Designation: DL-Tempest I (T1)

Brief Description and Capabilities/ Lore
  • Known as the DL-Tempest I, or simply T1. The project, codenamed "Project Tempest", was shrouded in secrecy throughout the late 1930s, with the U.N.R.H. recognizing the need for a potent weapon capable of turning the tide in their favor. Inspired by the tumultuous nature of the project itself, the name "Tempest" emerged as a representation of the storm that the T1 would unleash upon its adversaries.
    It carried a sense of authority and gravitas and conveyed the message that the flying bomb was not to be taken lightly, but rather approached with caution and reverence.

  • Trial and error became the norm as countless hours were spent in research, development and refining the design. Equipped with a simple autopilot system, its sleek and streamlined design allows it to glide through the air at great speed, delivering a powerful payload.

  • Designed to wreak havoc on key installations, military bases, and infrastructure, the T1's ability to strike from a distance, evade enemy defenses, and delivering a devastating payload with uncanny accuracy would become a game-changer on the battlefield.
