Firewasp refers to a type of guided, supermaneuverable kinetic projectile typically accelerated by means of mounted rail-gun, used by the Vokyran Ascendancy. This ballistic weapon is known for its extremely high-degree of accuracy, even on moving targets.
Scientific Data
Propulsion
The primary means of propulsion for the Firewasp projectile are the fixed rail-gun launchers that fire them. While they are equipped with graviton thrusters that technically can propel them, these thrusters are virtually always used to maneuver the projectiles, and guide them accurately to their targets.
Payloads
A variety of payloads are available for these weapons, including standard impactors, explosive variants, "shotgun" variants that explode close to the target and pepper it with high-velocity debris, and even plasma-type shield-buster variants.
History
The Firewasp is an extremely old weapon for the Vokyran Ascendancy, built upon weapons that were originally employed by the Currai Imperium. The form resembling the modern versions first appeared as a weapons development by the Enlightened Ones after the Imperium Fell.
