The Mangonel Mini Torpedo Launcher is the Commonwealth Navy’s answer to the demands of modern fleet combat: versatility, adaptability, and raw offensive punch. Inspired by the ancient mangonel siege engines that could hurl a variety of payloads at enemy fortifications, this system brings that same flexibility to the stars.
Designed for small to medium-sized Commonwealth vessels like the Kelly-class patrol boat, the Mangonel integrates seamlessly into the fleet’s modular approach to shipbuilding. Its Flextube Launch System enables each tube to load a variety of mini-torpedo types, from classic proton torpedoes to specialized ECM or EMP variants. This versatility ensures that the Mangonel can adapt to any tactical situation, whether cracking a pirate hull, disabling shield generators, or laying down a smoke screen of electronic disruption.
The Mangonel’s Underslung Mounting keeps the boat’s profile clean, while its AI-assisted targeting system ensures that even in chaotic fleet battles, every shot counts. Redundant fire-control systems guarantee functionality even under the most intense electronic warfare assaults—a nod to the Commonwealth’s commitment to reliability and resilience.
Although its magazine is small compared to larger torpedo systems, the Mangonel compensates through rapid reload modules supported by fleet tenders. Combined with the Arbalest Capacitor System and the Crystal-Fused Ion Engine, the Mangonel ensures that Commonwealth ships remain at the cutting edge of space combat, bringing the power of siege warfare to the modern battlefield.
