LS-Rs

== PMRDD Kinetic Strike Weapons ==
=== Summary ===
The PMRDD Created many Kinetic Strike Weapons during its history. The most famous of them, the "Kinetic Strikers". These were designated as "LS-Rs", the "R" being replaced by the designated hull number of the striker. 
=== Effectiveness ===
The Kinetic Strikers use Tungsten Rods, and due to the density and weight, the Rod can travel up to Mach 10 before hitting "Ground Zero". The resulting explosion of a standard Tungsten Rod can be up to 1/5 times of the Atomic Bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It isn't large, but is it effective. These rods also have different uses for different situations.
# AP Rod (Used for destroying underground facilities)
# HE Rod (Used to take out gathering surface targets)
# Airburst Rod (Explodes a kilometer above target)
# Nuclear Rod (Causes Atomic Explosion)
The most widely used are the AP and HE Rods, and the Nuclear Rod only used once against the T.S.T.F. during the PMRDD vs Hex war.
=== Current Status ===
After the PMRDD decommissioned the Strikers and replaced it with the Angel of Serenity Class in 2020, the Kinetic Rods have been left in orbit and classified as "Space Junk" or "Target Practice". When the PMRDD Disolved in 2022 by Director Higgs Boson, the Kinetic Strikers were left in orbit until Cliff AI #24 gave NitroCaliber the access codes to hack into the Kinetic Strikers. They are currently being used by the NTF and NCMD.
The Ls-Rs were also replaced by Ns-00s. They are considered a major upgrade and "The Next Generation" of kinetic rod technology.
