Romulan Warbird Torpedoes
A salvo of heavy, elongated warheads launched from a Romulan warbird: dark metallic casings that streak bright against the void, trailing ion plumes before slamming home. One torpedo impacts a smaller scout, flashing and rupturing the hull in a visceral blast that strips plating and scatters debris. The strike reads as precise and overwhelming—shrapnel and fire bloom around the crippled scout while nearby vessels and bridge crews register shock and urgent response as life signs and wreckage drift in microgravity.
