LDSi Missile

Linear Displacement System inhibitor weapons (or LDSi for short)  use an electro-gravitational pulse generator to slightly destabilise the fabric of space.

When an LDSi detonates the field it generates knocks out all operational LDS engines in the area and prevents inactive ones setting up an LDS field.

The effects of the distortion lasts approximately 40 seconds, hopefully holding a ship stationary long enough for pursuers to catch up.

The ship's weapons and navigation computers lock a waypoint onto the detonation, so you can see the centre of the inhibitor field, and thus locate the target ship.





Annotation 6296.001: Clay, Jefferson: "These are mainstay of any warship. If you can't stop someone running away you can't fight, and if you can't stop someone following you, you can't run. Always load a pod of these, just in case you need them."
