Silver Bullet

Silver Bullet was an advanced projectile weapon developed by the Mesan Alignment Navy.
Seventy meters in length and eleven and a half meters in diameter (or equivalent to ninety percent the size of a Royal Manticoran Navy Shrike-class LAC), Silver Bullet was meant to be the MAN's solution to the Mycroft platforms of the Grand Alliance. It melded two power packs from a Wraith reconnaissance drone with a graser and included solar panels and a trickle charger for its plasma capacitors that would allow it to loiter in a system for up to eighty days before its plasma reserve fell below minimum operational levels.
It was too large to launch even out of the torpedo tubes of a Leonard Detweiler-class warship and therefore needed to be maneuvered out of a standard cargo hold. This restriction lead to the design of a carrier of two Rhino-class heavy-lift cargo containers connected end-to-end.
Silver Bullet's first operational use was in January 1923 PD in the Battle of Beowulf when it was used to eliminate the Mycroft platforms in that system. ()
