Z7 finally makes debut

With the latest 2 Mediterranean Sea 43G upgrades the DDS has quietly accepted the long awaited Z7 cannon into service. The Z7 is the third generation Z Cannon (if one accepts that the Z6 was a stop gap "generation 2.5" weapon) though in reality is completely new due to its unique interphase technology.

The Z7 (which was originally called the Zip of Z InterPhase) can defeat shields and defences by changing the phase of the beam until it reaches the target. Its a similar concept to the TPM family though has to be exactly targeted in order to get the phase correct. Tests of the Z7 in the Summer shows its potential. A target which required 6 sustained bursts from a Z6 to batter down the shields and then destroy the target just took the 1 shot when correctly targeted. The DDS say the Z7 is another game changer and helps keep the DDS at the cutting edge of military technology.
  • Following talks held between ISSF Commander Torus and Senator MBH (via video-link) the DDS alert status has been reduced to GREEN. The SS are said to be placated by the deaths of Windy and SFX and will not be seeking revenge (though there have been some unsavoury incidents on Dino-Land where human males unfortunately got too close to SS bases...) Both the DDS and Dinos are now keen to move on.
