SPECIAL FEATURES
- Multi-Payload Delivery System
- Advanced Fire Control System
- The versatility in the payloads the Banshee can deliver range from rockets, swarmer missiles, and STA missiles.
- The Banshee is able to deliver a plethora of different payloads, granted that the rockets/missiles being fired are compatible with the launcher itself. Projectiles fired from the Banshee have a similar effective range of those fired from their larger counterparts, with a slight but not considerably shorter range.
- The Banshee features an advanced fire control system, allowing for rapid target acquisition and smart locks for any ammunition that is designed to follow their targets.
- Though the launcher's construction is relatively sturdy and durable, a well-placed shot is capable of disabling it or possibly penetrating the launcher to hit the munition it is meant to launch.
- EMP can shut down the Banshee entirely for the duration of the pulse as it will have no means of acquiring targets and firing while under the effects of EMP.
DESCRIPTION
The KM-21 'Banshee' is one of many armor attachments produced to be compatible with armors used by The Sith Empire that feature hardpoints for it to be mounted to. Possessing a Banshee provides the user with an extensive array of firepower and can take on several different payloads that range from anti-armor, anti-air, wide area of effect/denial. The Banshee's advanced fire control system allows for a rapid acquisition of targets and makes necessary calculations for tracking targets if it is armed with payloads with homing capabilities. Once mounted to a compatible armor system, it provides a HUD overlay that can be operated through the helmet's systems. It provides accurate projectile flight paths as well as blast radii for increased accuracy and precision. It fires its payloads in rapid succession and the launcher can extend/collapse for portability. The option to 'dumb fire' payloads is also present, allowing for the Banshee to be capable of firing upon clusters of infantry.
