King Industries has been developing superior weapons for a long time
and missiles are not excluded from that list of activity. As
previously mentioned, KI is a master at nanotechnology and therefore
tends to have missiles smaller while equally as devastating to those
used throught the Megaverse (TM) at large. All King Industries
missiles are designed for use in all enviroments and to change
enviroments. All KI missiles are considered "smart" bombs and can
track single or multiple targets. If all targets have gone out of
range it can stop and weight for a new target or to be defused,
depending on the duration of its life expectancy. If not defused it
will either self-destruct (01-50% chance) OR the engines will fail
and it will automatically shut down with no explosion (51-00%) unless
design specifications vary for either option. Also, if the casing of
a missile is destroyed the explosive contents will NOT be forced
together resulting in no explosion. That tactic eliminates the
possiblity of destroying a missile volley by blowing up only one
missile or having a missile launcher blow up and destroying the
vehicle it is mounted on with its own ammunition.

KI Grenades (G):
These are the standard hand thrown greandes or mortar rounds.
Diameter: 2 inches
Length: 4 inches
Weight: 6 oz.
M.D.C.: 5
KI Anti-Personnel Mines (APM):
These mines are desined to be small, unobtrusive, and deadly to
personnel and others lightly armored. They are effective mainly
functional against ground targets or other surfaces where it will
be walked on. It comes equipped with a light array of passive
sensors so as to detect incoming targets and explode when
approached or on contact. Their sensitivity can be to targets as
little as 2 lbs., but 30 lbs. is the standard setting. They can
detect possible targets as far away as 100 ft.
Height: 0.5 inches
Diameter: 8 inches
Weight: 12 oz.
M.D.C.: 3
KI Mini-Missiles (MM):
Mini-Miisiles are small missiles to be used by personnel. KI
mini-missiles function in such a way that they only need a
storage facility, not a launcher, and, in a pinch, can be
launched manually.
Diameter: 1 inch
Length: 4 inches
Weight: 2 lbs.
Speed: 1980 mph (Mach 3)
Range: 10 miles
M.D.C.: 5
Life Expectancy: 1 hour
Bonuses: +3 strike, +6 dodge
KI Short Range Missiles (SRM):
KI Short Range Missiles are considered short range in space
enviroments, where they were developed. They are a heavier
ordianance than mini-missiles, but smaller and lighter than
medium and long range missiles. These are also one of few types
of missile with special controls allowing it to be piloted
remotely by either the firer or a central command hooked up via
satellite.
Diameter: 6 inches
Length: 2 feet
Weight: 16 lbs.
Range: 100 miles
M.D.C.: 10
Speed: 3630 mph (Mach 5.5)
Life Expectancy: 8 hours
Bonuses: +4 strike, +6 dodge
KI Anti-Vehicle Mines (AVM):
Anti-Vehicle mines are similar to Anti-Personnel mines except
their targets are usually those that weigh over 600 lbs.
Although the sensitivity on these mines can be brought down to
the contact of 8 lbs. They also have the same passive sensor
system that alerts them to the presence of targets within 500
feet.
Height: 4 inches
Diameter: 1 ft.
Weight: 20 lbs.
M.D.C.: 8
KI Medium Range Missiles (MRM):
Medium Range Missiles are those missiles designed to go against
tanks and large robots. This is the only other type of missile
designed to be remotely controlled if so optioned. However, most
pilots and fighting forces will not use such a feature in heavy
combat, and leave it set as a fire-and-forget weapon. It will
automatically be that way unless optioned to do otherwise before
the firing sequence has begun. When fired only the pilot has the
coded frequency necessary to pilot the missile. That frequency
can be sent to a central command station to control the missile
if the pilot allows it. Many automated defense satellites will
send the control codes to the central command when firing.
Diameter: 1 ft.
Length: 4 ft.
Weight: 48 lbs.
Range: 1000 miles
M.D.C.: 20
Speed: 5478 mph (Mach 8.3)
Life Expectancy: 16 hours
Bonuses: +5 strike, +6 dodge
KI Anti-Mecha Mines (AMM):
These mines are designed to take out large robot vehicles who
would have a difficult time detecting their small size. They
usually will only be sensitive to targets weighing over 1500 lbs.,
but can be sensitive up to 25 lbs. They also have the same
passive sensor array as the other mines and can detect possible
targets as far away as 1000 ft.
Height: 1 ft.
Diameter: 4 ft.
Weight: 60 lbs.
KI Long Range Missiles (LRM):
These are the most powerful, robot mounted missile weapons used
by King Industries.
Diameter: 3 ft.
Length: 12 ft.
Weight: 1200 lbs.
Speed: 8415 mph (Mach 12.75)
M.D.C.: 40
Range: 5000 miles
Life Expectancy: 24 hours
Bonuses: +6 strike, +6 dodge
KI Anti-Ship Mines (ASM):
Anti-Ship Mines are those that will take out ships be it in
space or in the water. As most ships that these are designed to
take out have difficulty locating objects smaller than 8 feet in
diameter while travelling at high speeds, the Anti-Ship mine is a
great tool for taking out unsuspecting ships. It has a discrete
engine system that will help it avoid the effects of gravity from
planets, asteroids, and stars, as well as to help it keep its
position in space or underwater. They are also made of the radar
absorbant coating which makes it invisible to most sensor systems
and has a camouflage system that will allow it to blend in with
the surrounding environment. They are only sensitive to ships
weighing more than 1 ton.
Diameter: 5 ft
Weight: 1000 lbs.
KI Anti-Ship Missiles (ASMi):
These huge missile are typically only mounted on larger ships,
base locations, or specially designed mobile firing platforms.
They are designed to take out objects in orbit or large star
cruisers in ship-to-ship combat. As King Industries grows ever
more desperate for money, some of these have become incredible
area effect weapons designed to take out large population centers.
Diameter: 8 ft.
Length: 32 ft.
Weight: 2 tons
M.D.C: 100
Range: 100,000 miles
Speed: 13,596 mph (Mach 20.6)
Life Expectancy: 72 hours
Bonuses: +4 strike, + 6 dodge

Active Plasmoids are a force of reactive energies that are consistently drawn together when shot from an emmitter. What this accomplishes is a short, but relatively stable energy field sharper than vibro-blades. Active-Plasmoids will also deflect other forms of energy, including other active plasmoids on different frequencies. What this means is that energy weapons will bounce off of the energy barrier created by the active plasmoid into another direction. Lasers, particle beams, plasma, and tri-beams are all victim to this effect. Active plasmoids on the same frequency, however, will stick together. They are relatively easy to pull apart, requiring a combined P.S. of 16 or greater. For this reason, most active plasmoid weapons have variable frequency settings. Active Plasmoid weapons are also given a variable range depending on the strength of the emmitter. Active plasmoids flow through the emmitter and return to it at about .95c (95% the speed of light). Depending on the focusing crystal, the color of the active plasmoids will alter. An active plasmoid weapon will have a primary or secondary color. The color does not indicate strength, but it may reveal personal preferences or alliances of the owner. Active plasmoid weapons are nearly weightless because the blade is only energy. This allows for faster maneuverability and bonus of +2 to strike and +3 to parry. Active plasmoids also give off minor amounts of light and heat about equal to 1 candle per 12 inches of energy blade. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Energy Knife: Damage: 3D6 M.D. Range: 1-18 inches Payload: 24 hours Emmitter Size: 6 inches M.D.C.: 10 Energy Sword: Damage: 5D6 M.D. Range: 6-48 inches Payload: 12 hours Emmitter Size: 12 inches M.D.C.: 20 Energy Spear: Damage: 6D6 M.D. Range: 20-200 inches Payload: 6 hours Emmitter Size: 24 inches M.D.C.: 35
LASERS:
Lasers are fairly common throughout any moderately advanced
civilization in the Megaverse (TM). They are cheap, efficient,
reliable, silent, and deadly when wielded in the right hands.
All King Industries lasers come equipped with an automatic laser
targeter when the trigger is partially depressed. This gives ALL
King Industries Laser weapons a bonus of +1 to strike.

Damage: 3D6 M.D.
Range: 1000 ft.
Payload: 50 shots per KI E-Clip
Rate of Fire: Standard
Cost: 18,000 credits
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ION BLASTERS:
Ions are particles of supercharged electrons that do large
amounts of damage upon impacting a target. They are slightly
more complex than lasers, but still cheap and efficient. They
also do more damage and are harder to defend against.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PLASMA WEAPONS:
Plasma is another weapon development common under the more
advanced civilizations. Plasma weapons shoot an ultra hot liquid
that does incredible amounts of damage. These weapons are very
difficult to defend against and do large amounts of damage. Their
shortcomings include a more limited range, major power
consumption, and general bulkiness for all the insulation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TRI-BEAM WEAPONS:
These are probably another key examples of King Industries hard
at work with industrial espionage. The design schematics were
imitated from the Arkhons who created this kind of technology. At
first it seemed a mere triviality as something to do just so the
Arkhons couldn't have a monopoly on the manufacture of these
weapons. However, the triviality turned out to be something
important as the damage capability by far superceded that of
conventional energy weapons. Tri-Beams combine plasma, lasers,
and particle beams in such a manner that breaks down molecular
bonds doing double damage to most materials. The only material
exempt from the destructive power of these weapons are forcefields
and cerasteel, another development stolen from the Arkhons by King
Industries.
