Mkay, so, after bush fires, Chimpanzees have been observed treading into the ashen wastelands and digging up cooked tubers and b e a n s, which are easier to digest, so perhaps that can symbolize productivity from the areas where the fires once raged?

And on the note of fires, forest fires often allow for new growth, and old-growth redwoods may live through many fires as the debris is cleared away and the weaker trees are consumed by the flames, and these areas cleared out by flame often are bolstered by the nutrients as new growth flourishes through the forest floor, so adding a bit of tat could cause the fire to actually heal the lands once its done, y'know, making the floor literally lava.

How those are infused? I dunno. Up to your interpretation, I presume.

Okay yes excellent points! However, the malicious cause of your big Cthulhu fire might cancel out the usual hope involved.

Love the focus on renewal though. These are explicitly meant to be used on demon-infested land, so the return of normal life afterwards is very much a priority.

You couldn't pay me to take that design into a combat airzone...

H-hey my aircraft are amazing.

Kerrygold pauses for a few seconds before a smile slowly creeps across his face. After ensuring his phone was reduced to a brick while still using the double VPN, he takes off his mask and pulls out a fresh SIM for a young Volinivian student, and makes a call on a burner phone.

"This is - sorry... This is Harper Nest, tell Queen Bee that the wasps have smelled the honey. I'll be taking the long way home, keep some soup on for me alright?"

Kerrygold hangs up and returns his attention to his laptop, which had finished it's operation and finalized the hack. With a flourish, he clicks the enter key and hijacks the Live broadcast. His mask now off, he looks into his personal camera with a sh*t eating grin, and sees the grin repeated in the corner of his eye. Holding up the mask in his left hand, and making a fist in his right, Kerrygold begins to speak.

"Citizens of Volinova, do not be alarmed. I gave the station a chance to allow me to speak. It seems I had to invite myself on. I'll be brief. FRAWED is indeed responsible for the blast, but not in the way you may think. This man acted alone, and only through my actions was this attack not more deadly. This button-" He holds open his hand to reveal a small buzzer sized device. "-Is the reason 30 people or more walked away with nothing more to show for their trouble than a new scar. While I am aware you don't condone the actions of one such as I, what I did today was for a love of life and a appreciation of a national sport, not a lack of empathy or a love of pain. I only wish to say this: FRAWED does not stop so low as to massacre innocent bystanders and children, like the lowly mimic groups that are run by your governments and claim to be FRAWEDian in nature. We do not take low hanging fruit like a Soccer stadium or a Civic center. All actions of this nature are not our organization: You have been lied to by your own government. Stew on that is all I ask. Thank you for your time. I am Kerrygold Volsky, and I wish you all a pleasent evening."

He lowers his head in a bow, and in the same motion cuts his feed, returning control to the news station, who appear to be in a state of frenzy. Sighing, he sits down in his chair and waits, knowing they will trace the source of his hack to this room. Kerrygold does not fear death, or capture, but relishes in the idea of it. A brand new adventure for him to embark, and a new chapter in his life he gets to unravel.

Dang that was a good move. Well played.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON THE BOMBING OF PARAGOULD STADIUM


“At 11:30VST Paragould Police Officers at the Paragould Stadium reported an explosion. Officers immediately called for Fire Department and Federal Assistance in finding out what happened. We quickly learned that an individual was responsible for this bombing. The individual had used a suicide vest and was planning to go into the stadium to do more damage. Thankfully his vest detonated prematurely in the parking lot. The blast only caused vehicle fires and some minor injuries. Paragould Fire Department quickly made it to the scene and put out any vehicle fires before they could turn into secondary explosions. During this time the Paragould Stadium was also evacuated. All person(s) were accounted for and no one was injured during the evacuation. FRAWED, a terrorist organization that has recently resurfaced has taken responsibility for this incident. Claiming that they saved lives. If their story is true, and they are the reason that the individual’s vest prematurely detonated. Then they are correct. Lives were saved by that action. We here at the Paragould Police Department offer Kerrygould Volsky immunity if he will come speak to us about the events of today. This is all we know at this time.”

Well, I was kinda hoping that because of the Intent was to end the war and causing an entire island filled with unique organisms to go up in smoke was more an unintended biproduct that looking back on it was inevitable but they didn't do the calculations so I guess hubris was involved and the two more positive additions would help at least balance it out? I'm sure I can also figure out more ways in which it can be made a bit more better after the fire has raged buuuuut.... I dunno.

Hmm. Makes sense but I'll still probably use ashes from a natural fire instead, to reduce the number of potential problems.

That would probably be for the best as we don't need more lunatics running around or the Daemons getting any ideas-
Say, throw in some of the Fortiscarab epoxy. It protected them for hundreds of years, and if you brew a sub-potion that basically makes it so that this fire will protect innocents in a "cocoon" before going ahead and deleting all life around them would probably be for the best. I reckon that like with chemistry, you will want to brew proprietary potions so that you can eventually reached the desired goal.

Also, wood wasps lay eggs in burned trees after wild fires, so, I guess that would mean at least b u g s can come back after the fire.

Kerrygold remained seated in his chair as the announcement went over the airwaves, and smiling even more he picks up his phone, and dials the Police precinct.

"You wanted me to talk? Room 814, Mariot Building in downtown, two blocks from the stadium. Come unarmed, and I'll go willingly to answer your questions. Come with anything more than a tazer, and I'll be dead before you cross the threshold. You have an hour."

Before the stunned operator can even respond he hangs up, and leans back into his chair. All according to plan, and all according to Ulysses. Ullah willing, they wouldn't dare be fools. The world has enough people trying to play hero, and too many who lie cold and unmoving because of that charade.

Probably should have posted these as well

Eònan Industries brings you the córas féinghluaiste frith-aerárthach-23-4 (anti-aircraft self-propelled system)

The CFFA-23-4 is a lightly armoured Battanic self propelled, radar guided anti-aircraft weapon system (SPAAG) armed with 4 high rate of fire 23 mm 2A7 autocannons. The CFFA-23-4 can travel over just about any terrain, but is much more suited for flat plains and deserts. With it's state of the art radar technology, it's great for aerial denial.

The radar-guided CFFA-23-4 "Bogha Iarainn" (Iron Bow) SPAAG, with its four 23 mm (0.90") autocannons, is a revolutionary SPAAG, proving to be an extremely effective weapon against enemy attack aircraft and helicopters under every weather and light condition. The CFFA-23-4 has a very high density, rate and accuracy of fire, as well as the capability for each of the four autocannons to fire its own type of projectile from separate belts. While it is technically possible that each cannon shoots different type of ammunition, there is two types commonly: OFZT incendiary fragmentation and BZT armour-piercing tracer, which are to be loaded in 3:1 ratio—three OFZT, then one BZT, every 10th BZT round equipped with so-called "copper remover" and marked. Operators were strongly discouraged from shooting from a single barrel.

The CFFA-23-4 has the capability to both acquire and track low-flying aircraft targets, with an effective AA range of 2,500 meters. It also is capable of firing on the move because of its integrated radar/gun stabilization system

The appearance of the "Bogha Iarainn" is predicted to cause significant changes in the tactics of aircraft use at low altitude over the battlefield. Despite its present obsolescence as a modern short-range anti-aircraft weapon, the CFFA-23-4 is still deadly for enemy light armoured vehicles, infantry and firing points as an infantry-support vehicle. With its high rate of accurate fire, the CFFA-23-4 can even neutralize tanks by destroying their gun sights, radio antennas, or other vulnerable parts. CFFA-23-4s have excellent performance and good systems reliability.

Based on the GM-575 tracked vehicle chassis, which used components from the decommissioned PT-76 light amphibious tank, the CFFA-23-4 mounts an armoured turret holding four liquid-cooled 23 mm (0.9") 2A7 autocannons linked to an RPK-2 "Tobol" radar. The vehicle weighs 19 tonnes (late modifications up to 21 tonnes), has a movement range of 450 km (280 mi) and a top speed of 50 km/h (31 mph). Additional firepower of late modifications can be supplied by a roof-mounted pod of six short-range SA-18 SAMs, or side-mounted SA-16s.

The crew numbers four: driver, commander, gunner and radar operator. The driver's compartment is located in the nose part of the vehicle. The fighting compartment is in the centre, and the engine compartment is in the rear part of the vehicle.

The CFFA-23-4 can cross vertical obstacles 0.7 m (2.3') high, trenches 2.5 m (8.2') wide, has a 1.0 m (3.3') fording depth and can climb 30° gradients. The CFFA-23-4 has good manoeuvrability and cross-country ability, but its diesel engine's power is insufficient for a vehicle of its weight. As a result, off-road acceleration capabilities are sub-par, and the vehicle lags behind MBTs and IFVs on up-hill terrain.

The Óglaigh na Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Defence Force or OB) were is now the current standing army of the Provisional Army of Battania, replacing the Arm an Phobail de Battania (Keltic: People's Army of Battania or APB) after the downfall of the Poblacht Battanic Saor (Keltic: Free Battanic Republic) at the end of the 4th Battanic Civil War (13th November 2031 - 15th Febuary 2032). Since the military was directly involved with the creation of the Rialtas Sealadach na Battania (Keltic: Provisional Government of Battania) and its leaders are all experienced military men, the OB went under massive reorganisation and changing its image on the international stage. The OB incorporated the Scuad Cosanta an Phobail (People's Defence Squad or SCP) that are notorious for their brutal and effective interrogation methods but reformed them into the more professional and elite Sciathán Saoiste an Airm (Keltic: Army Ranger Wing or SSA/Rangers). Another service branch of the Fórsaí Talún Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Ground Forces or FTB) is the Fórsaí Aerbheirthe Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Airborne Forces or FAB) who are the main paratrooper branch of Battania. The Aerfhórsa Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Air Force or AB) remained relatively untouched, but the Fórsa Muirí Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Maritime Force or FMB) finally established as a separate service branch from the Aerfhórsa Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Air Force or AB). The Aerfhórsa Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Air Force or AB) itself is a parent branch to two other services, the Óglaigh na hÉireann Aeir agus Diúracáin Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Air and Missile Defence Forces or OEADB) tasked with the defence of Battanic air space via through MANPADs and other land-based anti-air and anti-missile devices. The other branch is the Fórsaí Diúracáin Straitéiseacha Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Strategic Missile Forces or FDSB) whose objective is the control Battania's land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

Structure and Organisation

Due to the Provisional Government being ruled by a diarchy and therefore having two head of states, the Surpreme Commander-in-Chief is elected by the Comhairle Riaracháin an Stáit (Keltic: State Administrative Council) from one of the two Head of States during times of war. However, the key decisions regarding the usage of the OB. However, the Comhairle Riaracháin an Stáit (Keltic: State Administrative Council) is still has the ultimate authority, with officers and personnel swearing allegiance not to the state of the diarchy, but to the Battanic People.

The Ministry of Defence is the Government department and highest level of military headquarters charged with formulating and executing defence polices for the armed forces; it currently employs 23,420 civilian staff as of 9 January 2032. The Ministry of Defence contains three deputy appointments: Minister of State for the Armed Forces, Minister for Defence Procurement, and Minister for Veterans' Affairs. Responsibility for the management of the forces is delegated to a number of committees: the Defence Council, Chiefs of Staff Committee, Defence Management Board and three single-service boards. The Defence Council, composed of senior representatives of the services and the Ministry of Defence, provides the "formal legal basis for the conduct of defence". The two constituent single-service committees ( Army Board and Air Force Board) are chaired by the Secretary of State for Defence.

The Fórsaí Talún Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Ground Forces or FTB) are a professional force with a strength of 150,000 active personnel and 37,500 Reservists that can be called upon at any time. The two smaller branches of the Fórsaí Talún Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Ground Forces or FTB), the Fórsaí Aerbheirthe Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Airborne Forces or FAB) has 24,000 active and reserve personnel while the Sciathán Saoiste an Airm (Keltic: Army Ranger Wing or SSA/Rangers) has been reduced from 17,000 to now 3,000.

The Aerfhórsa Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Air Force or AB) has a total of 400 aircraft and 37,000 pilots, staff, and other air control personnel. The Aerfhórsa Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Air Force or AB) itself is the parent of two more service branches, the Óglaigh na hÉireann Aeir agus Diúracáin Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Air and Missile Defence Forces or OEADB) and the Fórsaí Diúracáin Straitéiseacha Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Strategic Missile Forces or FDSB). The Óglaigh na hÉireann Aeir agus Diúracáin Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Air and Missile Defence Forces or OEADB) comprises of 18,600 personnel operating numerous radar sites and anti-air stations across Battania and with permission from other EATDU and SETO members, the OEADB will open new radar sites and anti-air stations in countries such as the Kampf Empire and Kilkire. The Fórsaí Diúracáin Straitéiseacha Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Strategic Missile Forces or FDSB) has only 6,400 personnel who man the missile silos and missile defence stations in Battania 24/7.
The Fórsa Muirí Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Maritime Force or FMB) was established as its own service branch to act mainly as a riverine guard and lake guard though was able to become a navy thanks to the donations from the Kingdom of Cardonia. The Fórsa Muirí Battanic (Keltic: Battanic Maritime Force or FMB) consists of a total of 26 ships and 3,000 personnel.



Equipment


Rifles

Raidhfil Uathoibríoch Solas (Keltic: Light Automatic Rifle or RUS)

DESCRIPTION: Most RUS feature a folding bipod, and use a plastic stock rather than wood in order to reduce weight in the later production rifles (although some of the early RUS-built production rifles did come with wooden stocks). The rifle can be distinguished by its combination flash suppressor and grenade launcher. The foregrip is a two-part steel pressing. Some RUSs had modifications made to the fire mode selector so that the fully automatic option was removed, leaving the selector with only safe and single-shot position

Swenyrn Raidhfil Arm Uilíoch (Keltic: Swenyrn Universal Army Rifle or Swenyrn RAU)

DESCRIPTION: The Swenyrn RAU is a selective-fire, bullpup weapon with a conventional gas-piston-operated action that fires from a closed bolt. It is designed as a Modular Weapon System that could be quickly configured as a rifle, a carbine, a sniper rifle, a sub-machine gun and even an open-bolt squad automatic weapon. The Swenyrn RAU employs a very high level of advanced firearms technology and is made with the extensive use of polymers and aluminium components. It is chambered in 5.56×45mm cartridge and has the standard 1:9 rifling twist that will stabilise both SS109/M855 and M193 rounds.

The submachine gun variants are chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum. The Swenyrn RAU consists of six interchangeable assemblies: the barrel, receiver with integrated telescopic sight or Picatinny rail, bolt carrier assembly, trigger mechanism, stock and magazine.

Submachine Guns

Cuideachta Tionscail Battanc MPX (Keltic: Battanic Industrial Company MPX or CTB MPX)

DESCRIPTION: The standard variant of the MPX comes with an 8.0 inch (20.3 cm) barrel and is chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge. It comes with a collapsible stock and a free-floating rail. It has a cyclic rate of fire of 850 rounds per minute (RPM).

The MPX is also available with different barrel lengths, ranging from 114 to 406mm (4.5- to 16-inch). The MPX submachine gun is only available for military and law enforcement use, while a semi-automatic only version is also available for the civilian market.

The MPX has a short-stroke gas piston system in order to increase the accuracy of the weapon which operates in closed bolt. It is designed in this way to prevent water or dirt from entering the chamber and causing malfunctions as well as to use a suppressor with greater ease. It features an ambidextrous selector switch for fully automatic (law enforcement/military models) and semi-automatic. It also features an ambidextrous bolt catch, and the barrel is free-floating and is surrounded by polymer/steel M-LOK mounts.

Squad Automatic Weapons

Gunna Meaisín Mini Tionscail Eònan (Keltic: Eònan Industries Mini Machine Gun or EI Mini)

DESCRIPTION: The EI Mini has a manually adjustable gas valve with two positions, normal and adverse. The adverse setting increases the cyclic rate of fire from 700–850 rounds per minute to 950–1,150 rounds per minute and is used only in extreme environmental conditions or when heavy fouling is present in the weapon's gas tube. The spring extractor is located inside the bolt, while the tilting lever ejector is contained inside the receiver housing. Spent casings are removed through a port located at the bottom of the right side of the receiver, protected from debris with a spring-loaded dust cover. The EI Mini is striker-fired and the bolt carrier functions as the striker mechanism.

Heavy Machine Guns

Mionsamhail 2 Béar (Keltic: Model 2 Bear or M2)

DESCRIPTION: The M2 is an air-cooled, belt-fed machine gun. The M2 fires from a closed bolt, operated on the short recoil principle. The M2 fires the .50 BMG cartridge, which offers long range, accuracy, and immense stopping power. The closed bolt firing cycle made the M2 usable as a synchronized machine gun on aircraft from the early 1930s and to the present day.

Sniper Rifles

Eònan Mionsamhail 82 (Keltic: Eònan model 82 or M107)

DESCRIPTION: The Eònan M82, standardized by the Battanic military as the M107, is a recoil-operated, semi-automatic anti-materiel precision rifle developed by Eònan Industries. Despite its designation as an anti-materiel rifle, it is also used as an anti-personnel system. The M107 variant is also called the Light Fifty for its .50 BMG chambering and significantly lighter weight compared to previous applications and the 15% heavier base M82 model. The weapon is fitted with a muzzle brake designed to accept a suppressor and made out of titanium instead of steel

Shotguns

Fannoi Gunna gráin Uathoibríoch Cuspóir Speisialta 2031 (Keltic: Fannoi Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun 2031 or GUCS-31)

DESCRIPTION: The GUCS-31 is fed by a detachable box magazine. The gun features either a fixed black wooden stock, or a side folding metal stock. Both had the same pistol grip safety. Amongst Battanic troops the weapon is known by the nickname "An Eochair de an Commando" (the key of the commando) because it is used to blast the locks of closed doors.

Grenade Launchers

Tosaitheoir Grenade Tionscail Eònan 6 (Keltic: Eònan Industries Grenade Launcher-6 or TGTE-6)

DESCRIPTION: The TGTE-6 is designed to fire all standard 40mm "caseless" grenades. The TGTE-6 uses "caseless" rounds, and thus its cylinder is loaded from the front. The "barrel" is, in fact, a smoothbore tube, which served only as a support for front grip and sights. The cylinder is rotated using a clockwork-type spring, which is manually wound during reloading. For reloading, the front cylinder plate with the "barrel" tube is unlocked from the frame and then rotated sideways, to expose the front of the cylinder. Each chamber in the cylinder is a separate muzzle-loading rifled barrel.

Man-Portable Rocket Launchers

Madadh Duncans 8.4cm raidhfil gan staonadh (Keltic: Madadh Duncans 8.4cm recoilless rifle or RGS/8.4)

DESCRIPTION: DESCRIPTION: The basic weapon consists of the main tube with the breech-mounted Venturi recoil damper, with two grips near the front and a shoulder mount. The weapon is fitted with iron sights, but is normally aimed with the attached 3× optical sight with a 17 degree (300 mil) field of view. The most modern variants fielded by Battanic rifle companies have been fitted with the Empire of Dabiristan Aim point sighting system. Luminous front and rear sight inserts are available for the iron sights when aiming at night, and an image intensification system may also be used.

The O'Beirnei can be fired from the standing, kneeling, sitting or prone positions, and a bipod may be attached in front of the shoulder piece. An operating handle called the "Venturi lock" is used to move the hinged breech to one side for reloading

ATGMs

Sciath-148 (Keltic: Shield-148 or the Sciath)

DESCRIPTION: The Sciath-148 is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self-guidance. The system takes a top-attack flight profile against armoured vehicles (attacking the top armour, which is generally thinner), but can also take a direct-attack mode for use against buildings, targets inside the minimum top-attack engagement range, and targets under obstructions. The missile also has the ability to engage helicopters in the direct attack mode. It can reach a peak altitude of 150 m (500 ft) in top-attack mode and 60 m (190 ft) in direct-fire mode. It is equipped with an imaging infrared seeker. The tandem warhead is fitted with two shaped charges: a precursor warhead to detonate any explosive reactive armour and a primary warhead to penetrate base armour.

MANPADS

Saileach-1 (Keltic: Willow-1)

DESCRIPTION: The Williow-1's primary feature is its multispectral optical seeker, using three sensors - ultraviolet, near infrared, and mid-infrared. Cross-checking sensors against one another better discriminates between relevant targets and decoys, and decreases the chance of disruption from countermeasures, including lasers that attempt to blind missiles. The Willow-1 can engage fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and “new types of threats” such as unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles. The Willow-1's containerised 9M336 surface-to-air missile (SAM) can be integrated into ground- and sea-based short-range air-defence (SHORAD) systems.

Sidearms

Eònan 21

DESCRIPTION: The Eònan 21 is a .45 ACP designed primarily for The death syndicate market. Compared to the Eònan 20 chambered in 10mm Auto, the slide of the Eònan 21 is lighter to compensate for the lower-energy .45 ACP cartridge. The standard Eònan 21 magazine is of the single-position-feed, staggered-column type with a capacity of 13 rounds

Tionscail Eònan Cúig a seacht (Keltic: Eònan Industries Five-seven or EI 5x7)

DESCRIPTION: The EI 5x7 model has cocking serrations on the front of the slide, and has a one-piece metal slide (under the polymer cover). It is available only with adjustable sights. The rear sight on the adjustable-sight version has also been changed, with beefed-up construction and white straight-edge sight references compared to the present three-dot target-style sights; these have been described as "combat adjustable sights".

Grenades

OFFENSIVE: M67 Grenade

DESCRIPTION: The M67 grenade has a spheroidal steel body that contains 6.5 oz (180 g) of composition B explosive. It uses the M213 pyrotechnic delay fuze. The M67 grenade weighs 14 oz (400 g) in total and has a safety clip to prevent the safety pin on the grenade from being pulled accidentally. The safety pin prevents the safety lever, or "spoon" on the grenade from moving and releasing the spring-loaded striker which initiates the grenade's fuse assembly.

DEFENSIVE: M84 Stun Grenade

DESCRIPTION: The M84 features a magnesium-based pyrotechnic charge inside a thin aluminium case, contained within a perforated cast steel body. Unlike the high explosives (HE) used in traditional ordnance, the pyrotechnic charge produces a subsonic deflagration, not a supersonic detonation, minimizing the blast effects. On initiation the auditory and visual elements of the deflagration being permitted to escape via the perforations in the cast outer body. This design minimizes the risk of collateral damage due to flame, blast and unconsumed fragments of the inner case.

Towed Artillery

Gunna Éadrom 105 (Keltic: 105 Light Gun or GE105)

DESCRIPTION: The narrow wheelbase prevents the ordnance rotating the 3200 mil (180°) required to 'unfold' the gun. Because of this, the gun features a knock-off hub on one side allowing the ordnance to be rotated by removing one wheel. With a well trained gun crew, this contributes approximately 30 seconds to the time required to deploy the gun. In British service, rotating the barrel for towing is optional. When being towed in the unfolded position, the A-frame is fitted to the front transom in order to support the elevating mass. A recent modification makes it possible to keep the gun in this position indefinitely at speeds up to 40 mph (64 km/h). For long distance transport or traversing rough terrain, the barrel is reversed and clamped to the end of the trail. For storage, the gun is in the unfolded position with the barrel elevated to an angle that balances the elevated mass on the yoke and therefore relieves pressure on the elevating gears. The 105 mm Fd Mk 2 ammunition has two propelling cartridges and a blank cartridge (for saluting purposes). The normal cartridge has six propellant increments (charges 1, 2, 3, 4, 4½, and 5). Charge 4½, which is charge 5 with the blue charge three bag removed, is peculiar to the light gun and is used only for high angle fire. A separate "charge super" cartridge is used for firing to maximum range.

Anti-tank Guided Missiles

Spike

DESCRIPTION: The missile uses a tandem warhead consisting of two shaped charges: a precursor warhead to detonate any explosive reactive armour, and a primary warhead to penetrate the underlying armour. Currently, it is replacing aging second generation anti-tank missiles. Spike missile is also equipped with heat chasing technology.

The Spike system is made up of the launching tripod with its fire control unit and the missile. There is no dedicated thermal sight on the launcher – the missile's imaging seeker is used. Altogether, the long range variant of the system weighs around 26 kg (57 lb).

Spike can be operated from the launcher by infantry, or from mounts that can be fitted to vehicles such as fast attack vehicles, armoured personnel carriers or utility vehicles. Vehicles that are not normally fitted with anti-tank weapons can therefore be given anti-tank capability.

Anti-ballistic Missiles

Cosaint Aeir na Cruinne (Domhan Air Defence or CAC)

DESCRIPTION: The Domhan Air Defence (CAC) is an anti-ballistic missile developed to intercept incoming ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere (exo-atmospheric). Based on the Domhan missile, CAC is a two-stage missile with a maximum interception altitude of 80 km (50 mi). The first stage is a Solid fuelled motor while the second stage is Liquid fuelled. It has manoeuvre thrusters which can generate a lateral acceleration of more than 5 gs at 50 km (31 mi) altitude. Guidance is provided by an internal navigation system with mid-course updates from LRTR and active radar homing in the terminal phase. CAC has capability to engage the 3,000 km (1,900 mi) class of ballistic missiles at a speed of Mach 5. PED is fast enough to hit medium-range ballistic missiles and intermediate-range ballistic missiles.

Air Defence System

Python Dromchla agus aer agus Derby (Surface-to-air Python and Derby or PDD)

DESCRIPTION: As a short range air defence system, thePDD has a short range of interception. The maximum altitude of interception is 9 km and the maximum range of interception is 15 km. The PDDN has a greater operation range of 35 km and an altitude engagement of 16 km due to the missiles being equipped with boosters.

Python-5

The Python-5 is currently the most capable air-to-air missile (AAM) in the Battanic inventory. As a beyond-visual-range missile, it is capable of "lock-on after launch" (LOAL), and has all-aspect/all-direction (including rearward) attack ability. The missile features an advanced electro-optical infrared homing (with imaging infrared) seeker which scans the target area for hostile aircraft, then locks-on for terminal chase.

Derby

The Derby is an active radar homing AAM that provides the PDD missile system with a fire-and-forget option due to its active radar guidance.

Tactical Ballistic Missile

Stailc (Strike)

DESCRIPTION: Stailc is developed to provide a cost-effective, quick-reaction, all-weather, all-terrain, highly accurate battlefield support tactical weapon system. The development of the missile was carried out by the DRDO scientists in a span of less than two years. The manoeuvring capability, greater acceleration, better accuracy and faster deployment fills the short-range tactical battlefield role as required by the Battanic Army to take out strategic and tactical targets. The mobile launch platform will carry six missiles that can be deployed in stand-alone and canisterised mode, which can have different kind of warheads meant for different targets and can be fired in salvo mode in all directions covering the entire azimuth plane.

This solid-fuelled missile can be launched within 2–3 minutes without any preparation, providing significantly better reaction time than liquid-fuelled Domhan ballistic missiles and act as a gap filler in the 150 km (93 mi) range.

ICBMs

Druimmor-1

DESCRIPTION: According to international weapons analysts, the Druimmor-1 first stage has a gimbaled two-chambered main engine system, as opposed to some other ICBMs which have one fixed main chamber and four gimbaled steering vernier thruster chambers. According to a missile specialist, the missile uses the ‘Iarann', the first stage of the two stage missile uses an RD-250 clone liquid propulsion system developed by Dunglanys, comprising two combustors fed by common turbopump to increase take-off thrust. The new propulsion is estimated to have 170 percent increase in thrust.

On August 29, 2031, Eògan Hughes wrote for Channel North that at 13,000 km, the payload would be around 150 kg (330 lb), but on August 31, after release of the images and video of launch, he wrote a subsequent article on Channel North in which he stated that he first visualized the design of the missile based solely on flight data. After seeing the images and video, Hughes increased the maximum estimate of payload from 150 kg to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) at a range of 13,000 km. He noted major differences in the design of the actual Druimmor-1 and the missile he visualized the day before, from the dimensions to two nozzles/engine instead of one.

Analysts have noted that the re-entry vehicle has a blunter nose than previous designs, which can accommodate a larger diameter warhead and reduces re-entry stress and heating at the cost of accuracy. Some analysts think it may be able to carry additional payloads such as decoys or even multiple warheads.

The 9 axle Transporter erector launcher (TEL) vehicle allows the missile to be fired from a fixed launch pad, not from the vehicle.

This game is more about the RP aspect than the stats aspect, at least for this region.

Say, throw in some of the Fortiscarab epoxy. It protected them for hundreds of years, and if you brew a sub-potion that basically makes it so that this fire will protect innocents in a "cocoon" before going ahead and deleting all life around them would probably be for the best. I reckon that like with chemistry, you will want to brew proprietary potions so that you can eventually reached the desired goal.

Also, wood wasps lay eggs in burned trees after wild fires, so, I guess that would mean at least b u g s can come back after the fire.

I think the protective bubble creator would have to be a separate potion (dropped at the same time ofc) just because one potion can't have too many functions or it's OP. It and the fire potion could work together well though, especially if skin from the same dragon was added to both as a link.

The fortiscarab epoxy would also coordinate the bubbles with each other, but not with the fire as it probably won't be in the fire potion.

Thats understandable. In this case, I'd like to think that in this case it would be capable of working together almost like how cells in the body and immune system don't rip each other to shreds. Perhaps the cocooning part is released as an aerosol before you begin magic-napalming the place to oblivion, with the fire kind a just rolling off of the cocoons.

Kerrygold looks at the two officers as they walk in the unlocked door. He nods to the table behind him, where some shot glasses and liquor is sitting. Kerrygold slowly stands, keeping his movements slow, easily predictable, and delibrate. He walks slowly and takes a seat at the table, and pours himself a shot, offering the bottle to E with a mild smirk.

"Humor a foolish old man to one last drink as a free man?" His suit is still the same Navy Blue as in the broadcast, but now looks less impressive. It has many lines, wear marks, and even a small hole in the armpit area E can see as Kerrygold holds his arm outstretched, holding the bottle in the air. And Kerrygold does appear much older than originally thought. The picture of a man in his thirties morphs into the image of someone going close to sixty, with grey streaks and crows feet now visible on his face and in his hair.
