While the Pirhana MkIISS had a decent range (20 miles), it was less than the ADCAP that it replaced. The Imperial Navy Research & Development Corp has ben working for years to upgrade the range on the Navy's supercav torpedos and has finally succeeded in increasing the range in enough of an increment to introduce a new version of the torpedo. Production has already begun and priority has been given to the 4th Imperial Fleet for delivery.

You know, your lucky you are 2020 tech or I would BS on that range of yours :d

Ab-shalom and humble greetings,

How much to relieve your military of the burden of those now obsolete Pirhana MkIISS torpedoes? We would gladly take them off your hands, particularly if you could supply statistics of their use?

Our reason is simple - we are a small nation, in part nordic in origin, who seeks peaceful co-existance with our neighbors. Peace through superior firepower is one of the better kinds.

Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

Namaste,
Raahmid Javani
Grand Vizier,
Humble Servant of His Magnificence, the Sultan of Vastiva

While the Imperial Navy thanks you for your interest, I must decline this request. It is standard Imperium policy to keep naval weapons, even ones that no longer have primary deployment, in a servicable condition in case it is necessary to use them again during wartime. I suggest you make your interest in supercav torpedos known to the international community, there are several nations that manufacture them and would be happy to make sales.
