In Game Description

What the Protectorate lacks in advanced missile technology, it makes up for in volume. These rocket launchers are just a series of tubes banded together with an ignition circuit run through them but up close, where they can't miss, their damage rivals that of even a particle beam.

[CMD]: Yes, Captain Vance?

[NVAN]: Did Cass send you the RL36 data?

[CMD]: To Amelie, yes. It appears to exceed the Otdel's specifications. I've already approved it for manufacture and deployment.

[NVAN]: Why do you work with her? With the Sevens?

[CMD]: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I do not agree with the Sevens' way of thought but, as it stands in the current war climate, they are the only organization with a military arm that is not chained down by bureaucracy or policies. If we are to win this war, we must be unconventional.

[NVAN]: Just because some scarlet-haired bitch moonlighting as an engineering prodigy got lucky doesn't mean she can be trusted. She's part of the noble houses in Solomon and they'll pour every last bit of silver they can into keeping their name clean of criminals like her.

[CMD]: Did you know that the Barons said that 'some shipping mogul from Pyxis' couldn't be trusted to lend her own fleet to defend the protectorate? That she would jump out of the water as soon as the losses began to eat into her profits? I convinced the Conclave that you would lay down your life to protect your home and you have proved that to me, even when the Barons doubted every fiber of your being. I see the same in Keystone, though she is not like her mother and she is not of the Protectorate. I know her convictions and I trust them.

  1. ↑ as the RL36 has only 1 valid payload, a fully loaded RL18 can be considered to cost 102 points total.
  2. ↑ Between this and the size 2 limit, the only valid weapon the RL36 can fire is the R-2 'Piranha' Rocket.
  3. ↑ it appears to be about +25-30 (most likely ~25), and -5 degrees using a protractor visually, and appears to be similar to RL18.
