Mark 1 Rele’vance Missile Turret

The Mark 1 Rele’vance is a light missile turret utilized by the Neshaten military to fire their missiles. The turret has interchangeable missile mounts so that it can either fire actual missiles, or torpedoes. It entered surface in EE 001(YE 34).

There are two fire-modes to the Relevance. The first is single fire mode, which fires one missile every five seconds. The second is swarm mode, which fires every missile in the launcher at once. Because of the turrets design, it can reload missiles on the fly, releasing a constant stream of missiles as long as there is power to the loading mechanism 'or' as long as there are missiles in a dedicated munitions armory.

Appearance

The launcher resembles an eighty-degree angular flat surface with 'eight' holes where missiles fire out of. There are targetting pods on the left and right sides of the launcher along with control terminals located in-between.
