Pythonissa-pattern Torpedo Tubes (Supplemental Component)
While using the same launch mechanism as other patterns and capable of firing all the same munitions, Pythonissa-pattern tubes possess a radically different architecture, meant for mounting along a starship’s spine with torpedoes launched dorsally instead of the more common prow-mounted systems. While it allows for heavier firepower and backing other primary prow weapons with torpedoes, this placement of torpedo stores closer to the vessel’s core also entails greater risks from exploding ordnance. This Component is capable of firing four torpedoes in each salvo. It can store 20 torpedoes, plus an additional four if the ship’s captain does not mind keeping four in the tubes.
Vertical Architecture: This weapon component must be mounted in a Dorsal Weapon Capacity Slot.
Dangerously Volatile: If this Component is Damaged or Destroyed (but not Unpowered or Depressurised) while torpedoes are loaded in its tubes, it has a 10 percent chance of exploding. In this event, the Component is destroyed and the ship takes 3d5 Hull Integrity damage.
