The numbers include a "tech

section.
| Imperial Rocket Launcher |
3 |
It is a
6-chamber shoulder-mounted rocket pod that integrates
with the Imperial Design Corps' Sukomee personal assault
platform. The bulk of the pod encourages that they be
mounted on both shoulders to aid in balance and symmetry.
The reloading process is exceptionally awkward and
requires removal from the Sukomee and partial disassembly
of the pod. The rocket load-out
is, therefore, configured before battle.
Each of the 6 pods can hold a unique rocket type and can
be fired in combination or sequence. The aiming and firing
sequence is controlled by electronic interface with the
Sukomee sensor net and is initiated by the wearer.

| Azatlath
Hellbringer Missile Box |
1 |
The Azatlath
Hellfire system is a self-standing, multi-barrel,
programmable missile box that can be controlled onsite or
remotely. It is fully modular and configurable and
consists of missile tubes and a control stand. Each
missile tube is purchased separately and may consist of
any of a variety of anti-personnel, anti-armour, anti-air,
or general use missiles which may be direct fire, indirect
fire, or guided. The tubes can be carried separately and
attached together onsite, allowing a squad of soldiers to
carry an incredibly heavy weapons system with them to
remote locations. The Hellbringer tubes are designed to be
heavy or light, where four light tubes are attached in a
square configuration that is equal to one heavy tube, in
order to maintain a regularly shaped "box" of missiles
when the system is assembled. The operator may choose
which missiles are fired and in what combination. Complex
firing patterns may be pre-programmed and called up
quickly during combat. Further, the Hellbringer has an
available bio-computer driven control stand that can,
through a deployed sensor net and pre-programmed
directives, make intelligent targeting and launch
decisions without the presence of a sentient operator. |
| NanoNet |
4 |
Nano-Cybernetix
non-lethal personnel disabler. A short, ugly,
wide-barrelled launcher that fires a
"nano-net" grenade. The nano-net grenade
contains a proximity sensor that will cause the grenade to
release a carbon-nanotube net and entangle a target. The
net fibres employ a molecular structure that make them
extremely thin, tough, and resistant to cutting or
tearing. StunNet grades are also available that combine a
flashbang effect with the discharge of the net. |
| Grenade
Launcher |
1 |
Basically
huge-barrelled handguns whose projectiles deliver damage
through their payloads rather than through impact. The
actual launch may be an electrically initiated chemical
explosion or, in high tech versions, a gravitic field. A
typical example of a grenade launcher is the Volto-Avaiga Crippler,
a traditional chemical propellant type launcher that
launches EMP grenades or flashbangs that allow law
enforcement officials to non-destructively disable people
or vehicles. |
