- High Yield: The Ravager missile system is capable of launching mass-swarms of ordnance at a time. If both pods are fired alternatingly, one could fire a near-constant volley of missiles until running out of compatible ordnance.
- Seeker Ordnance: Each volley of Ravager missiles is capable of tracking its intended target despite changes in velocity or vector. This is done via a small tracking link module installed within the missile, which is linked to the tracking computer of its host ship.
- Low Impact: Each individual Ravager missile carries a small explosive charge. One missile on its own would not do much damage on its own, but if fired en-masse, could damage shielding & armor paneling with enough concentrated fire.
- Tracking Computer Reliant If linked with basic tracking computers, Ravager missiles are mainly effective in seeking/tracking starships of corvette class or above. More advanced tracking systems would grant the host craft sufficient ability for each missile to track standard-issue starfighters, although the best ordinance for such an application would be proximity explosive missiles to mimic the effect of flak-based weaponry. It should be noted that this weakness implies that should either the tracking module within the missile or the targeting computer within the firing ship be disrupted or otherwise compromised, the missiles would be little more than point to point munitions when fired, or if such disruption occurs mid-flight.
Furthering the initiative to continually modernize the armaments of the branches of the Eternal Empire’s armed forces, Karavin Concern developed a basic but effective assault-missile system for use aboard the Eternal Fleet’s starships. Filling the role of a multi-use missile platform that could be easily integrated aboard any class of starship, the Ravager Missile System is capable of providing mid-ranged, high-yield fire power which proves highly effective against mid to small sized craft.
Given the simplicity of its design and ready availability of required materials, one could easily expect to see the use of this new missile system on nearly all craft requiring a sizable punch without overly weighing it down. Said punch is delivered via sheer weight of fire in lieu of each individual missile carrying massive amounts of stopping power on its own, and the system is quite versatile given one could load a variety of specialized munitions to meet the situation. While extensively used within the Eternal Fleet, this is one of the few weapon systems approved for use on civilian craft within the Empire for self defense purposes.
