Explain the Tungsten Dart Launcher.

[LaCroix]

It'a gauss gun that launches 15 meter long metal darts to pierce another vessels armor.

[Lord Vader]

How many darts does it carry, cause I'd have to imagine very few. At 15 Meters long, each dart is roughly 50 feet long. At 40 Meters long, I can't imagine there being a large number of these things, especially considering that is has so many additional armaments as well as the natural components that make up a ship.

[LaCroix]

15 Darts.

[Lord Vader]

What is there atmospheric cruising speed, if they can enter the atmosphere?

[LaCroix]

Hmmm, I'd say about Mach 27. Want me to ad that?

[Lord Vader]

You're kidding, right? For a ship like this, Mach 27 is an incredibly fast atmospheric cruising speed. Mach 2 or so would be more appropriate.

[LaCroix]

Fuck it. It can't enter the atmosphere.

[Lord Vader]

Very well.
