Designation:

I. Dimensions

II. Type

• Design: Erebar design bureau.
• Builder: Erabor Munitions.
• One person aerospace gunboat

III Service Use

• Served with the Zentraedi Imperial Navy and Air Force from 2053 onward.

III. Propulsion

Engines:

• 2 x Varshtann Type-101 plasma shock engines mounted on the rear in a vertical column.  Maximum output of 3 GN of thrust each.
• 4 x X'Terra Type-71 plasma shock engines mounted in pairs on either side of the main thrusters.  Maximum output 500 kN of thrust each.
• 2 x Varshtann Type-22 Anti-Gravity Systems used to break planetary atmospheres of limited use in spaceborne operation
• Assorted small reaction thrusters and gyroscopes for all-environment maneuvers, attitude adjustment, and stability.

Powerplant:

• 1 x X'terra Type-84 anti-matter reactor providing electrical power to the mecha. Total output, 250 GW each.

Fuel Capacity:

• 833.6 liters of graphite reactant for plasma engines.

IV. Performance:

V. Sensory Systems:

Radar System:

• Hyzan X-band pulse-Doppler radar, providing long-range detection and tracking of targets at all altitudes.
• Hyzan IFF secondary surveillance transponder

Optical tracking:

• Bardaz multi-band digital camera system, for short range traversable UV, infra-red imaging and optical band detection and tracking;
• Bardaz multi-frequency laser ranger and designator.

Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS):

• Y'terk low power internal countermeasures system
• Y'terk hyperspace communications array
• Chaff/Flare Dispensers    
• Y'terk Active Missile Jammers
• Multiple VHF and UHF antennas

VI. Armament:

• 2 x Makral Mossil 920 Particle Beam Cannons:  Two long range Makral Mossil Type 920 particle beam cannons are mounted on top of the vessel.  Each weapon can fire 5 GJ shots every five seconds at a range of 50,000 km.  Although the weapons are optimized for anti-ship operations, the sensor system has been adjusted to allow more rapid acquisition of mecha sized units.
• 4 x Kuexer 27 Laser Cannons: Four Kuexer light laser cannons are mounted on the vessel, three facing forward and one towards the rear.  Each cannon can fire 55 MJ laser bursts twice per second.  The turrets and associated sensors are optimized for anti-mecha use; however they are often used to target specific locations on capital ships (gun turrets, sensor arrays, etc).  

Missiles:

• 2 x  Touwhaug Rasilszt-11 ZSSI-2 Rasan Missile Launchers:  Two Touwhaug Rasilszt-11 missile launchers are mounted on either side of the mecha.  Each launcher can hold 21 ZSSI-2 Rasan missiles with an additional full reload of 21.  Each launcher can fire up to three of the missiles every ten seconds.
• 2 x Moldile Mistreadkor-50 Ilari Missile Launchers:  Mounted on each either side of the Erebar Balnor are two Moldile Mistraedikor-50 missile launchers.  Each launcher fires semi-active laser guided ZRA-2 Ilari.  Each launcher can fire up to four at a time and has a capacity of 50 missiles.

VIII. Armor:

The armor of the Dakankahnna is composed of an advanced tungsten-titanium alloy. The armor stops all small arms and heavy infantry weapons fire, provides good resistance to light mecha-mounted weaponry, such as the Zentraedi 22.3mm HE autocannon round, and fair resistance to medium mecha-mounted weaponry, such as the 55mm APFSDS round, if the latter strikes perpendicular. Due to the sloping armor, incoming fire has a higher chance of a glancing hit.
