Deon International is the largest free-market conglomerate of in the world (at least in the SeaQuest Universe), and holder of much of the world's technology. The "Lysander" is Deon's major underwater weapon. Looking like a tailless manta-ray, the Lysander relies on its ultra-thin flying wing concept to give it speed rather than the complex "albacore" designs employed by the UEO on the spectre (the Lysanders only rival). The Lysander is generally considered equal to be the Spectre's equal, though both have their strengths and weaknessess. While having lower durability and sluggish response in turns (-3 dodge) due to drag, the Lysander makes up for it with its Subduction weaponry; particle liquification guns which can turn a settlement's foundantion into quicksand instantly. Macronesia has the most Lysander Sub Fighters in the world, outnumbering the UEO almost four-to-one in sub fighters.
Crew: 1 pilot (no room for passengers)
Length: 17 feet
Width: 35 feet
Height: 4 feet
Weight: almost 2 tons
Power System: Nuclear; 7 year life
Weapons Systems:
1. Laser Cannon (2): RM (30) damage by one cannon, AM (50) damage by both; 15 area range
Twin lasers are mounted in the nose of the sub fighter on either side of the cockpit. Since the sub is designed for speed, they are fixed positions, firing ahead of the vessel.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Rate of Fire: Equal to the Number of Hand-to-Hand Attacks the Pilot has
Payload: Effectively Unlimited
2. Subduction Pulse Guns (2): MN (75) damage limited to solid material; 15 area range
The Laser Cannons can be converted to fire a subduction blast. What is subduction? While its process is still a mystery, its effects are well known: It turns land-mass to soup. Any SDC material (such as stone, plant material, humans in armour...) will instantly be turned into an unidentifiable liquified mass. This device is designed to attack underwater settlements. Fire a few Subduction blasts into their foundation, and the habitats sink into the mire and break up. Sure beats having to punch away at the MDC armoured hull with laser attacks.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: None
Rate of Fire: Equal to the Pilot's Hand-to-Hand attacks.
Payload: Effectively Unlimited
