Torpedo Launcher

Weapon intended for use underwater during the Tebburus Unification War. It was designed to use 2 main forms of ammunition:

High Explosive, which craetes a large shockwave in all directions around it. These torpedoes are designed to home in on heat signatures as the Suon body temperature is comparitively high. If the heat signature is a bout to fall behind the rocket (such as when it misses) it is designed to trigger detonation, killing all lifeforms that cannot survive the overpressure wave in a large radius.

Armour Piercing, designed to give infantry a weapon to counter warships or larger vehicles. The shockwave in an AP torpedo is sent in a very tight cone, reducing its area of effect but also allows it to punch a hole through almost all armour. It will not detonate if it misses.

There are now more modern versions of tis weapon. Many of these variants are designed to be used by different species of the HF, such as Saelians or even Togroid, whose anatomies can vary massively. Modern versions are more accurate and far more powerful, being made with the much more advanced modern technology of the Hyperion Federation as opposed to industrial or information era unification war suon technology. They are commonly used by almost all species of underwater infantry including robots, and sometimes as a secondary submarine armament in turrets, giving them a powerful crowd control ability. These later veriants also have acess to a much wider range of ammunition in a similar way as the Photon Missile, allowing them to serve a multitude of roles.
