PRODUCTION INFORMATION
- Manufacturer: Lilaste Order Armory Division — Aurora Station
- Affiliation: Lilaste Order | Diarchy
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: LO-CSR/45 Corrosive Sabot — "Blackbite"
- Modularity: Limited — sabot tip variants available
- Production: mass Produced
- Material:
- Penetrator core: Forged Kov'dra flechette (armor-piercing, anti-Force properties).
- Corrosive payload: Micro-encapsulated corrosive gel/ mist .
- Ionic irritant: Blackbite ionic colloid (fictional non-biological irritant/galvanic agent).
- Propellant/charge: Solid Iadrium micro-pulse.
- Sabot body: Tensile-durasteel/plastoid composite (peels away on muzzle exit).
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Sabot-Encased Corrosive Vial: Reinforced micro-vial of Korrosin gel protected by the sabot to prevent shatter during firing and ensure intact delivery into the breach channel.
- Shatter-on-Impact Mechanism: Vial fractures on or immediately after penetration, dispersing the corrosive gel into the wound/breach cavity.
- Adherent Corrosive Action: Korrosin bonds to metal/composite surfaces and begins aggressive localized erosion of plating, hydraulic seals, and housings.
- Ionic Irritant (Blackbite Component): Non-biological ionic colloid that increases galvanic corrosion risk, promotes shorting in exposed electronics, and causes acute sensory/neuromuscular irritation in exposed personnel.
- Kov'dra Core Construction: Kov'dra penetrator retains extreme durability and anti-Force/deflection traits, improving hit probability against Force-adept opponents.
- Non-Electronic Delivery: Entire mechanism is ballistic and mechanical — immune to EMP/Ion denial of electronic fuzes.
- Micro-Encapsulation Stability: Payload is stored inert in microcapsules to reduce accidental activation during transport and handling (fictional stability caveat).
STRENGTHS
- Armor Denial: Chemically degrades armor and internal components from the inside, effective at disabling sealed systems and joints.
- Systems Disruption: Ionic component increases chances of disabling local electronics, sensors, and shield control nodes near the breach.
- Tactical Flexibility: Usable across sabot-capable platforms (specialist rifles, boarding tubes, modified autoloaders) to deny vehicles, turrets, and fortified positions.
- Surgical Disablement: Designed to create high-value denial effects (engineering bays, weapon housings, walker joints) with single, well-placed shots.
WEAKNESSES
- Contamination Hazard: Korrosin and Blackbite agent pose significant risks to friendly forces and noncombatants if used in confined environments; extensive decon required after exposure.
- Limited Immediate Lethality: Primary role is denial/disable if the sabot fails to deposit payload internally (overpenetration, ricochet), immediate lethal effect on personnel is limited.
DESCRIPTION
The LO-CSR/45 "Blackbite" is the Lilaste Order Armory Division's corrosive-sabot complement to the LO-VSR/32 venom sabot. Where the VSR/32 brings neurotoxic incapacitation to remove personnel, Blackbite is intended to remove hardware: vehicle systems, sensor arrays, weapon housings, and any sealed compartment the enemy relies upon. Developed at Aurora Station after operational analysis showed that kinetic hits alone often left enemy platforms recoverable, Blackbite was fielded to turn single shots into progressive engineering failures.
A single LO-CSR/45 round launches a Kov'dra flechette to punch a narrow breach; microcapsules carried behind the penetrator rupture and the corrosive gel blooms into the cavity. The gel adheres to structural joints, wiring looms, and hydraulic seals where it rapidly undermines materials, fouls servos, and accelerates galvanic action. The accompanying Blackbite ionic colloid increases the chance that nearby control circuits suffer shorting or sensor nodes fail outright. For crews, exposure means terrifying, painful sensory irritation and neuromuscular disruption until decontamination is possible.
Operational employment favors targeted strikes: hit a walker's knee joint, a gun turret's feed housing, or an engineering port and watch a single hit cascade into a mission-ending failure. Its cost and contamination profile keep Blackbite off general issue; instead it equips breach teams, boarding detachments, elite anti-vehicle squads, and special operations marksmen.
The round is powerful in the hands of disciplined teams but can be abused or create unacceptable collateral if used carelessly the chemical denial it creates can render friendly salvage or civilian infrastructure unusable. The Order's doctrine pairs Blackbite with venom sabots and precision suppression to combine personnel neutralization with hardware denial when a decisive, permanent result is required.
Would you like me to update the CSR tech-card and model number fields (production info, strengths/weaknesses, variants, etc.) to reflect LO-CSR/45 everywhere as well?
