During the invasion of Terra, only one of ten ''Dragon's Breath'' systems were effective.<ref name=jhst187/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The Dragon's Breath Capital Missile system fires ten [[Killer Whale]] sized warheads at the target. Four of these missiles carried electronic warfare gear to jam enemy sensors. The following six missiles would then slam into the target, crippling or destroying it. The six explosive missiles launch in a staggered pattern: First two missiles would launch, followed by three missiles, and then a final missile. The Word's engineers wanted the first two waves of explosive missiles to strip the armor off the WarShip allowing the final missile to destroy key internal components. The Dragon's Breath retained the twelve [[Small Laser]]s used by the civilian station that provided the housing for the missile launcher. ==Cargo== There are four cargo bays. The first is an unpressurized repair bay capable of holding 10,000 tons. This bay held the actual Dragon's Breath missile launcher. The second bay holds two [[Small Craft Cubicle]]s. The third bay is home to the ore processing equipment, while the fourth holds 1,350 tons of cargo. ==Variants== There are no known variants of the Dragon's Breath system. ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' [[Category:Space Station classes]] [[Category:Word of Blake Spacecraft]]
