- Primary Source: Tra'beviiin-class Brilliant Missile
- Manufacturer: Breshig War Forge Consolidated
- Affiliation: Breshig War Forge Consolidated and subsidiary, Strill Securities.
- Model: Getna-class Anti-Armor Brilliant Missile
- Modularity: None.
- Production: Limited
- Material: Duranium frame, reinforced duraplast reinforcements, advanced droid brain, electronics and missile components.
- Classification: Anti-tank Brilliant Missile
- Size: Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Explosive Type: Tandem shaped directional baradium charge.
- Delivery Method: Self-Propelled
- Effective Range: Battlefield
- Area Of Effect: Personal
- Stopping Power: Extreme
- Dedicated Energy Receptor
- Electro Photoreceptor
- Long-range Heat Detector
- Long-range Energy Scanner
- Magnetic Signature Sensor
- Excellent Tracking: The missile's extremely intelligent droid brain compares sensor data from the launch platform that it downloads prior to launch (part of the target acquisition process) to data from its heat detector and energy scanner at long ranges, as it closes in, it extrapolates the target's specific drive and EM signature, at which point it becomes extremely resistant to countermeasures and jamming. The missile will then follow the target till it reaches optimal detonation range or runs out of fuel.
- Impact Optional: If the missile determines that it cannot reach optimum detonation range before it runs out of fuel, it will instead attempt to reach maximum effective detonation range.
- Fast: The missile is extremely fast, allowing it to close the distance between it and its target quickly.
- Resistant: With a duranium frame and reinforced duraplast reinforcement the missile is indeed quite resistant to incoming point-defence fire to an extent.
- Home-on-jam: As a nasty trick, the missile possess a home-on-jam protocol, which in the event that it does indeed lose its original target, it will home in on the strongest source of jamming instead.
- Tandem Charge: The tandem directional baradium charges make the missile excellent at dealing with reactive armor, hardened structures and a variety of other defenses it might be used against.
- Jamming: Jamming in the earlier stage of target acquisition at long ranges can indeed overload the droid brain and cause it to lose its previously acquired target.
- EMP/Ion: While resistant to EMP/Ion damage, any damage that does actually get through will fry the missile's circuitry like a protato in a deep-fat fryer.
- Countermeasures: Any long range countermeasure technology or countermeasures that attack the missile directly are likely to either destroy the missile or cause it to lose its previously acquired target.
- Volatile: If it takes damage inside the launch tube the missile is likely not only detonate spectacularly, but likely set off other ordnance as well.
- Sensor Range: The missile's range is very much affected by the range and resolution of the sensor suite of the launch platform, if the launch platform's sensor suite is short ranged then the missile cannot engage that target.
- Morality/Legality: Given that the droid brain used on this missile is considered by many to be semi-sentient, there are some parts of the galaxy that might frown on the use of this missile, and parts that may do more than frown.
DESCRIPTION
"Battlefield circumstances dictate the design of weapons, and those who stubbornly refuse to adapt end up dead."
- Fleet Admiral Nyles Kote, Strill Securities
Because of the prevalence of electronic warfare technology as well as the demands from Strill Securities for a missile for use against heavily armored ground based targets that could stand up to ground based jamming sources, the company adapted their very successful Tra'beviin for use against heavily armored targets. The key difference between the Tra'beviin and the Getna is that the latter is intended for air-to-ground and ground-to-ground use. As such, the Getna is capable of tracking a ground target from a great distance away and then engaging that target very quickly with great resistance to jamming. When used along with the Ruu'y'asa-class Anti-Sensor Missile, the Getna becomes even more effective as theoretically the Ruu'y'asa will engage most sources of jamming or AAA, allowing the Getna to theoretically proceed unhindered to its target. The Getna's tandem warhead allows it to deal with hardened structures, advanced composite armors and ERA kits as well, making it a very effective armor hunter on the modern battlefield. The only unfortunate part about the missile is that it suffers from much of the same flaws as the missile it was based off, the Tra'beviin. Nonetheless, needless to say, Strill Securities is very happy with their new toy.- Fleet Admiral Nyles Kote, Strill Securities
