- Terrifying Payload -
- Where as most rounds are used for instant damage, the 'Hel' round is the reintroduction of a classic ammunition created by Jaeger Solutions for the express purpose of an international tribunal asking 'Why'. Force Dead, capable of acid secretion to eat through most armor and metal, fast reproduction, and a never ending hunger; the Hel Bio Slugs are a dangerous parasite that can put most enemy combatants down in only a few rounds.
- Jaeger Exclusive -
- Without a Jaeger weapon with proper technology there is very little in options other can utilize the 'Salt' rounds with. While the power is still very capable, without something like “The Vora” to utilize it, there isn’t much one could do, creating a very significant drop in accuracy otherwise. Due to a limited amount of Jaeger Products that utilize this technology, this makes the rounds relatively situational unless already deep within Jaeger's capitalist control.
- EMP/Vong Sensitivities -
- The flechette tracking, being computerized, means that without proper faraday caging and grounding - the rounds are suseptable to losing their inbuilt systems. This greatly reduces accuracy, and can tend to leave the shooter lacking in places they rightfully shouldn't be. This also means that Spark Bee Honey, Baffor Pollen, and anything a Vong is allergic to can cause the round to not work as planned.
- Hard Headed -
- While the initial shaped charge helps bust through light forms of armor, the round itself does not carry enough weight nor power to break through heavier set plates. This makes a glaring weakness in the fact that armored personnel, lightly armored vehicles, and more all have the capacity to ignore much of the damage this would be able to do compared to if penetration was involved.
Jaeger Solutions continues pushing forward the limits of war based technologies, and in this they seek another
continued expansion. This day, they seek to kill through rapid parasitic breeding, and to do this they miniaturized another product they have had resounding success with. Where they had success with the RB-02, they invented the same platform - only changed the payload from the Cobalt Salt to a proprietary vong formed bio mass; able to spread through a target in a matter of seconds, and consume them from the inside out.
Insert the “Hel”, a round that serves to consume a person from the inside-out, rather than kill them outright. Where as the last iteration of the round created a highly radioactive fallout dust on the inside of its target, the RB-06 releases a vong formed bio mass that rapidly breeds; feeding off the metal, meat, and bone to replicate at an astonishing rate. After it feeds, replicates, and lives its very short life, it will continue on the circle of life until the person they have infested dies; leaving a corpse full of living, wriggling maggot like vong formations that spread out.
Created as the greatest form and function of high velocity nature at work, the Hel-Class bio slug is by far one of the cruelest weapons to ever be conceived for warfare. With acidic mandibles that eat through armor and flesh alike, and an unending hunger that never ceases until death, there is no end to the abhorrent nature that is this round. While many have made ammunition through the history of the galaxy, this specific round is dreaded amongst every aspect of society; from the darkest lords of Nar’Shadda to the highest courts of Alderaan, to witness this in use is to witness an afront to god.
In design, this parasite finds itself set inside a small capsule that holds the nutrients it requires for not only survival, but a specially engineered inertia compensator for the velocity that it is often shot at. This capsule is surrounded with a standard Tanium jacket, but one that is specially crossed in certain areas to allow a premature detention before it hits its target. Using a specialized microprocessor and miniaturized sensor module, the round is able to tell the distance from the target and slow itself enough for the creature inside to survive impact with the target’s exterior. A decent distance from the target, most often halfway to it, the jacketed nature of the round is shred off as shrapnel, with it the capsule itself. This in effect leaves the parasite to witness the world for the first time, exposing it to the air that it finds so very foreign.
At this point, the bio portion of the slug extends small wings that work as initial gliders; assisting in correcting its course should the jacket being shed have disrupted it at any point. In addition, this allows the creature to find its target and prepare for its initial impact. This is however when the Nang Hul portion of its DNA comes into place, allowing it to survive even an extreme force against the target identified. Often times this round is regarded as a ‘heavy hitter’ despite its less than convenient armor piercing capacity, but that is solely because of the inertia that is carried with the arguably heavy parasite.
This being said, the creature is extremely ineffective against anything like a vehicle or personnel carrier; forcing the creature to find its new source of sustenance almost immediately lest it die from its rapid evolution into adulthood. The larvae may not consume much, but the adult is able to starve itself within moments of being exposed to air, the known catalyst for its transformation.
Lastly, should enough rounds be fired at a singular target, and a mating ritual is able to be performed inside one of the muscles, a small cluster of the creatures will be spawned and rapidly deposit themselves in the nearest food source possible. They are able to reproduce within moments, and with oxygen being so plentyful in the body it is too able to form into adulthood instantly aswell. This is however extremely rare to happen, but extremely dangerous should it ever.
In our trying times, Jaeger Solutions abandons short term morality for what should be always the end result. ‘Total War’, a strategy which involves destroying and maiming every sense of security an enemy holds. Instead of a simply blaster round, or bullet shredding muscle, this round will consume a person from the inside out and see them turned into little more than an acidic puddle, the victim of genocidal hunger. To end the conflict quickly is to save lives, and Jaeger Solutions seeks to do just this.
There is no equal.
