SPECIAL FEATURES

• Dral Kayatr Core: Dense alloy penetrator retains integrity on impact, designed to defeat Beskar and similar armors.
• Seigurium Shell: Encases the penetrator with a reflective, resilient jacket that enhances velocity retention and prevents deformation.
• Iadrium Propellant Charge: Advanced synthetic powder providing extreme muzzle velocity and high thermal output.
• Thermite-Enhanced Impact: Combustion of Iadrium creates additional heat transfer on penetration, weakening armor around the entry point.
• Dual-Material Stability: The Dral Kayatr–Seigurium pairing balances hardness with toughness, preventing core shatter on high-velocity impact.
• Optimized Ballistic Shape: Streamlined penetrator design ensures stable supersonic flight and deep armor penetration.
• Barrier Defeat Capability: Maintains lethality after passing through hard cover such as walls, plating, or light vehicle armor.
• Heat-Resistant Construction: Designed to withstand the extreme temperatures generated by Iadrium combustion without premature deformation.
• Magazine Compatibility: Cartridge dimensions standardized for use in most modern slugthrower platforms chambered for heavy-caliber AP rounds.
• Scalable Munition Design:can be engineered at multiple sizes without loss of performance. From compact infantry cartridges to autocannon shells, heavy ordnance, and even starship-grade munitions,

STRENGTHS

• Beskar Penetration: Specifically engineered to pierce Beskar and similarly resistant alloys.
• High Penetrative Power: Concentrates energy into a small point, excelling against armored and reinforced targets.
• Structural Integrity: Dual-metal construction resists shattering or deformation, maintaining effectiveness even on angled hits.
• Velocity Retention: Dense Seigurium shell provides excellent momentum and stability in flight, enhancing armor-piercing capability.
• Consistent Penetration: Maintains shape and integrity after impact, ensuring reliable armor-piercing performance.
• High Momentum Transfer: Dense construction delivers deep penetration against hardened targets.
• Range Effectiveness: Retains velocity and stability at distance, allowing accurate armor-piercing fire from rifles and snipers alike.
• Overpenetration: Likely to punch straight through light cover or soft targets. destroying or outright ignoring cover
• Extreme Velocity: Iadrium propellant delivers higher muzzle speeds than conventional powders, improving penetration and flat trajectory.
• Heat-Lethality Synergy: Iadrium's thermite-like burn raises impact temperature, amplifying penetrative and damaging effects.

WEAKNESSES

• Specialized Role: Optimized for armor defeat; offers minimal advantage against unarmored infantry compared to cheaper rounds.
• Narrow Wound Channel: Creates clean penetrations with reduced immediate incapacitation on soft targets.
• Specialized Role: Optimized for armor penetration, making it less versatile than general-purpose ammunition.
• Collateral Risk: High penetrative power can carry through targets and structures, endangering those behind.
• Reduced Stopping Power: Energy is carried through the target rather than dispersed, lowering shock effect on unarmored opponents.
• High Muzzle Signature: Iadrium powder produces bright flash, loud report, and strong IR signature, exposing the shooter. unless otherwise concealed with barrel attachments

DESCRIPTION
The LO-AP/19 Armor-Piercing Round was developed in-house by the Lilaste Order's R&D division to provide infantry with a reliable countermeasure against elite armored opponents, most notably Mandalorian warriors. During the design phase, the Order reached out to the HPI Consortium for technical consultation on several advanced alloys already listed on the open market. HPI provided the necessary logistical and scientific data on Dral Kayatr, Seigurium, and Iadrium, allowing Lilaste engineers to consolidate these materials into a dedicated armor-defeating munition.

At its core, the LO-AP/19 features a Dral Kayatr penetrator, chosen for its ability to retain integrity and transfer kinetic energy even against Beskar. This penetrator is jacketed in a Seigurium shell, a durable reflective alloy that preserves the round's shape under extreme stresses and maximizes velocity retention in flight. Propulsion is provided by a tailored Iadrium powder charge, whose exceptionally energetic burn produces extreme muzzle velocity and additional thermal transfer upon impact.

The synergy of these components gives the LO-AP/19 the capacity to consistently penetrate Beskar and comparable high-grade alloys, while simultaneously destabilizing the surrounding material with heat generated at the point of impact. A key design consideration was scalability the round's construction principles allow it to be manufactured across multiple calibers, from infantry rifles and squad automatics to vehicle autocannons and starship-mounted ordnance.

While it is highly specialized offering little advantage over conventional ammunition against unarmored infantry the LO-AP/19 represents a decisive battlefield equalizer. By investing in this design, the Lilaste Order has ensured its forces are never left at a disadvantage against armored elites, marking the LO-AP/19 as a premier armor-piercing solution
