High-YieldsHurricane Missile – Yield (6000) – Fusing: Proximity – Guidance: IRAfter some concern that this armament would be nothing more than a continuation of theSQUASH Mine's unethical usage, the Hurricane Missile firmly rooted itself in military circlesas being the ‘weapon of choice’ when dealing with large numbers of small targets. Perfect forboth Kha'ak cluster engagements as well as breaking up tight formations of Pirates.Hornet Missile – Yield (49000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: IRThe Hornet Class Missile is the most powerful weapon known today. The gigantic resourcesneeded to produce this monster also make it extremely expensive. The missile works bysetting off a small nuclear charge causing a reaction between three differing elements that arethen combined on impact to create a large explosion powerful enough to disrupt even thelargest shields. The hornet is, on the other side, the slowest of the known missiles, and is bestused against immobile or slow moving targets.Firestorm Torpedo – Yield (50000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: IROne of the slowest and most powerful projectile weapons in the current armoury, theFirestorm Torpedo possesses devastating destructive force, at the expense of speed andmanoeuvrability. While remarkably easy to shoot down, this weapon, if successful, can inflictgreat damage to a station, and in volume, even destroy it. Its success against large combatcraft can be equally devastating when employed on close-range attack runs. This missileeven has some hull protection, so it can survive a few hits before it blows up - needless to saybig bangs require big CreditsWildfire Missile – Yield (?) – Fusing: unknown – Guidance: unknownThe Wildfire missile is a prototype missile developed by the Industritech Corporation beforethe Kha'ak attacks. However a production stage has not yet been reached. Some missileshave reportedly gone missing, but official sources have denied that this is the case.Other MissilesRemote Guided Warhead - Yield (100000) – Fusing: Contact – Guidance: RemoteThe Remote Guided Warhead is designed to be part missile and part drone. It is firednormally however the pilot remotely controls the missile into an accurate firing line. Thisprojectile is similar in build to the Torpedo but with the ability to be guided remotely by thepilot to avoid missile defence fire. It inflicts slightly less damage than the torpedo, however ifthe player controls it well there is a good chance of causing critical damage to the target.Kha’ak Sting, Needle and Thorn missiles - Yield (4000, 7450, 15000) – Fusing: ProximityThese are fast missiles that will explode near the target ship. They have a deadly poweragainst all fighter ships..79ShieldsShields are vital for survival in space. They protect the ship from small impacting objects likemini asteroids as well as during fights. Their one weakness is that they do not inhibit electricalcurrent. Their inability to inhibit current makes them susceptible to ion disruptors. Shields arean energy field, and MJ are the units for quantifying their performance. Shields project fieldstrength of X MJ - they don't "absorb" X MJ of energy.
They are available in 1 MJ Shield, typically used by Small fighters and scout ships. Somefighters, transporters and passenger ships use 5 MJ Shields and these ships are sometimesalternatively equipped with much more powerful 25 MJ or 125MJ. 1 GJ Shields, (1 GJ =1000MJ) are used by destroyers, battleships, carriers and heavy Transporter ships. The 10GJ Shield is the most powerful protection known. Typically they are used onboard largeinstallationsSQUASH MineA very destructive mine. Typically used to protect important strategic locations. Beware: Thismine does not have friend-foe recognition!TRACKERThe TRACKER mine is developed for short-range blockades. Once triggered it flies towardsits victim. The only way to survive a TRACKER mine is to outrun the mine long enough totrigger its self-destruction.“Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so” - Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)WARES & COMMODITIESArgnu beefArgnu originally roamed wild over the lower foothills of the Argon mountain ranges. Argnumeat, when processed for off planet export is sold in half-tonne pressed blocks known asCahoona Meatsteaks.ArtefactsRelics of ancient civilisations can be found all over the universe. These artefacts vary in sizeand shape but most were built with sophisticated advanced technology. The origins of theseartefacts are still unclear and Argon and Boron archaeologists are working to decipher theirpurpose.80Artificial FertilizerIn recent Jazuras the Argon Agriculture Council has decided that it is unsafe to use Fertilizerfrom the Argnu Cattle. This artificial fertiliser created by the AAC contains all the essentialelements that plants need for growth but eliminates the ones that are harmful to other lifeforms.Biological Micro OrganismsThese micro-organisms are used by the Boron to create new and advanced pharmaceuticals.Using their advanced genetic techniques, the Boron have discovered many cures topreviously incurable diseases. The Boron Medical Council now controls the regulation ofthese micro-organisms in most sectors. The Boron actively search out new species and havediscovered varieties that are used to manufacture fertilizer and to treat radioactive waste.BoFuBoFu meals are known to be very nutritious and healthy. The Boron love them and it is saidthat their pilots can live on just a nugget of BoFu for almost a Wozura. BoFu is grown inspecial BoFu Chemical Labs from Plankton and other secret ingredients.
