Tech Room Kilrathi Weapons Database Summaries

I noticed that none of the Kilrathi weapons have a weapon summary associated with them. I don't know if this is coming later; however, I have written a few summaries for your consideration. The only weapon I didn't include was the SCRATCH mine (as I'm not sure what it or CONFED's Porcupine mine capabilities are supposed to be).

Kilrathi Weapons Summaries

PAW Dumbfire Missile The PAW Dumbfire missile is a point-and-shoot missile similar to Confed’s DART dumbfire. The PAW is used extensively by Kilrathi fighters tasked to harass or attack CONFED shipping due to its high speed and above average penetration and destruction capabilities. With a zero second lock time, the Kilrathi pilot is able to quickly fire the missile and turn their attention to counter defending CONFED fighters or other vulnerable spots on the immediate target.

FANG Friend-or-Foe Missile Intelligence reports the FANG is slightly longer than the CONFED’s PILUM Friend-or-Foe missile. Intelligence also believes the Kilrathi copied the PILUM design from a captured or misfired PILUM missile as nearly all of the functional aspects of the missile are similar to the PILUM. According to intelligence, the Kilrathi have accidentally destroyed many of their own vessels with this missile, and as a result of the Kilrathi honor system, Kilrathi pilots are loath to use a weapon that may kill their litter mates. This may explain why this missile has not been seen as much as CONFED would expect.

STALKER Heat Seeker Intelligence reports that the most common missile currently used by Kilrathi fighter pilots is the STALKER heat seeking missile. Other than the PAW Dumbfire missile, the STALKER causes the most amount of damage per hit of any Kilrathi missile (excluding torpedos). The missile is a favorite of the Kilrathi with a quick lock time. The main drawback to the missile is the short thrust time, requiring the Kilrathi pilot to get in close behind a CONFED figter before launching the STALKER.

CLAW Image Recognition Missile Intelligence reported the theft of blue-prints for the SPICULUM Image Recognition missile a few years ago, possibly by a Kilrathi sympathizer. Shortly thereafter, CONFED pilots started seeing missiles that avoided their standard heat seeking and ECM countermeasures. A captured CLAW missile proved it was based on the stolen designs, down to an error in an internal electrical wiring harness. These newer missiles are now deployed nearly as much as the STALKER heat seeking missile. However, with a greater range than the STALKER, these missiles can be fired from greater distances and from any approach vector to the CONFED fighter.

SPEAR Torpedo The SPEAR Torpedo is used by Kilrathi heavy fighters and bombers to attack CONFED military and civilian shipping. Intelligence reports the torpedo is as accurate as CONFED’s LANCE Torpedo with a similar destructive power. The SPEAR is fully capable of destroying civilian transports and smaller capships with one hit.

PREDATOR Torpedo CONFED’s experience with the PREDATOR Torpedo has not been good. The PREDATOR is nearly as fast as a fighter launched FANG missile, but is over 200 times more destructive with a far more lethal antimatter payload. The Kilrathi use the torpedo as a Capship killer and as has recently been proven, for planetary bombardment. If a CONFED fighter pilot sees a PREDATOR launch, they should expend every effort to kill the torpedo before it reaches its target.

I really like your descriptions.

That are some nice descriptions, dude ➡️
