[SIZE=9pt]SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]

  • Droid Containment: The Cerberus Torpedoes are designed to hold up to 3 B1 Battle Droids, though it can be modified to hold other types of droids as well. These droids are loaded from the head of the torpedo and may rapidly launch all its droids within 1 second from the head as well.

  • Cortosis-Tipped Fins: The Cerberus has three sharp reversed ‘fins’ which form a tripod which extends beyond the missiles head, each tipped with a small amount of cortosis. These tips allows the Cerberus Torpedo to ‘stick’ to particle shields it strikes head-on while largely ignoring ray shields.
[SIZE=9pt]Strengths:[/SIZE]

  • Particle Shield Infiltration: Using a shield generator installed in the warhead, the Cerberus Torpedo will, upon contact with a particle shield, create a ray shield around its head that will pry open powerful particle shields. This opening is about 1 meter wide and lasts roughly 1 second. This high powered, albeit brief, ray shield would severely burn organics passing through it.

  • Hollow Shell: Besides the droids, the thruster, and the shield generator, the Cerberus Torpedo is completely empty, not weighed down by heavy metals meant for maximum force or volatile explosives, this missile is capable of travelling relatively quickly over large distances.
[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses:[/SIZE]

  • Space Specialized: If used on-planet, droids dropped from above or below would clearly meet an unfortunate end due to gravity. This weapon is meant for space combat due to the omni-directional drop points.

  • Hollow Shell: With no weight or serious mass behind it, this missile can be brushed off by even the smallest ships’ shields. Even damage it would cause upon a direct hit would be negligible.

  • Defenseless: Cerberus Missiles are easily destroyed by physical and energy damage.
[SIZE=9pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Created to turn an otherwise absurd idea into a reality, mostly out of mad curiosity, at the request of the eccentric droid Clanker. Namely the desire to be able to launch a battalion of droids through space for the purpose of infiltrating and boarding enemy fleets. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]The Cerberus Torpedo, upon attaching itself to a particle shield via cortosis-tipped fins, will deploy a small but powerful ray shield that will create a small and short-lived gap in the particle shield. The Cerberus will then expunge all its droid packages through the shield gap.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Due to the risk-prone and hazardous nature of this weapon/vehicle, it cannot be recoommended for organics. If it isn't shot down in transit (which is more than likely), organics would still be damaged as they pass through the ray shield. It was designed for B1 Battle Droids primarily due to their [/SIZE]expendability, as it is estimated only 10% of Cerberus Torpedoes would survive an average battleship's turret defenses, assuming equal starship power.
