General,
As per your request, we've run some weaponry tests on some known weapons to test their capacities and applications in the battlefield. However due to recent events, some tests are still under progress but we will update you on their status.

Test #1

Incapacitor Torpedo
Range: 1800 M
Projectile speed: 78 m/s
Refire Rate: 0.30
Weapon type: EMP Warhead


Incapacitor Torpedoes are warheads capable of delivering a high EMP charge.
These torpedoes are very effective against any kind of shielding.
Testing on a shieldless drone showed that it disables all systems on a vessel, by leaving it defenseless for almost 2 minutes, except for emergency life support.
System blackouts on larger ships are estimated to be longer (yet to be tested).
A large amount of energy is required to fire one torpedo, due to it's extensive EMP charge.

Test #2

Nova Torpedo
Range: 4200 M
Projectile speed: 105 m/s
Refire Rate: 0.20
Weapon Type: Antimatter Warhead


Nova Torpedoes are warheads that deliver huge quantities of antimatter, with a large blast.
Our tests showed that even one torpedo can destroy a light armored ship without overheating the bomber's powercore.
These torpedoes can not directly penetrate heavy armor (e.g. Battleship Class Vessel) but they can still cripple a vessel due to their explosion radius of almost 100M.
Using these torpedoes can be dangerous to inexperienced pilots due their large blast radius. Caution is advised.

Test #3

Neutralizer Bomb
Range: 600 M
Projectile speed: 280 m/s
Refire Rate: 4.00
Weapon Type: EMP bomb


The Neutralizer Bomb Launcher is a heavy, overcharged cannon that releases slow electromagnetic pulses that are capable of overcharging any shield.
Our tests show that these cannons can sometimes miss their projectiles when firing towards a vessel due to a failure in locking on to a target. The exact reason as to why this happens is not yet confirmed.
It is similar to how the Incapacitor Torpedo works, but with smaller EMP charges in each bomb. The increased rate of fire makes up for this and ensures that it is equally as deadly to any shield or light armored vessel.

Test #4

Scorcher Bomb
Range: 600 M
Projectile Speed: 280 m/s
Refire Rate: 4.00
Weapon type: Plasma bomb


The Scorcher Bomb Launcher is very similar to the Neutralizer but instead of releasing slow EMP charges, it delivers overcharged plasma, resulting in powerful projectiles.
Our tests showed that it works just like the Neutralizer in the method of firing but instead of being effective against shields, it damages the hull.
The power of this plasma bomb devastates any light armored vessels in a matter of seconds, and due to it's rapid fire, it is possible to damage even heavily armored vessels.

More tests will be made on bigger vessels to further confirm how exactly these powerful weapons function.
I will be in touch.

Blancos out.

[Commander Crucible]

Buenos Dias Blancos,

You've made good use of our drones I see. It is good to finally see progress from our research teams. Technological progress starts with understanding what we already possess.

After carefully studying the results displayed here, I see significant usage for this "Incapacitor torpedo". I want more results here Blancos, on larger ships. Find attached here is list of these belligerent capital ships, consider them to be your test subjects. They have severed their ties to our people by their actions during the Theta War. This list will be constantly updated as our techs scan through the footage recovered from ships in the allied fleet.

The rest of the weaponry seem standard as expected. Keep me posted Senor Blancos.

Gracias
Lanzo Walker
