Laser Inhibiting Warhead

LI Warhead in action

Description

The Laser Inhibiting Warhead (LI Warhead) was developed circa 3053 by New Avalon Institute of Science as a defensive missile system for Arrow IV launchers. Upon launch it released gas which thanks to intense prismatic qualities diffused laser beams and obscures vision. LI Warhead gas raises higher than smoke, though disperses more quickly.
