Tech Room Data

The GTM-X1 Serkr Bomb is a non-conventional thermonuclear warhead - estimated explosive yield not less than 3125 Mt - massive destructive capability not suited for tactical subsystem destruction - highest damage for its size of any GTA bomb - a single bomber carrying GTM-X1 ordnance has a damage potential two-thirds greater than one carrying GTM-N1 ordnance - single stage liquid fuel rocket booster - smallest turn radius and greatest linear velocity of any GTA bomb - highly efficient design for extended weapon lifetime.

The Serkr is a high-yield warhead developed as part of a top-secret GTI experimental weapons program. Sacrificing anti-subsystem capability for sheer hull-damaging power, the Serkr delivers a destructive payload 33 percent greater than the more common Tsunami. Like the Tsunami, the Serkr can be loaded on the Medusa medium bomber for tactical deployment -- and with a top speed of 95 m/s, this bomb stands a good chance of eluding even the fastest interceptor fighters. GTI pilots have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Serkr against capital ships of all types.

The Serkr is the GTM Cyclops in all but name (this is even mentioned inside FSPort's weapons.tbl). It is more efficient at destroying capital ships than the GTM Tsunami, but less so than the GTM Harbinger, and of the three warheads, it does the least subsystem damage per hit.
