-====== Ke-Z2 Series Ransā Anti-Capital/Super-Capital Torpedo ======
-Designed by [[stararmy:ranks:shoi]] [[character:koyama]] in [[timeline:ye_42]], the Ransā ((Lancer in Yamataigo)) is slated for use by the [[stararmy:start]] and produced by [[corp:ketsurui_zaibatsu]] in very limited batches for deployment and testing during the ongoing, devastating war against the [[faction:kuvexia:interstellar_kingdom_of_kuvexia]].
-===== About the Ke-Z2 Series Ransā Anti-Capital/Super-Capital Torpedo =====
-With the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]]'s ongoing war of survival in the year [[timeline:ye_42]], and the [[faction:kuvexia:interstellar_kingdom_of_kuvexia]]'s [[timeline:events:kuvexian_advance_of_ye_42|renewed assault]] upon an ailing galactic superpower, the Ransā was designed, and built to be a daunting answer to the need for true deployable and flexible anti-super capital weaponry as Kuvexian Dreadnoughts have begun taking the field. While the mighty [[stararmy:starship_classes:izanagi-class_dreadnought]] is capable of standing toe-to-toe with the imposing enemy super-capitals, they are far and few between. This necessitated a counter to turn the tide in Yamatai's favor when these mighty behemoths clash against one another, or a pack of smaller, [[stararmy:starship_classes:sharie-class_battleship]]'s gang up upon the Kuvexian's ships of the line.
-Utterly new, untested, and bleeding-edge, the Z2 eschews the usage of Anti-Matter, Aether or even Fusion warheads for something truly devastating on a large scale. The Ransā mounts a highly-miniaturized, yet powerful [[guide:ftl:hyperspace_travel|Hyperfold Generator]] inside of an armored torpedo casing along with the necessary components and capacitors to charge the generator itself. Launched in much the same manner as the vaunted [[stararmy:weapons:ammunition:ke-z1_series_anti-starship_torpedoes]], the Z2's sole purpose is to bring the hammer down upon battleships and up.
-Once launched, the Ransā tracks engages, and detonate against its target's shields, or hull. In either case, once contact is made, a short-lived hyperfold 'bubble' is opened against the offending vessel. The effect can prove to be rather deadly when properly applied. When detonated against enemy shields, the Z2 causes a space-time 'ripple' effect across [[stararmy:systems:combined_field_system|Combined Field System]] style shields and other energy-based shielding technology. The effect is similar in comparison to the older Subspace Detonator warheads, only on a grander, more effective scale as Anti-FTL technology continues on the rise. The bubble itself, when against shields also radiates sickening amounts of exotic hyperspatial radiation and particles which could be hazardous to friends or foe alike in the immediate vicinity providing a larger area of effect making a sort of dead, or no-fly zone.
-Should the enemy shields fail, the Ransā acts in much the same manner, except the fold bubble, instead of a radiating, space-time ripple instead 'eats' a large chunk of the ship's armored hull before snapping closed making it effective against even Kuvexian-made [[materials:zesuaium]] and [[materials:yamataium]] comparable materials. Against lesser meta-materials, and shields the damage is done can be rather vicious as the protective value decreases exponentially.
-While usable within the gravity-well of a solar system, however, the effect can be more unstable, inflicting more damage, or less leading it to random chance right down to the amount of toxic, corrosive and deadly exotic hyperspatial radiation emitted. Also of note is there is no telling where these chunks of missing vessels end up. They may end up hundreds, if not thousands of lightyears away, or only within a few hundred kilometers in distance from the affected ship.
