Boarding Action

"Charge! Charge! Fire all our Boarding Torpedoes and take that big ship!!"

Inside the pirate ship, a disorderly mob of pirates who looked like space refugees, clad in mismatched armor and carrying mismatched weapons, rushed into the enormous torpedo boarding pods.

Amid repeated thunderous roars, the torpedo boarding pods were launched from the pirate ship's tubes and hurtled toward the Scimitar-class Frigate!

This specially modified pirate ship launched dozens of Landing Torpedoes in an instant.

Less than a few dozen seconds later, it fired dozens more Landing Torpedoes.

In under a minute, more than a hundred Landing Torpedoes had been launched at the Scimitar-class Frigate!

Boarding Torpedoes were slow weapons in space warfare. They were not blocked by Void Shields and could pass straight through them to strike a warship's hull.

The interior of a Boarding Torpedo was spacious enough to carry over a hundred armed personnel. The torpedo itself was forged from alloy steel and could withstand attacks from most small-caliber close-in defense weapons.

At the front of the torpedo was usually a melta nozzle, while its rear housed a rocket engine.

When the torpedo was about to strike an enemy hull, the nozzle at its head would unleash a high-temperature jet, melting through the meters-thick armor of the enemy vessel.

Then the rocket nozzle at its tail would ignite, driving the Boarding Torpedo into the enemy hull like a spear.

Nearly a hundred boarding pirates inside were exposed to the vacuum of space and died in an instant.

But more Boarding Torpedoes endured the defensive fire with their hardened armor. After breaching the Void Shields, they slammed viciously into the hull.
