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:
“The weapon of the Republic is terror, and virtue is its strength.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
