A terrible accident with an excellent gain

12-11-2003, 06:56
Chlorophusion technology has existed for some time now... a complex form of organic fusion, with many qualities yet to be discovered. The Capsule Corporation has used it for quite a while, but had never experimented with it much before...at least not at this level.

It was a catastrophic explosion, in orbit of a remote colony. The Capsule Corporation had done their best to cover up the incident, but surely it would get out soon enough.

The Capsule Corporation uses a number of weapons and drives technologies that amplify the power of the Chloro drives through heavy arrays of capacitors. But for some reason, during a heavy fold operation, something short circuited. A Moroni-Class battleship was forced to abort for unknown reasons, just before initiating a space fold. All capacitors required to power the massive drives had been charged. Usually, the capacitors would be dissipated through the shields or the engines or the weapons or wherever they could be needed, but for some reason, the power was discharged straight into the Chlorophusion Control Chamber.

Needless to say, a fusion reactor is not something you want to pump energy into. This is when a yet-unseen property of Chlorophusion surfaced.

The Control chamber took the high amounts of energy straight into the cells, bypassing every normal safety, and soon enough, the control chamber exploded, every cell sending out its entire lifespan of energy at once. The explosion left the crew of the ship absolutely no chance to survive as an explosion with the force of 3 gigatons ripped the ship apart and sent a shockwave down to the planet, killing many on the surface and destablizing the Ozone layer and electromagnetic field.

Crews are currently working on rescuing the people remaining on the planet.


This, obviously, has started the capsule corporation on a secret program to develop chloro bombs. They had always hoped there would be some sort of direct explosive property to these cells, and now they had found it... and to believe it wasn't really that hard to see.

Weapons are in development which can be used in standard missiles, evolving the Capsule Corporation's missile warheads from normal anti-matter to Chlorophusion detonators. The average corvette missile will have the force of 5 megatons, while capital missiles will have a force anywhere from 25 Megatons all the way up to a 1 gigaton.

They hope to see the missiles in mass production for the Capsule Military very soon, but they have no intention of selling them to other nations at this time.

IC Knowledge to all:

CCNN Report: With Capsule Corporation's newest expansion onto many other planets, naturally, Chlorophusion is being grown and harvested as much as any food produce. It has turned out to be CC's most valuable asset on the intergalactic market.

Mass production has begun, and many of the Capsule Corporation ships are being loaded with them.

News of their existance has most likely reached other nations by now. (not news of their mechanics...)

OOC:

I doubt anyone is going to let you use a 1,000 gigaton weapon on them.

Since most people don't care to have you say "we launch <name of big ass weapon here> at you" and then later have you say "it's a weapon strong enough to destroy your whole nation."

Thanks for pointing that out.
