Breakthrough in ADI Rocketry!!
Zulu Warrior Rocketry, an undercorporation under the auspices of African Defense Industries ltd., has perfected their prototype for a medium-range(40 light years is an approx. estimate) inter-planetary cruise missile. Their destructive capability outruns any missile ever made by ADI, and the ZWR corporation still retains the right to perform preliminary background checks before selling the ADI-AS-400 missile(appropriately named "Apocalypse") to potential deploying nations. ADI manufactorers are currently working on the first 20 Apocalypses, and more are to be manufactured to accomodate buyers.
ADI-AS-400 "Apocalypse" Inter-Planetary Ballistic Missile
Unit cost: 200 million USD apiece.
Length: 100m
Body: Diameter 13m
Wingspan: 25m
Launch Weight: 400.000 kilogram
Warhead: 6000kT nuclear, or customizable
Guidance: Preprogrammed autopilot control.
Propulsion: ADI-Aero2 5-stage liquid incorporating H2N
Range: 40 light years, give or take a few.
Accuracy: Within 10-100 kilometers of designated target continent.
No. of Manufacture: One.
No. of Deployment: None thus far.
Design: Zulu Warrior Projects.
Manufacture: African Defense Industries, Rocketry dept.
Customizable for following systems:
ADI-M-12 "Old Faithful"(Default munition for the Apocalypse IPBM)
6000kT Nuclear Warhead. Needs no further introduction...
ADI-M-13 "Old Dirty B*stard"
5000kT Neutronium Warhead. Ideal for nuking out personnel while keeping base facilities and defense hardware intact.
ADI-M-22 "Fragmentation Storm"
180 ton THEAFDS(Tungsten-shrapnel/High Explosive Alloy Fragmentation Dispersal system) warhead. Will literally destroy any major metropolis it targets with a storm of explosive rock and metal fragments – Any buildings, defensive installations or large vehicles and grounded aerospace craft in the area of detonation is shredded beyond salvation. WILL cause massive casualties among both civilian and military personnel, so be prepared for heated response.
ADI-M-VX "Choking Victim"
Named after an obscure band that most of the design team listens to, the ADI-M-VX warhead contains 100.000 litres of deadly advanced VX nerve agent, as well as a dispersal unit that will spread the gas into the lower atmospheric layers. While completely lethal to all humans, humanoid aliens and to all facilities, buildings and armored aircraft/tanks/mechs that do not have exceedingly high quality life support, it will not destroy armor, fortifications or shields in any capacity, and will probably leave lethal pockets of gas for years to come.
ADI-M-40 "Flaming Death"
150 ton White Phospherous warhead. Suffer your enemies to die in agony as the flesh melts from their bones! Will take out all infantrymen in the immediate vicinity of impact – even power armored troopers and most light and medium armored vehicles will be incapacitated as their crew are cooked alive and the carapace turned into so much molten slag. Note: This warhead is deadly effective against personnel and will destroy centres of civilian population with ease, but large tanks, fighter craft and mechs can survive these weapons.
ADI-M-52 "Vortex"
Massive 160-ton Electro-Magnetic Pulse generator. Upon activation, a powerful electromagnetic pulse will kill all electric systems and power plants(as well as several other power systems, such a nuclear, cold fusion and fossile generators), causing blackouts and mechanic military incapacitation within at least 500 miles in all directions from point of impact.
