Description: A series of high explosive munition for Imperial artillery guns for both orbital and planetary battlefields.

ATTRIBUTES

• Main Stats
  
  • Defence: Low
    • Defensive Elements:
      • Reinforced Jacket
      • Manual Safety switch to avoid countermeasures.
    • Offensive Elements:
      • Highly Explosive
      • Can be set to explode mid-air.
  • Durability: Average
  • Scarcity: Uncommon

Strengths
+ Armour-Piercing. This type of ammunition has the ability to tear through thick armour, allowing them to inflict terrible damages on tank and other armoured elements of enemy forces.
+ Anti-Air Multirole. Although mainly manufactured to serve as anti-armour munition, the Nuriga Shells can be set to trigger by energy waves, which makes them a devastating type of flak weaponry, who's explosions could cast a starfighter or gunship off course.


Weaknesses
- Heavy Shells. The large dimensions and heavy weight of this type of munition makes them hard to carry and difficult to load, while they tend to sink if put on an unstable or not solid ground such as bogs, mud or sand.
- Devastating Explosions. Although their high explosive nature makes them perfect for barrages, them carried without being enclosed in specially designed crates, or falling off on solid surfaces may cause them to go off, which would result in chained explosions of horrific effect, for the crews of the artillery and anyone in the proximity.


Historical Information
Designed by the Imperial industries after the Second Galactic War, the Nuriga Shells were the brainchild of Dr. Eolai Vain. Although contrarry to the typical Particle weaponry the Sith Empire used throughout the Second Galactic War, the Nuriga Shells saw use in several lesser engagements during the Cold War, including the Kathallan Campaign, in which Darth Ignis and her warfleet used the ammunition to level enemy positions to a devastating effect. During the Kathallan Campaign, in the Siege of Zaruuz, the Nuriga Shells were used by General @Ahalir Gafaron in breaking a Kathallan armoured offensive, prior to the arrival of the Imperial fleet elements that subjected the enemy positions to orbital bombardment.

With the ignition of the Third Galactic War, the Nuriga Shells were deployed against Republic positions in Agrilon IX and Tanthnakat, during the notorious "Kantiir Sieges". Although hard to use and usually requiring specialized droid support to efficiently reload the artillery while using them, the Nuriga Shells became a munition of choice for General Gafaron, used extensively in both Kantiir Sieges, and the Halcyon Civil War, against renegade Imperial Guard elements on Halcyon.

Coffee and explosions!!! Sounds a good combo to start my evening!!! *hype*

So i feel the description needs some additional work, maybe include some dimensions,weight or materials used or I dare say more about production which exists on historical info?


Also I would love to see what type of shell are they!!
Are they Ion,thermal,frag,plasma? to name a few
Maybe the have a way of changing charges somehow ? or not? possible a new strength?

Manual Safety switch to avoid countermeasures.

Im having a hard time to understand how they function!!
Can we give it slightly more depth!
Is it ai?
simple sensors?
Are they controlled by the gunner?

Also a glaring issue!!

• • Manual Safety switch to avoid countermeasures.

Theres no offense stat so I can check the point total!!@ But lets review it anyways!!

Can be set to explode mid-air.

By set do we mean a timer?
A frequency of sort for self destruct?

+ Anti-Air Multirole. Although mainly manufactured to serve as anti-armour munition, the Nuriga Shells can be set to trigger by energy waves, which makes them a devastating type of flak weaponry, who's explosions could cast a starfighter or gunship off course

I love there multi use!!!
But,energy waves? Feels a bit vague :/
Is that something enemy forces can capitalize on through slicing for example leading back to one of its weaknesses?
Also what kind of wave triggers the function, do they have sensors to identify other vehicles ?

- Devastating Explosions. Although their high explosive nature makes them perfect for barrages, them carried without being enclosed in specially designed crates, or falling off on solid surfaces may cause them to go off, which would result in chained explosions of horrific effect, for the crews of the artillery and anyone in the proximity.

Speaking of weaknesses!!!
I love they idea they have to be handled *delicately* but can we change the initial wording of devastating explosions to something more *trigger happy shells* to give it more clarity to other readers? Since I assume they will be used in combat *PvP* make it easier to your enemies to understand!

Historical info is just a goddamn good read!!
Nothing to change IMO or necessarily add but maybe with the above suggestions, some additional info is provided with the above considered?

@Dreadheart

Have a pleasant day/evening!!!
Lets make some shells!!
