Weapon Systems
- Hakaga-class carrier: six times as dangerous as a conventional carrier, but only twice as armored and seven times more expensive. What becomes of the unfinished seven is unknown.
- IFF Missile: not an Image-Recognition warhead, and not a Friend-or-Foe warhead, but... Both. This Kilrathi round, first used on Hunter by a Strakha stealth fighter spying in Landreich territory, is fire and forget, but cannot be spoofed using any sort of traditional electronic countermeasures decoy. Paladin later reprograms a chaff decoy to put out the transponder signal of a capital ship, which does distract IFF rounds. What becomes of these missiles after the Battle of Earth is not known.

Famous quotes containing the words weapon and/or systems:
“Temptation is the woman’s weapon and the man’s excuse.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
