ACS-604 Variable Warhead Series
Image Source: Not Applicable
Intent: To create a neat set of missiles
Development Thread: As Needed
Manufacturer: ArmaTech Combat Systems
Model: Mk1
Affiliation: Mandalorians, Techno Union
Modularity: Yes (Modular Warheads)
Production: Mass
Material: Duraplast, Sensor Equipment, Targeting Equipment, Missile Components
Classification: Warhead
Size: Ship Mounted
Length:
Ammunition Capacity: One
Effective Range: Equivalent to Warhead or Assault Warhead
Rate of Fire: Equivalent to Warhead or Assault Warhead
Special Features:
Cluster Warhead
The Cluster warhead is simple. Rather than conventional warheads a cluster missile contains numerous smaller missiles that are deployed at close range and are able to independently target enemy fighters or ships. They are deployed with the intention of overloading countermeasures in order to deliver some smaller explosives to a capital ship or Starfighter group where as a single explosive might be easily countered. The standard Capital version contains sixteen small missiles that would normally be found on shoulder fire weapons, whereas the Assault version contains sixteen Starfighter grade missiles. They come in Proton Torpedo and Concussion missile variants.
Napalm Warhead
The Napalm Warhead, a simplistic, atmospheric only, time tested and proven design. It’s a big missile filled with several canisters of a Naplam fuel mixed with an oxidizing agent to make it more difficult to extinguish once ignited as well as burn for extended periods of time. It’s an incendiary so it really only works in atmosphere with oxygen present. The fuel burns at about 1,500 degrees, and clings to just about anything in the effected zone. It will burn for roughly ten minutes without another fuel source present.
In perfect practice the standard variant covers a one hundred meter long cone that is thirty meters at its widest point. The Assault variant contains four times as much fuel and spreads four times the area as the standard, blanketing a two hundred forty meter long cone that is fifty meters at its widest point.
Cyclonic Warhead
The Cyclonic warhead is more complex, used to assault ground based objectives, disrupt fighter swarms, and devastate unshielded ships. The Cyclonic warhead is actually a seismic charge, using a pair of Collapsium gas and liquid Baradium, detonated by a pair of electromagnetic exciter disks to either side of the warhead’s core. Because of this it must operate like a depth charge, going to a preset distance and then detonating the core. Furthermore it features an armed prow casing allowing it to penetrate a planet’s crust to allow it to detonate underground.
This allows it to kick start seismic disturbances, localized earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions assuming there is an active volcano nearby. Due to being detonated below ground, the explosion is significantly smaller, but can cause significant seismic disturbance, depending on the planetoid's crust, able to deal damage to poorly constructed buildings. At most, only slight damage to all other buildings (Roughly a 4.5 Earthquake). Additional missiles are additive to the magnitude of the seismic disturbances. It takes about thirty two missiles to increase this to a 5.5 on the Richter scale, and from there the amount of warheads needed compounds, normally unable to go pass a 6.0 earthquake regardless of the number of warheads used.
In space, the explosion and shock-wave is fairly large, but is linear, as in able to be avoided by flying over or under the outburst of energy, and thus it is most effective against tight groups of larger ships, large swarms of Starfighters, or in asteroid fields and mine fields.
Graviton Warhead
Based off of the Gravity Mine, this warhead operates like a depth charge, being sent to a point in space and activating a localized Gravity Well. It’s a fairly small projector, covering much less space than a gravity well projected by an Immobilizer or Interdictor ship. The Standard variant covers One Thirty Second (1/32) the area the Assault Variant covers One Eighth (1/8) of a single Gravity Well Projector. This creates, small localized gravity wells used for small scale interdiction, not singularities like Dovin Basals. The Gravity Well is only active for Ten minutes, but there is no way to remote deactivate them, so they remain active for those five minutes or until they are destroyed.
