    Tactical Component

    Increases superdevice recovery rate by 90% when shield is below 40%.

  • Predation Shield Disintegrator Beam

    Superdevice

    Discharges a special beam to link a target within 21km for 12s. The link deals 160 damage to the target and recovers 179 shield to the ship every second. The link breaks if the target is out of range.

  • Cruiser Artillery

    Thruster

    Boosts your ship's velocity by 100% for 30s.

Ship Background

The Whinstone cruiser was confirmed to be a heavy disruption ship in the 6th R&D Conference in 843 AG. With a stable fire control system, the Whinstone is a reliable patrol ship.

The Blackbear frigate's researchers were involved in the development of the Whinstone cruiser. Therefore, they followed the Blackbear's idea and adopted the Predation Shield Disintegrator Beam weapon ""Ripper - Y - L"" as the cruiser's main artillery. This main artillery adopts beams with a special wavelength. These beams disintegrate enemy ships' crystallized shields into primary wave energy. The energy is then extracted to recharge the Whinstone's shield generator, and improves the ship's EM resistance through a series of complicated effects. As for tactical components, researchers used a Reactive Reactor Control Unit. When the system determines that the ship's shields are in danger, the shield energy is transferred to the main turret to accelerate the weapon's energy accumulation. By applying this solution, the ship's shields are protected from being damaged, which ensures the ship's survival on the battlefield.

Such a design made the Whinstone a perfect cruiser during Galactic War IV. Especially during the Winter Offensive in 924 AG, the ship's excellent performance laid the foundations for victory in the campaign.

However, by adopting predatory beams for the main weapon (a representative weapon in Oracle) and a conservative design (emphasizing survivability), the designers were identified as traitors to the great republic and were sentenced to death.

Ironically, the design that was once considered contrary to Svarn spirit is now treated as a stable and smart design and is widely adopted.
