The Crimson Death Missile: The Barbarossa. A Weapon Review By Germán Jaramillo# 685605

In the ancient ages of the history of the old Earth, cradle of the humanity, there were some warlike figures of great renown that shared before or later the Barbarossa's nickname (an old italic word meaning “red beard”)… There existed a German Emperor, a fierce, shrewd and powerful admiral of the Ottoman empire and a painful pirate of the Caribbean sea… All of them turned into legends into their respective ages, been feared and admired equally and became nightmares for many.

This way, the creator of this weapon, taken by his deep interest to the archaic history, as well as for a certain poetic talent, has wanted to baptize this weapon of mass destruction, this jewel of the tactical ballistics with the name of Red Beard, “Barbarossa”. Few missiles of its category have the cruising speed (100) that the Barbarossa is capable to reach, guaranteeing that will be the crimson missile and not another one the one kicking down your target.

But if the qualities of a high speed and an unpredictable path were not enough, the Barbarossa is provided in addition with a double tactical head that fires during his ballistic flight once the main target becomes fixed in its effective range of impact; then, the IA leading the Barbarossa selects a secondary target next to its primary destination.

The ballistic tests offer a frequency of double strike of 40 % in a blank mech prototype without any equipment, which in conjunction with a suitable telemetry on a well equipped mech, guarantees statistics superior to 50 % to reach a double shot.

This is out of doubt that if those powerful warriors of old were reincarnated as clones, they would feel proud of the destructive creation that shares in their behalf a crimson awe of destruction.

It is as great the destructive power of this missile that the engineers who created the Barbarossa, limited the launching IA to ten units at once… Maybe with trading purposes…
