The Great Empire of Destructos has today finished development of Project SkyStorm, a new ballistic missile bombardment system that is able to deliver a heavy bombardment to a large area. The way in which this works is in the missile dispersion system, each SkyStorm missile is surrounded by 8 separate missile containers, each containing 4 smaller missiles which can be filled with anything. When fired the containers are shot away from the main missile where they shatter and release the 4 missiles.
This method of dispersing the missiles means that the SkyStorm is inaccurate (in a sense that not all of the payload will hit one spot) but it gives the user much more control over the area he/she wishes to bombard based on when they initiate the launching of the containers, this also makes it very difficult to shoot down as the user can fire off the containers before a successful interception is made.
The SkyStorm is incredibly heavy (for a missile), which is where the multi fuel launch comes in. To get the SkyStorm airborne requires for all of the central missile's fuel to be used which in the initial tests proved to be detremental to targetting and as a result airborne flight is controlled by 4 of the missile containers, adapted to use the fuel of the missiles they contain. The plus side to this is the imporved accuracy but also means that only 4 missile containers can be used to independantly launch off of the main missile, allowing the SkyStorm to fire missiles on its way to its target. (A computerised image of the SkyStorm is attached)
Now I'm sure many of you are wondering why I, Emperor Dracus Khan have released this information to the public and it is for two reasons;
1) To show the world, especially the parts that don't agree with the way I rule, my scientific prowess and raw power!
2) To see how much interest my new masterpiece of destruction gets so I can make a decision as to wether or not to sell these ultimate weapons.
