SPECIAL FEATURES

• Quad-Barrel Burst System: Fires staggered salvos to interlock flak clouds with minimal barrel wear
• Fuse Programmability: Choose timed, proximity, or custom detonation settings
• Environmental Sealing: Rated for vacuum and atmospheric operations alike
• AI Heuristics: Learns threat patterns and dynamically paces fire sequence and fuse timing
• Payload Variants:
  
  • HE-FLAK: Shrapnel burst for standard swarm suppression
  • ION-FLAK: Fragments imbued with ionic charge to disable unshielded drones
  • TRACER-FLAK: Visual tagging shot for coordinated follow-up targeting
  • INCD-FLAK: Incendiary payload for cockpit fires or beam emitter disruption
• Tactical Bloom Control: Fire modes adjust spread radius for corridor, hangar, or open space threats

STRENGTHS

• Space & Atmosphere Ready: Effective above clouds or at orbital altitudes
• Compact & High-Fire: Ideal for fast-response point defense
• Payload Flexibility: Mission-customizable ammo load
• Adaptive AI: Targeting improves through engagement
• Friendly-Fire Minimization: Bloom control reduces collateral damage

WEAKNESSES

• Limited Armor Penetration: Best suited for drones, fighters, and shuttles
• Thermal/Power Demand: Sustained fire requires careful heat management
• ECM Sensitive: Jamming can sharply reduce AI accuracy
• Area-of-Effect: Manual fire discipline needed in tight formations

DESCRIPTION
The Covenator II “94 Thunderstorm” shrinks down the flak-driver formula into a nimble, responsive system designed for fast, precise, and deadly suppression. With programmable fuses and multiple shell types, it can transition from wide scatter bursts to tight-label tracking at a moment’s notice.
Ideal for installation on:

• Dropships/boarders needing cover fire
• Escort corvettes as a fast flak backup to Valencia II
• Space station gunpods securing hangar ceilings or docking rings
• Planetary base turrets defending missile pits and shuttle paths

With its AI-powered logic, the Covenator II is not just “small flak.” It’s smart territory denial optimized for speed and flexibility wherever swarm threats are expected.
