PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun

• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: CGC-DCMVN-X1 “Voidnet”
• Modularity: Yes
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  
  • Void-7 Seismic Core
  • ID-84 Interdiction Field Coil
  • Agrinium Mesh Shielding
  • Ardanium Lattice Shielding
  • Plasteel Alloy Housing

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Area-Denial Depth Munition
• Size: Large
• Weight: Heavy
• Ammunition Type: Seismic + Interdiction Warhead
• Ammunition Capacity: Very Small
• Effective Range: Average
• Rate of Fire: Low
• Damage Output: Very High
• Recoil: None

SPECIAL FEATURES

• • Dual-Payload Architecture:
  
  • Void-7 Seismic Charge: Gravitational lens detonation causes spatial shockwave
  • ID-84 Interdiction Field Coil: Deploys miniaturized interdiction net post-detonation
• Variable Payload Configurations:
  
  • Plasma Core Variant: Releases superheated plasma cloud after seismic rupture; causes hull blistering and ambient ignition
  • Concussive/Ballistic Variant: Ejects dense ball bearings at hypersonic speed in all directions post-seismic rupture; area fragmentation
• Atmospheric Use: Airburst ~10–25 meters above terrain; terrain shock and sensor jamming
• Void Use: Localized gravity shock disrupts tracking, shields, and inertial guidance
• Interdiction Field Duration: 15–30 seconds; blocks hyperspace transitions and scrambles navicomputers

STRENGTHS

• Two-for-One Destruction: Combines concussive gravitic effect with pursuit denial
• Modular Payloads: Plasma variant creates thermal denial zones; ballistic variant shreds enemy hulls and screens
• Void or Atmosphere Compatible: Designed to function cleanly in both
• Terrifying Shock Profile: Excellent for breaking formations, screening retreats, or disrupting close pursuit
• Non-Line-of-Sight Delivery: Depth-drop system doesn’t require a direct shot

WEAKNESSES

• High Collateral Potential: Not safe to use near friendly units
• Sensor Visibility: Difficult to hide launch, signature flare unavoidable
• Short Interdiction Window: Bubble is temporary, not strategic-scale
• Massive Shock Radius: Not for precision environments or in tight corridors
• Not Repeat-Use: Reload must be handled manually, one shot per rack

DESCRIPTION
The Voidnet-type Gravitic Depth Munition, codenamed “Shearsong,” is a devastating dual-effect weapon developed by the Commonwealth for use in fleet denial, tactical retreats, and shock-based battlefield disruption.

Drawing on the devastating gravitic detonation of the Void-7 Seismic Charge and combining it with the interdiction snare of the ID-84 Missile, Shearsong turns any combat zone into a trap. The initial airburst or void-rip flattens formations and shatters inertial locks — and seconds later, the interdiction field flares up, cutting off escape.

Two optional payload variants expand the munition’s brutality:

• The Plasma Core variant releases a superheated vapor field that can ignite open air or cripple sensitive components in vacuum.
• The Concussive/Ballistic variant launches hardened micro-ball bearings outward at shrapnel-grade velocity — shredding strike craft, screening drones, and unshielded decks.

Though unsuited to precision strikes, Shearsong excels at terror, suppression, and abrupt battlefield control. Drop one in the path of retreating enemies and force them to stay — or scatter them with violence before they can blink away.
