Homer-a-Day, Day 23: Charybdis

Charybdis Pattern Vortex Torpedo
A truly ancient and venerable pattern, the Charybdis’ seeker vortex warhead is mounted on an especially optimised long range endurance plasma drive. Torpedoes of the pattern are so sought after, that almost none can be found outside of the imperial navy and if a battlefleet is lucky enough to come into possession of a Charybids, it is invariably placed on the admiral’s flag vessel or another ship of similar pedigree.

Charybdis pattern vortex torpedoes carry vortex warheads, seeking guidance systems and have a range of 72.

Homer-a-Day – one Homer inspired Warhammer 40,000 article per day, for one month. Pure hubris, incited when a stroll through our own archives led first to reexamining the Odysseus Pattern Astartes Greatbow and then to the exchange quoted above.

Don’t uncork what you can’t contain.
