The Hydrogen-Land Brotherhood Arms Corporation (BAC) has just approved the release of Hydrogen-Land Detonation-Ready-Energy-Drones (DREDs) to the public and national governments, information below:

DRED Classic
Item Code: H-LBACDRED1
Description: The first DRED ever created by the Hydrogen-Land government, it features a simple design with devestating capabilities. The DRED has a box shape, a large containment area holds powerful Hydrogen explosives. Small booster jets are located on the underside of the craft that enable it to maneuver with ease. A ramming tool is located on the front, when the DRED is released, it will target a craft, attach to it, and then the ramming mechanism thrusts the explosives towards the craft, making the ensuing explosion. DREDs are excellent attack craft because of their simple design, cheap materials, and devestating attack, the only downside their slow speed. All DREDs are powered by Hydrogen-Land drone technology.
Price (General Credits): 9000 Credits each

EMP DRED (E-DRED)
Item Code: H-LBACDRED1.5
Description: The E-DRED is a normal DRED Classic that is used for destroying shields. It replaces the explosives with powerful EMPs that will destroy shields quickly and easily, used best in cooperation with DRED Classics.
Price: 9000 Credits each

Needle DRED (N-DRED)
Item Code: H-LBACDRED2
Description: A new addition to the DRED family,the Needle DRED runs on a similar premise of the classic, explosives located in the lower-most end of the N-DRED detonate on impact. A major renewal effort was put into the N-DRED however, instead of the traditional square shape, a longer, more slender body was built, with a strong point attached to the tip, the N-DRED can easily pierce through thick hulls and shielding. Jets are located on either side of the N-DRED, and explosives are held in a smaller, more streamlined box at the end. This limits the amount of explosives capable of being stored, but also makes the N-DRED lighter, faster, and equivilently as deadly as the original.
Price: 10000 Credits each

Link DRED (LK-DRED)
Item Code: H-LBACDRED3
Description: Link DREDs aren't new technology perse, but have new possibilities. LK-DREDs are made up of a linking box, filled with explosives, two N-DREDs and one Classic, they link together to form a corvette sized multi-DRED capable of destroying friggates, and even parts of capital ships. The linking box carries much more explosive material than any singular DRED ship, and is very capable of large areas of destruction, caution is stressed.
Price (with DREDs): 25000 Credits each
Price (box alone): 5000 Credits each

Ground DRED (G-DRED)
Item Code: H-LBACDRED4
Description: The G-DRED is the first of DRED land craft, it is made up of a containment chamber, a plow, and treads. It moves moderately fast across terrain, can pick up small objects in it's plow to avoid unneccesary detonation. When the G-DRED comes in contact with large hostiles, it will detonate, causing widespread shockwaves and one concentrated explosion. While not as particularly usefull as the other DREDs, the G-DRED is excellent for taking out positions too dangerous for personnel.
Price: 11000 Credits each

DRED Carrier
Item Code: H-LBACCARRIERDRED
Description: The DRED Carrier is a large square ship of which twenty five DREDs may attach to, it has heavy energy shielding which protect itself and the DREDs from early detonation. These shields react with other shields to form a hole in shielding. The DRED Carrier comes in contact with shielding, releases the DREDs inside, and then the Carrier subsequently explodes. Very efficient for blowing holes strategically in large craft.
Price: 1 Million Credits each

Actually, It's not. First off, the DRED is my idea, so you can credit me for your plan to begin with. Secondly, the Needle DRED isn't just a normal dred with a point, it's a new shape, and purpose.

Being that it is a Kamikaze craft, few defensive capabilities were added to the DRED, it is assumed that if it is hit with a laser burst, it will continue to fly on it's course, anything above that could possibly destroy the craft.

I know we have disgussed this before, but an unmanned kamakazi craft is a missile or torpedo, however good its guidance is.

So be it, these are the most advanced and reliable Torpedos and Missiles you'll ever find, although last time I checked, DREDs were not launched from a tube or cannon.

Most missiles do not launch from tubes. Even ICBMs are launched from the ground level.

Wonderlust, but I consider the DRED much more than ammunition, it has many more uses beyond that of the simple missile or torpedo.

Like what, fly in, hit something, and explode?

I shouldn't bump this up, but I did.

I've said it once, but I suppose it needs restating:

The DRED may be classified as a missile, but in ability, useability, and precision, it is almost it's own catagory.
