Description:
The Vapor Warhead is a rather simple invasion, intended to help with the dispersal of toxins and chemicals into a battlefield. A starfighter/bomber/interceptor or capital ship just heads down to the planet, locks it's target, and shoots a missile at a planetary battlefield. Once dropped the missile then disperses gas to it's sides, effectively pumping gas into a 100 meter radius(400 meter radius for heavy warhead version). Naturally the closer one is to the missile the more gas one will be exposed to, and usage of air filters/environment suits can seriously reduce, if not flat out remove, the effectiveness of the toxin. Additionally the missile can be intercepted before landing, as destruction will prevent the toxins from spreading, though blanket a small area(10ish meter diameter on normal, 35ish diamter on heavy, reduced effectivness as the missile is intercepted farther and farther away from the ground) in it's contained toxin. Commonly used Toxins are Coma Gas, Spice Gas, Poison Gas, Stun Gas, and Ixeltal Cilona. Though PharmaTech is working to gain access to more potent and lethal gasses for distribution it needs to set up mining and trade operations(dev threads) in order to acquire the necessary chemicals.
