Cron Horizon Air Siege Platform
The Cron Horizon produced this from private sketches and design notes
belonging to the designer of the in-famous, not to be confused with
infamous, Tromp Cannon. It was created as one of several latch ditch
efforts to keep the corporation from going bankrupt. It is a rather
large, ominous looking, silver airship with a definite majestic quality
to it. It has a rounded nose with a large reinforced polymerized trans-
paristeel canopy over the bridge that allows them to see out. It's body
pulls back into a large flatter segment with two prongs on either side of
it which rejoin the central segment at the back forming the engine kept
there. The ship looks almost like the baby brother to a Mon Calamari
Cruiser.
It's main siege arsenal comes from the tromp cannons that are scattered
across the main segment of the ship which fire down at ground based targets
delivering massive damage. Small time blaster cannons swing all about the
sides bristling to protect the airship from enemy airspeeders. Swinging
out off small missile rack blisters turreted missile launchers pivot in
all directions except up into the bulk of the ship. They can fire at air
or ground based targets with rapid precision and fast mounted servo-actuated
turrets allow quick swiveling of the turrets to track targets.
Finally, the grand finale weapon is the Molecular Phase Shifter array. It
disrupts molecular cohesion over a widespread area. The weapon takes a
long time to be prepped and charged but may then run continuously for a
sizeable amount of time. Targets, ships, speeders, building and other such
things will eventually crumble to dust in the path of the array's invisible
cone of destruction. The weapon takes so long to charge, use, recharge,
and use again that it's usually saved as a killing blow. Several warlords
bought up lots of these for their private armies keeping the Cron Horizon
comfortably in business a while longer.
