The Union of Independent Republics had a force of large, nuclear-tipped, ballistic missiles housed within missile silos and bunkers during the Pendulum Wars.[1]

The Ostri Republic had major facilities such as Aspho Point, which housed multiple silos of these nuclear weapons to be launched when given the command.[2] Some were hidden in discreet bunkers[3].

History[]

Pendulum Wars[]

During the Battle of Aspho Fields, Dominic Santiago and Victor Hoffman led a team of commandos to steal the Hammer of Dawn plans in Operation: Leveler. As the UIR scientists behind the Hammer of Dawn were kept inside Aspho Point, a raid was successfully conducted to abduct these scientists.

During the raid, a nuclear missile was seen being prepared by the Indies.[4] However, the Ostri Republic was unable to launch.[5]

Functionality[]

Aspho Missile

Missile in Aspho Fields. Note the exhausted coolant.

These nuclear missiles were exceptionally large weapons that rivaled the rockets from both the UIR and COG in size.

These missiles were powered by some kind of liquid-fueled rocket engines, as shown during the Battle of Aspho Fields; with coolant seen exhausted out from the missiles[6].
