SPECIAL FEATURES

• 8 kilos, 1 missile, 300 meter range (RPS-6 analog)
• Frame: Tempered Duralium / Durasteel Alloy Frame
• Sight: Shatterproof Ceraglass Lens Macroscope with integrated Rangefinder and Targeting Sensor / Laser Tracking Designator
• Barrel: Low-Friction Coating
• Recoil Management: Integrated Recoil Deflector and Gas Diverters
• Grip: Magnatomic Adhesion Grip
• Settings: Dumbfire, Heatseeking, Target Marked

STRENGTHS

• (+) Mode Selection: the primary strength of the TREX-1 are the packed selectively stabilized detonite missiles it fires. These missiles can be selected to explode either in a flat blast for use against infantry and light vehicles, or in a focused high-explosive blast for use against heavily armored targets and fortifications.
• (+) Recoilless: as a recoilless launcher the TREX-1 utilizes propellant gases in conjunction with a recoil deflector to create minimal recoil.
• (+) Rugged: the TREX-1 can be handled much more roughly than the standard launcher, and keeps firing as designed across a variety of environments.

WEAKNESSES

• (-) Mode Selection: the TREX-1 can switch between blast modes, but takes several seconds before it can fire, as it must "prime" each missile due to the restrictions of selectively stabilized detonite.
• (-) Limited Ammunition: the TREX-1 is muzzle loaded, and can only fire one missile at a time.
• (-) Limited Range: the TREX-1 fires missiles that are quite fast, and quite powerful, but limited in range - the TREX- is designed to only be used against ground targets or extremely slow airborne targets.

DESCRIPTION
The Tetron Centrex TREX-1 Recoilless Rocket Launcher is a rugged, single-shot anti-armor platform engineered for frontline utility and ease of use under battlefield conditions. Built on a tempered duralium–durasteel alloy frame and equipped with a shatterproof ceraglass macroscope, the TREX-1 allows operators to designate targets via integrated rangefinding sensors or laser tracking, depending on mission needs.

Its selectively stabilized detonite missiles offer unusual flexibility: each projectile can be primed for either a wide-area blast ideal for infantry suppression or a focused shaped-charge detonation capable of breaching armored hulls and fortifications. With its low-friction barrel, integrated recoil deflector, and gas diverters, the launcher produces almost no kick, allowing even lightly trained personnel to employ it safely and accurately.

However, the TREX-1's adaptability comes with operational constraints. Each missile requires a priming cycle—several seconds of charge modulation—before the weapon can fire, preventing rapid follow-up shots. As a muzzle-loaded, single-missile system, its ammunition capacity is inherently limited, and its effective range of three hundred meters restricts it to ground engagements or very slow aerial targets.
