Explanations

Flechette Launchers

The Flechette Launchers are the Galaxy Wide standard anti-missile system. They consist of tubes that propell shards of glass, reflective particles, duracrete, and durasteel into the paths of oncoming missiles. This reduces the effectiveness of a long range strike to 25%, and a short range strike to 50%.

History:

The Diamalan Blockade Carrier served as the mainstay for Diamal's fleet for quite sometime, being used as a frontline vessel against the ever dangerous Ishori. This carrier is designed mainly to take fighters into the combat zone, but can also engage in the fight it's self, if need be. The Blockade Carrier saw use against the Imperial fleet at the battle of Bothawui.
