Halo: Mass Contact

by BattleshipFusou

Thirty-five years have past since the end of the Human-Covenant War. Having reclaimed most all its previous glory, the UNSC exploration locates a massive artificial construct in the outer orbit of a star. While investigating the object alongside their Sangheili allies, new aliens come forth from the construct and bring humanity into a fate they never expected. ON HIATUS

4. Info Dump, As Requested

So there was a request to know more about what sort of upgrades the UNSC has undergone in 35 years, so I decided to do this by revealing a new class of ship you'll be seeing in an up coming chapter. I had written up this ship for another story a fellow author is writing, but since they haven't used it, I'm going to make use of it as proprietary writings. So here we go.

By the way, the next chapter is already in the works, so don't worry about that., this is just addressing a request that was made.

OoOoOoOoO

Advancements:

PLAR: Short for Particle Lance Acceleration Ring, the PLAR is essentially a three kilometer diameter particle accelerator similar in design to the Large Hadron Collider. Accelerating enormousness amounts of protons and neutrons to to nearly light-speed, the turret fires by siphoning the protons and neutrons out of the stream inside the acceleration ring and firing them out in a laser thin lance that hits with force on par with a large MAC round and travels at near light speed. Unfortunately, the size of a PLAR's acceleration ring means that only the largest of ships are capable of using them.

Point SSRG:

Point SSRG: The point SSRG takes the destruction of the Long Night of Solace and the Slip Space Comm Probe Launches to their logical, weaponized conclusion. Built into the bowels of whatever ship houses it and heavily armored, the SSRG uses precise coordinates to generate slipspace ruptures at distances of up to 500,000 kilometers. These ruptures are completely wild and doing nothing less than turn whatever is within range of the rupture into atomized pieces, spread across the multi-dimensions of slip space.

Neo-Titanium:

Neo-Titanium: Neo-Titanium is the UNSC's first significant step in mass production of Forerunner alloys. Only the limited production and creation and said alloys have necessitated that they have to be mixed with standard Titanium-A into a weaker alloy that is still significantly stronger than standard UNSC ship battle plate.
