Projectile Weapons

TYPE
RAIL GUNS

Rail guns have been in use by the Earth Alliance since the early 21st century.  This weapon uses electromagnetic fields to discharge aluminum projectiles at a speed half that of light.  This form of projectile weapon is well renowned for its ability to punch through or inflict serious damage to the hulls of enemy ships, and is easier to maintain and requires less power than laser or particle beam weapons.
 

TYPE
QUANTUM TORPEDO

Upon impact, the torpedo generates a quantum oscillation that collides antihydrogen and plasma packets, annihilating themselves and igniting the falmerite explosives laden in the torpedo, resulting in an explosion approximately 10^5 megajoules, equivalent to the output of four photon torpedoes. 4,200,000 kilometer range, guided by an advanced guidance computer.
 

TYPE
TRI-COBALT TORPEDO

These torpedoes are the most powerful torpedo weapon in mass production. Upon impact, the microfusion initiators inside the casing fuse the three packets of cobalt hexafluoride with pure antihydrogen, creating a very unstable compound, which combines with plasma from the torpedo's engines, causing rapid total annihilation of the torpedo matter producing 10^7 megajoules, equivalent to the energy of 125 photon torpedoes.
 

TYPE
PHOTON MISSLE

The photon missle is a highly manuverable high explosive missle.  Using a smaller casing and less sophisticated guidance system, the missle is fired in a burst with up to fifty other missles.  This is used for fighter defence and high-spread impacts on any size ship.
 

TYPE
"Odin's Fury"

"Odin's Fury" is the offspring of the Cimothian Star Empire's Tremblor missle.  This black spearhead of dsestruction is smaller, sleeker, and all around a different weapon that what it was originally intended to be.  "Odin's Fury" was designed as a fast weapon of mass destruction.  It's warhead is comprised of a small Protoculture energy container and and hyperspace tidal energy.  When the two combine, the Protoculture reacts to the immense hyperspace tidal energy and they both anniliate each other in a detonation roughly equivilant to a 1 gigaton explosion.  This warhead sits atop a warp drive capable of reaching warp 9 for 6 hours.  The weapon is designed to impact on it's target at that high warp velocity, causing damage due to sheer kinetic energy, and driving itself into it's target, whether it be a planet, station etc.  The weapon then explodes once it's forward momentum is killed.  This weapon is far more destructive in it's single payload than anyother weapon next to a direct HyperSpace tapped beam cannon...which may be seen in the near future...
