-Based off the highly-successful [[faction:nepleslia:massed_positron_array|Massed Positron Array]], the Fireball is a much larger weapon.  It was intended to be a partial replacement for the [[faction:nepleslia:weapons:plasma_lance_cannon]] on warship classes where a heavier armament was desirable.  The Fireball could also be used to replace remaining aether shock arrays present within existing Nepleslian designs.+Based off the highly-successful [[faction:nepleslia:weapons:massed_positron_array|Massed Positron Array]], the Fireball is a much larger weapon.  It was intended to be a partial replacement for the [[faction:nepleslia:weapons:plasma_lance_cannon]] on warship classes where a heavier armament was desirable.  The Fireball could also be used to replace remaining aether shock arrays present within existing Nepleslian designs.
  
 Development time for the Fireball was extraordinarily swift.  All of the design work was completed within a day as much of it was a simple upscaling of the existing positron arrays.  The antimatter generators for the system required minor modifications to accept an increased power input.  Within 48 hours, five prototypes had been constructed for weapons testing. Development time for the Fireball was extraordinarily swift.  All of the design work was completed within a day as much of it was a simple upscaling of the existing positron arrays.  The antimatter generators for the system required minor modifications to accept an increased power input.  Within 48 hours, five prototypes had been constructed for weapons testing.

 This was tested for the same period and nothing was found amiss.  And so the Fireball was presented to the Navy as a new weapon just in time for Lewis Pasco Day. This was tested for the same period and nothing was found amiss.  And so the Fireball was presented to the Navy as a new weapon just in time for Lewis Pasco Day.

 +The only other weapon system for starships in Nepleslia which has an equivalent destructive yield is the [[faction:nepleslia:weapons:umd_canister#starship_grade_munition_types|GREEN UMD Canister]].  These are less desirable only because every ship can have a finite number of rounds.  With the Fireball, there is no limit to the generation and containment of antimatter as long as energy is provided.
