-**Notes: The Hardball cannonball is, like the Skyfire ammunition, manufactured out of materials the Swifts gather. It is a sphere about 10cm in diameter and composed of whatever metals the controlling automata or ship have on hand, but always has a skin of highly magnetic material just under the outer shell and manufactured fragmentation points. The cannonball is launched by a larger configuration of the Sky Swift arrays than the Skyfire "turrets", usually double the requirements of Skyfire to send a Hardball at the target with any significant speed.+Notes: The Hardball cannonball is, like the Skyfire ammunition, manufactured out of materials the Swifts gather.

 The core of the explosive variety of a Hardball is composed of pressurized molten metal, injected into the hollow cannonball just before use, which causes significant damage on impact to low-armor targets (albeit mostly from the impact, not the explosion).  The core of the explosive variety of a Hardball is composed of pressurized molten metal, injected into the hollow cannonball just before use, which causes significant damage on impact to low-armor targets (albeit mostly from the impact, not the explosion).
