Recognizing that the GTVA fighter corps had been drilled intensively in bomb-intercept missions, the UEF Navy commissioned the Oxys-Ultor GES-23 Warhammer Swarm Torpedo. Unlike traditional anti-capital ship bombs and torpedoes, the Warhammer employs a special delivery rack capable of firing these guided torpedoes in swarms of four. To protect pilots from the explosive blast of four to eight torpedoes, the torpedoes are equipped with sensors which activate the warheads only when they are within 250 meters of target. Warhammers are limited in their yield, but they are excellent tactical weapons, routinely deployed to saturate enemy point defenses. They are as much a distraction as an attack. Sanctus cruisers mount Warhammers on their ventral and dorsal torpedo stations in their wartime configuration
Most commonly seen used on the Sanctus cruiser. The large number of torpedoes fired in a single salvo allows it to easily saturate the point-defense systems of Tev capital ships. Unfortunately, this ability can also be used against you in certain missions (warning: spoilers) by members of the Gaian Effort, who use its swarm capabilities to their advantage, essentially inundating important targets with massive amounts of fire that take a lot of skill to intercept.
