-The primary component of the External Ordinance Rack System is the strap system which is utilized for many of the unit's applications. Through the use of [[lorath:technology:lorath_damage-resistant_polymer]] fiber straps in combination with magnetic locking buckles, an external ordinance rack can be easily attached to a wide range of vehicles, and even fortified emplacements. +The primary component of the External Ordinance Rack System is the strap system which is utilized for many of the unit's applications. Through the use of [[materials:stone_thread]] fiber straps in combination with magnetic locking buckles, an external ordinance rack can be easily attached to a wide range of vehicles, and even fortified emplacements. 
  
 The application of the system on small scale vehicles such as motor vehicles, power armor, and shuttles is a simple matter of positioning the straps on the vehicle in a manner which would securely fasten the external rack to the exterior of the vehicle. The application of the system on small scale vehicles such as motor vehicles, power armor, and shuttles is a simple matter of positioning the straps on the vehicle in a manner which would securely fasten the external rack to the exterior of the vehicle.

 In larger applications, the External Ordinance Rack System can either use the basic strap system, or an anchoring system reliant on several various methods. For smaller ordinance, adhesive gels often can be used to anchor the ends of the strap system to the hull of a vessel or vehicle. For larger ordinance, magnetic systems can be used on hulls which magnetic forces influence, an alternative method is to place a magnetic anchor in the interior of the vessel, and a second anchor on the exterior of the vessel.  In larger applications, the External Ordinance Rack System can either use the basic strap system, or an anchoring system reliant on several various methods.

-Finally, in some applications, an installation of an anchor is required. In relation to Star Army of Yamatai vessels, this is easily handled through the use of the small hooks incorporated into the [[material:zesuaium]] plate of Yamatai made ships. In other ships, the use of a specialized anchor is called for. The specialized self-installing anchor incorporates a plasma-charge which is used to bore a three inch hole in the hull of a vessel. This hole is then promptly filled with a telescoping 2.98 inch durandium rod, with a self-hardening and sealing gel which fixes the rod into place. The end of the durandium rod which protrudes through the hull contains a self-activating chemical charge which ignites after installation and causes the end of the rod to flare out, thus resulting in the rod being firmly fixed into place.+Finally, in some applications, an installation of an anchor is required.

-The [[stararmy:weapons:as-7]] (AS-7 is __**Military Issue Only**__) and  Lorath heavy ordinance missile exterior holding cage is designed to be fastened onto the exterior of a vehicle. The cage serves to house the ordinance until the weapon is fired under it's own power from the cage. The Exterior holding cage can also be utilized for similar sized munitions.+The [[stararmy:weapons:as-7]] (AS-7 is __**Military Issue Only**__) and  Lorath heavy ordinance missile exterior holding cage is designed to be fastened onto the exterior of a vehicle.
