Italian Support Squadrons

Italian Support Squadrons Information

"While our discoveries of Sturginium and its applications have heralded a time of scientific wonders unrecognizable to previous generations, there has also been a recent revival of older designs but with far more potent results. The Rostratum Naval Ballista is a perfect example of this. The simple idea of firing a bolt to hit and penetrate a target has existed since antiquity. The Italian engineers of the Latin Alliance have advanced this in a way that would only be possible with previously unknown understandings of engineering. They have designed bolts from current alloys that weigh only a fraction of a comparable steel structure while retaining their material hardness. Instead of twisted ropes, they employ electromagnetic rails to fire the bolts at incredible speeds. Reports of a projectile hitting the hull of an enemy ship and then being retrieved to bring the target into a less desirable position are equally disturbing and intriguing. I propose that we further explore such ideas. Imagine the untapped potential we already have in our history. Picture a trebuchet a thousand times stronger than its recorded force, Da Vinci's designs becoming reality, or Greek fire produced on an industrial scale."
