Bolitic demonstrate trans-phasic weapon

The Bolitic have joined the DDS and Dinos (who bought the DDS technology) in the trans-phasic weapons club. The Bolitic have demonstrated a prototype missile similar to the TPM in a test near Smolask. It was used to destroy an old transport that had wandered into their space loaded with desperate migrants. Hundreds of aliens were killed. While espionage cannot be ruled out DDS analysts think the weapon is not a copy of DDS technology though it has been reported the Bolitic have attempted this in the past.

Emperor Melson said the new weapon would be shared to all Bolitic houses and become a key part of the Bolitic war machine. Its not known how effective the missile is yet, first generation TPM weapons like the TPM-1 can now be negated by shield improvements, ECM and tactics by first rate powers though second (TPM-2) and third (Zip) generation trans-phasic weapons still give the DDS a tremendous advantage. However all weapons eventually get eclipsed and the DDS know it hence the continued great efforts to improve the technology.
