We do, in fact, have something new. Our scientists have dubbed it the “Shatterer”. A joint research venture involving multiple crews across the Omegas.
It’s a peculiar piece of work: high rate of fire, broad-spectrum damage against hull, shields, and energy systems, and—here’s the entertaining part—proximity fusing. Naturally, that performance comes with trade-offs: some dispersion, and relatively slow projectile speed. Still, a group as capable as yours should be able to make it sing.
Our research team would also like to see it in live conditions. If you can gather combat data like damage patterns, effectiveness by range. We’d be grateful to receive the data.
As for the Unioners: matters will remain quiet until they sever their Corsair partnership. We have no desire to escalate into open hostility, but we won’t spend time or credits cultivating ties with anyone likely to hand our goodwill straight back to the Imperio.
Now, about this token of yours. You have my attention.
