Penetrator Missile Cruiser

Seeing the need to introduce a new cruiser into the PDF to boost its image
as a capable military force and the need to incorporate the new cruise
missiles into the Navy, the PDF contracted Kashan Systems to design a new
missile cruiser.

The Penetrator-class dedicated missile cruiser was designed with the sole
purpose of planetary assaults in mind. The Penetrator will enter the upper
atmosphere of a target planet and launch cruise missiles at specified points
within its range. When armed with nuclear weaponry, a single Penetrator can
lay waste to a planet with its cruise missiles, leaving most of it in a
radioactive state.

        Game Notes: Missiles available for use include the TCM I and TCM II
        which can both have variants suited for use in a vacuum. The TCM I
        does 3D/2D/1D capital scale damage with a blast radius of 30/20/10
        meters. The TCM II carries a high-yield nuclear warhead and does
        7D/5D/3D/1D physical damage AND 4D/3D/2D/1D (ionization) EMP damage
        over a 25/12/7/3 space unit and 50/25/15/5 atmospheric blast radius
        (radiation rules also apply).
