You are viewing an old version of this page.
Designer: TDY Industrial
Name: Charlis Platform
Type: Ground to Space Defense Platform
Personnel: 2 loaders, 4 gunners
Shape: Circular
Hull: 25 RU
Diameter: 37 meters
Height of Platform: 25 meters
Height of Tower: 100 meters
Diameter of Tower: 7 meters
Speed of Ascent (moving from ground to top of tower): 1 minute
Speed of Descent: 52 seconds
Weapons: Two Missile Launchers, Two Quad Laser Cannons
Armory: 5 Arakis X-17 missiles per launcher or a magazine of ten concussion missiles
Rate of fire: 1:5 or 1 Arakis X-17 per every 5 minutes (when launching concussion missiles, the rate of fire is 1:1)
Build time: 5 days per platform
Description:
This platform is designed as the launcher of the Arakis X-17 missile. It fires at a rate of 1:5. This is because firing too close together causes so much recoil that firing at a faster rate would tear the platform apart. The missile launchers can be refitted with Concussion missiles for extra defense against starfighters and other smaller craft.
Two of the gunners operate the missiles. One per tube because the Arakis X-17 missiles are guided by the gunner. The other two gunners operate the side mounted quad laser cannons for defense against starfighters.
Originally the design did not include tubes for launching missiles. It was replanned and a decision was made to fit it with tubes to launch the Arakis missiles against capital ships. This platform will be a system of defense for every TDY world.
