Official Name: X7J Advanced Deterrent Torpedo
Nickname: Reaper Claw
Serial: Xp7j:287

The X7J is a fire and forget torpedo designed to strike fear in the hearts of enemies. The torpedo, two and a half meters in length, consists of multi-stage sections. The weapon burns a retro-ionization cell for propulsion, causing a trail of blue dust to settle in its wake, mainly designed for fear. The weapon travels at near light speeds, constantly doing micro jumps via a micro-aero-hyperdrive, engineered by Maverick labs specifically for this weapon. The weapon builds enough speed to do serious damage on its own. Once the weapon nears enemy shields, an ALF burst allows it to pass, then, once it’s near the hull, the forward section explodes, releasing an extreme burst of concentrated plasma, followed by a second explosion as the weapon touches the super heated hull, effectively burning a hole to continue through.

Once the XJ7 has entered the enemy craft, the engine falls off, exploding from excess heat, unleashing its fury on the hull with an ionization reaction capable of knocking out surrounding equipment for a 5-meter radius. The center section of the torpedo continues, “bouncing” in. Proximity sensors quickly measure the room, and, once the weapon has entered the center, its main charge explodes, releasing shrapnel in all directions, as well as a virtual firestorm.

The X7J is specially designed to launch from planet side, having enough kick in its engines to propel it the required distance and against the properly estimated friction. Several X7J prototypes have been equipped on craft using fast fire racks, enabling them to be used in space.

The X7J is approved for testing on all craft with commanders willing to use this new technology.

Shipments: Omerose is pounding out a shipment of 10 X7J launchers and over 200 X7J torpedoes.
