Missiles and Torpedoes
The Emissary is equipped with 8 Type 50 torpedo launchers and 8 PDMT Turrets. All these systems are linked to all of the ships sensors via the SKYGUARD automatic defence and attack system. A AI driven system that optimises and plans the military actions of the emissary. This system is also linked to the ships engines, electronic warfare systems and can be remote controlled from any part of the ship with a data connection. The system is simplified so much that in severe emergencies it can be operated from a hand PDA like a videogame.
600mm Type 50 Torpedo launcher
The primary long range armament of the Emissary, It allows the emissary to attack long range targets and can feature multiple lengths of torpedo. Typically firing the Mk series of torpedo. It is semi-universal across the SDCN with most differences being in the loading mechanism for the system. It is capable of firing a wide variety of torpedo payloads. Most of which rely on RADAR for terminal homing and have backup command line-of-sight guidance. Emissary along with her sister ship have a special type of torpedo designed for her and her specific fighting style
| Designation | Warhead | Effective (Maximum) Range (AU) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mk11B 'Artemis' | High Explosive | 1.45 (2) | High-explosive, base variant of the Mk11 that uses an 800kg TNT equivalent warhead. A useful all-rounder against targets large and small it has basic Electronic jamming and RADAR filters. Can be modified to use a LIDAR seeker however seeker will not have ECM resistance. First introduced in 2081 |
| Mk11G 'Hermes' | High Explosive | The modernised version post century, it is now equipped with improved ECM and ECCM systems to combat peer level threats. It also is equipped with a more intelligent AI computer which can calculate the most optimal attack profile on the fly as the target maneuverers and deploys countermeasures. | |
| Mk15E 'Zeus' | Electromagnetic Pulse | 0.5 (0.5) | A specialist weapon it is designed to perform anti-piracy work against modified civilian ships using the EMP to disable sensitive computer systems and disable main power, allowing a boarding party to board without risk of being struck by the fleeing vessel. It has extremely limited effectiveness on military ships as their systems will be EMP hardened and the EMP effect will only last for a short period of time on a ships sensors. |
| Mk21K 'Erebus' | Armour-Piercing | 0.8 (1.6) | A Armour piercing torpedo it is designed for use against heavily armoured targets (Space stations, Mobile shipyards and Battleships). It has limited damage due to the low high explosive content and the weight of the armour penetrator restricts range and acceleration. Features similar ECM and ECCM to the Mk11B |
| CRM-250 'Bastion' | High Explosive Armour Pericing | 3 (5) | A two stage heavy torpedo it uses a fusion drive first stage for long range cruising and a terminal stage with a extremely high thrust to weight ratio, ECCM, ECM and decoy launchers. It has a 2000kg TNT equivalent warhead inside a basic armour piercing container. Emissary can not load the whole torpedo. Must be dismantled into both stages and loaded individualy. |
| CRM-258 'Nova' | Thermonuclear | 3 (5) | Similar to the CRM-250 'Bastion' torpedo it is designed for use against strategic targets such as ports, colonies and military bases. It has a dial-a-yeild upto 4.8 megatons of TNT. It is also equipped with further decoy launchers. Emissary can not load the whole torpedo. Must be dismantled into both stages and loaded individualy. |
Point Defence Missile Turret
The PDM - 203 is a short range point defence missile designed to supplement the missile defence of emissary. They are designed to be cheaply mass produced and used en mass against huge swarms of enemy fast attack craft, Torpedo's and missiles. Each turret has 3 missiles loaded at one time and can fire and guide all three at once.
| Designation | Warhead | Effective (Maximum) Range (km) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDM203-RF | Fragmentation | 2000 (5200) | Missile variant that detonates into millions of particles of radar-reflective chaff, intended to disorient conventional radar tracking systems. |
| PDM203-IR | Fragmentation | 2000 (5200) | High explosive proximity-fused missile designed to lock onto incoming missiles and take them out of action before they can strike the home ship. Fragments on detonation to increase the likelihood of damaging an incoming kill vehicle. |
| PDM203-N | Shaped Thermonuclear | 1520 (3200) | A nuclear equiped variant of the PDM |
