Talwar
Talwar is struck in the Tempest's first rail-gun countervolley, its uncertain condition part of a sudden loss across nearly a third of the attack group.
Story so far
Talwar fights within the widely dispersed coalition force confronting the Heart of the Tempest. It joins an engagement intended to learn whether the Magnetar's magnetic projector works in ordinary space and whether conventional missiles and rails can exhaust or damage its defenses.
The Tempest reveals multiple rail guns and predictive fire control beyond coalition models. Observers see impacts on Talwar but do not yet receive direct system confirmation through the eighty-three-minute delay. Its uncertain fate joins those of Ontario, Severin, and Odachi in demonstrating the scale of one Laconian counterattack.
Appearance
