However, it will cause all sorts of trouble for the local yokels downbelow: the Uguarran is a good platform for meson, missile and laser orbital fire, while it's thick hide and stolid meson screen will filter out most counterattacks. Among the more common - and loathed - sights on the coreward frontier during the Rebellion, from Deneb to Vland. Still in use among the surviving Vargr states in Gvurrdon sector. It's major weakness, of course, is it's pathetic fuel capasity. It's survival depends on other Vargr elements clearing out most [Imperial] opposition before it can get to work zapping the dirtsiders. By 1122, almost all have switched over to TL F electronics and EMM masking (with deep gratitude to the captured Corridor depot for supplying the needed equipment) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alvin Plummer "Preserve what we created, Norris, and remember what we stood for." - Strephon, 179-1126 Reply to: alvin.plummer@SHERIDANC.ON.CA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
