[SIZE=14.6667px]Description:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px]The KE-2 Nuriel is a countermeasure designed to neutralize directed energy attacks (DEW) like (true) lasers and particle bolts. The system consists of a canister created from a lightweight shell of agrinium, topped with an outer shell of reinforced duraplast to harden the munition against electronic attack and EMP/ion energy during flight. The canister itself contains a mixture of anti-beam aerosol harvested from Fire Breathers (sourced from [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Panacea[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]), and shavings of sleg. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px]Upon detonation, the canister deploys its contents as a large cloud. Incoming DEW attacks that pass through the cloud are initially dissipated by the aerosol. The volatile sleg shavings within the cloud absorb this energy, then detonate as an explosion that transforms gas cloud into a defensive screen of energy that lasts for a few seconds. During this time, the screen is effective at blocking or weakening passing DEW attacks by extreme blooming. Small vessels passing through the energy screen, like starfighters, risk being damaged or destroyed. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px]The Nuriel can be fired in shell form from artillery with an optional sabot or armature (for rail guns) if needed. It can also be loaded as a missile warhead so that it can be fired from portable launchers like a [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]PLX-1[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px], or vehicle launchers such as a [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Flex Tube[/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px].

Firebreather Gas,

By this do you mean the anti-laser aerosol that the Firebreathers exhaled? If so, please list it as such. All the materials (such as the anti-laser gas) which are contained by this canister would also be the Ammunition type.

Size: Hand Carried, Vehicle Mounted Length: N/A Weight: N/A

Classification: Countermeasure Munition/Cartridge (Starfighter Missile Equivalent)

Effective Range: Cloud radius: 250 meters

You have three different types of sizes listed, and you have no actual sizes. If this is modular (comes in multiple sizes) please adjust your submission so it lists all of the information for each of its variable sizes.

I linked directly to the entry about the Vong firebreathers because I'm using that specific variant of anti-laser aerosol, an entry which also provides a detailed description of the chemical composition of this specific compound. Link added.

There is only one canister size, but it can be launched by different delivery mechanisms (MANPADs, Artillery/Cannons, Vehicle-Mounted Launchers, etc.) similar to something like a TOW missile. The canister itself is just a cartridge/warhead. By hand carried I meant via a shoulder-fired launcher, which I detailed in the description section.
