Very Heavy: Due to it's size and weight, the Warp Star, Type Red warhead is not suitable for small ships or small cannons, requiring machinery that in and of itself is already very heavy and thus limiting the amount any ship, artillery canon or transport can carry to the absolute minimum.
• Fallout: While this warhead can be considered extremely useful and powerful, the resulting radiation of this weapon can cause fruitful places to become barren, it can strip the very life away from its targets and linger for decades, which may be more harmful to the user's goals than it would do them good.
• Gravitational shockwave: While it is highly unlikely the shockwave may cause friendly fire, due to its shortrange nature, the effect could still mess with electronics and machinery too close to the blast, thus it is mandatory to utilize weaponry with Battlefield or higher rating for range when using this warhead.

DESCRIPTION
In times of war, the greatest weapons are created, such is also the case for the Warp Star warhead, which is to be considered a new line of ordinance that could very well change the very nature of warfare. Designed in house at EnSol on Mygeeto, the Warp Star warhead found its first theoretical designs on the table of those who had already designed such things as the massive Damocles and Apollyon canons for the company's line up, old, but brilliant engineers, designers and quantum mechanics came together to bring theory into reality, with the practical mandate that it should have been possible to create gradiations of these weapons, with the Warp Star Type Red Warhead being the first to be publicised and the weakest of the bunch.

The Warp Star is designed to take full effect of a serial charge, a forced collapse of heavy metals onto an highly unstable nucleus of raw material, which would result in a near simultaneous implosion and explosion. This would result in a heatwave that could travel for miles, a shockwave that would be visible with the naked eye at around ten to fifteen meters around the epicenter of the detonation and sadly also radiation fallout as a result of using the infinium.

The first test was done in secret within the Empire of the Lost's Territory, allowing for those of the empire to see with their own eyes the choice they had made to partner up with the N&Z Umbrella Corporation and the power and aptitude the company's engineers of war could display when given both unlimited support and finances...

Cool sub as usual!
