Description (Specifications)

Designed to aggressively deliver a barrage of thermonuclear weapons to the enemies' planetary surface, this design jumps in, races for the home world and unleashes its hydra weapon system. The pulse lasers and flexible, energy dissipating armor platelets are an afterthought, and serve only to fend off a few missile hits and prevent critical hits that would prevent the arrival of its ordinance on strategic targets.
