New Sparta will deploy a new kinetic defensive weapon in the new year. The weapon uses inert metal warheads propelled by an electromagnetic cannon. The projectiles aim to overload ship shields through weight of firepower and kinetic energy.
The weapon will be deployed ideally where vast amounts of raw materials are available. The weapon system includes an automatic warhead fabricator to rebuild stocks almost as fast as they are expended. NS have not said where the weapon will be deployed first.
