Description

Blue Planet Tech Room Description

The Kiribati-Sunder GES-10 Slammer is the Federation's counterpart to the Infyrno and Piranha cluster weapons. Major differences include the addition of an aspect seeker, a remote trigger and multiple limited guidance cluster warheads that are fired at a 10 degree angle, producing a shotgun effect. The warheads themselves detonate about 3 seconds after separation. Slammers excel at offensive deployment against large groups of fighters, and they are devastating against bombers. Of all the Federation's fighter-based weapons, GTVA pilots fear Slammers the most, and unlike their Piranha and Infyrno counteparts, Slammers enjoy considerable popularity amongst pilots. Uriel gunships can carry twelve Slammers into battle for heavy fighter and bomber suppression, turning dogfights into gruesome, industrial slaughterhouses.
