Project "UNTERGANG"
This is Spezialagent Baldur Schmidt reporting. With the assistance of Daumann Heavy Construction, we have been able to procure a set of two gunboat-class turrets, codenamed "UNTERGANG", or in Sirian Standard, "DOOM", for use within the Oder-class gunboat U-605.
The initial concept for this weapon was first formulated a few months ago. Our goal was to develop a weapon based on recent advances in cryotechnology thanks to new cryomaterials found in the [REDACTED] system. Ultimately, after some hurdles in the development process, we managed to perfect the "UNTERGANG" gunboat turret. Compared to other conventional gunboat turrets, the "UNTERGANG" utilizes less energy and has a shorter refire time thanks to the newly-developed cooling system based on cryomaterials. After a round of initial testing, the "UNTERGANG" proved to be a reliable shieldbuster. However, its combat effectiveness has not been evaluated yet.
For this endeavor, I went on a Draugr-class freighter for two expeditions to the [REDACTED] system with a Daumann vessel called the Bavaria to obtain the needed cryomaterials, which were delivered successfully to AESIR Facility without incident.
