Experimental Inter-Planetary Subluminal Missile
Abbadon
Description
XISM-Abbadon is a satellite-launched inter-plantery subluminal missile (SLISM) equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV). The missile is designed to strike targets on other planets located within short Class 1 Hyperspace distances. Effectively allowing the One Sith to tactically strike targets on invasion or attack designated planets before the main battlefield force of the One Sith arrives at the attack location. The missile would require its own satellite cannon to be fired from as the missile itself is comparable to the size of IRL Saturn-I Rocket (but just about smaller early estimations place it at 23m in hieght and 6.52m in width)
Technical Readout
MIRVThe Abbadon utilizes a MIRV-system. Meaning that within the outer casing of the first stage of the missile is a series of Multiple Reentry Vehicles (MRV) which house conventional air-to-surface ballistic missiles. Which generates a wide range of scattered missile storm. In other words, when the Abbadon reaches the atmosphere of the target world it jettisons its outer casing, and along with a protective scattering of chaff to repel electronic counter-measures, the various MRV's are released and they themselves release a cluster of ballistic missiles which ignite in mid-atmosphere and blast off to their assigned targets.
Subluminal Flight System
What is unique about the Abbadon is as a missile it carries its own hyperdrive module found towards the base of the rocket. In the same way a Class 1 Hyperdrive can be fitted into a small vehicle like an X-Wing (which in dimensions is similar to the Abbadon), a hyperdrive is fitted to the back module of the Abbadon. This allows the missile to travel short-starfighter hyperspace distances effectively allowing to be launched from other worlds. Once the missile reaches its target world the hyperdriver module breaks from the main rocket before it falls into the target planets atmosphere and a pre-programmed computer re-calculates a new jump vector and the rocket portion that holds the module jumps to a "pick-up zone", or PL, to be picked up and fitted to another Abbadon Missile.
MIRV IRL, but for us substitute surface to outer space/atmosphere of a target planet for 1-4). Around steps 5/6 the Hyperdrive module will separate and leave, and the MIRV system initiates in planet's lower atmosphere around 7/8
Special Note:
As a special side note, this missile cannot "end worlds". Its payloads are not nukes. But what it can do is decimate a collection of wide range of targets from another launch-planet effectively destroying a planet's defense systems before a main force arrives in the form of an invasion fleet/ground-invasion force.
