Weapon's of the Galaxy Part 2: Imperial Army Heavy Weapon's
Heavy Weapon Squads of the Imperial Army are using a wide Array of Weapons. The most prominent are Rocket Launchers, Laser Cannon's and Auto Cannon's.
The LH-472 ATGM Launcher is the most wide spread Rocket launcher of the Imperial Army and is also in use of the Regular Imperial Soldiers. A Launch Unit is loaded with a seperat Tube wich contains the Rocket. At the Launch, as soon as the Rocket passed the Muzzle, the Tube gets automatically ejected towards the Back. The ATGM climbs quickly up and performs a high angle Attack. It can pennetrate up to 867+ mm of Composit Armor. The LH-472 is also often used against Buildings and fortified positions. Heavy Weapon Squads use the Launcher as regular Weapon in every Situation, while the Regular Soldier exclusivly use them against Tanks and fortified positions if needed. But the Empire learned quickly, that the LH-472 is more than effective against their own Tanks, Walkers and Troopships! Rebel groups use the Launcher regulary and it is somewhat ironical, that the empires Best ATGM Launcher already have a impressiv Kill count on Imperial Vehicles.
KF-777 is a portable Anti-Tank Laser Cannon and capable of burning a hole into the even strongest Armor. The Weapon uses a Energie Battery and a Gas Cylinder. The Gas gets ionised and leave the Weapon as a super hot Laser beam. The quality of the Gas gives the Laser beam its Color. High quality creates a purple Beam, low quality a white one. The filling of the Battery and the Cylinder is always shown on a Display on the right side. Also on the right side is a handle mounted, also a cable drum. Without visor on the Weapon itself, the wielder of the Weapon uses Googles, wich perfectly fits into the Standard Armor of Heavy weapon Soldiers. Connected with the Cable from the drum, the Operator is capable to aim properly. With a tactical HUD in the right glas, it is fairly easy to aim with it. The KF-777 uses two settings. Normal setting includes the ordinary anti-tank mode. "Overcharge" however improves the power of the Weapon dramaticly, but it burns out the Barrel 40 times faster then normal! The KF-777 also have a ugly habit. It burns extremly fast through its Gas and Energy reserves, giving it only a capacity of 30 Laser Shots!
The RFT-56 is a Auto Cannon with a 20 round Box Magazin of 36 Kretari or in Earth messurment 25 mm Rounds. The Magazin is inserted on the left side of the Gun and a handle is mounted on the right side. Like the KF-777, it uses Targeting Googles wich are standard equipment and can be used on both weapons. The Rounds of can be Armor piercing or High Explosive. The slow Sound of the RFT-56 became some sort of a theme on the Battlefield and Alliance Soldier immidiatly knew what they are dealing with. The slow rate of fire is also a trademark of the Gun and can be used for precise single shots. Her inner workings where purposly kept simple to make sure she is reliable and impervius to jamming. Being on the wrong side of the RFT-56 is not at all a good time and countless brave Soldiers found a early demise thanks to it...
FPV Drones of the "Hydra"-typ are also standard equipment of the Army and the Heavy weapon Squads. This Drones are powered by 3 very silent engines, wich gives them a good speed of 90 miles per hour and can operat in a 180 kilometer Radius around the operator. But despite being Standard equipment, "Hades"-Drones are not a common sight on the Battlefield. Sure, it can be a highly effective Kamikaze Drone or a Infantery killer with 16,9 Kretari (8,5 mm) Gun's, but the Imperial Command often dismissed this tiny machines. It is left to the operating Unit, if they want to carry them around or not. But if in use, "Hydra's" are extremly effectiv in all role's and many Tanks, bunkers or Building found a firery end thanks to them.
