Project Storgens Judgement
While the majority of the Orders forces was focused on fighting off the alien threat of the Nomads,
the Core seized the opportunity to try and encroach on the Order protectorate more and more.
With the Core nipping at their heels it and Order patrols stumbling upon illegal outposts inside territory
they had previously considered secure, it became all too clear something had to be done.
While the Science Division had developed a variety of potent and unique weapons up until this point,
these were made with moving vessels in mind.
Considering the sturdiness of human installations, as well as their lack of mobility,
the decision was made that it would be acceptable to make certain sacrifices to boost performance.
One of the major driving factors behind any weapon was the speed of the projectiles it fired;
a faster moving projectile had far greater odds of connecting with its target.
Damage output and refire rate were often held back in order to ensure a weapon was capable of actually connecting a blow.
However, with the target the Overwatch had in mind this did not factor into the equation at all as there was no chance of missing shots.
By rerouting a good chunk of the energy spared in this manner to sheer damage output,
the Science Division was able to produce a weapon of unrelenting force.
This trade off did however meant that each shot traveled through space at an alarmingly slow pace even
if it decimated the targets hull integrity upon eventual impact in an unprecedented manner.
The prototype was deemed Storgens Judgement, named after Major William Storgen of the Overwatch who had
spearheaded several operations to take down Core installations in the Order Protectorate.
Due to the large force behind each shot the turrets are reinforced by extra iridium to prevent the weapons
from being ripped to shreds under the pressure of their own force,
this has resulted in the Order only being able to produce small batches of these weapons
at a time while they gather the resources required for such potent weapons.
