The "External Repellent System" is a series of torpedo flak cannons dug into the trenches floor, built to allow for safe passage of our vessels to and from the Blacksite. In 1977, 3 years after the Blacksite had finished construction, the veil of the Let-Vand zone was becoming overcrowded with █████, severely disrupting logistics. Whilst the █████, were present before the Let-Vand zones discovery, they weren't as prevalent or as close to the Blacksite's area of construction. It's assumed that the vigorous amount of noise pollution from our transportation logistics had lured them closer to our area of operation.
It was impossible to mount weaponry onto the submarines, as the pressure before they reached the veil would be too heavy for the new torpedo portholes, so another solution had to be found. With construction beginning in early 1977 and finishing in 1979, the "External Repellent System" was constructed to safeguard the Blacksite from the swarms █████.
Running on the Navi-AI, the Repellent cannons will automatically target and fire on █████ that enter within a █████ by ███████ stud radius of the Blacksite, even though their actual max distance measures at 160000 studs. In case the Navi-AI goes down for any reason, a control tower is built into each cannon, allowing for human operation.
With the █████ trying to get a nibble of our transportation logistics around the clock, the Repellent cannons need to be maintained daily, and ammo must be in abundance. Should all of the Repellent cannons systems go down for any reason it would only take about 20 hours for the to darken the skies above the Blacksite center of the Blacksite, meaning that any logistical transportation will need to be dropped off at the furthest docks.
Due to the immense size of the barrels, and the gun itself, each Repellent cannon has to be loaded like an old flintlock, meaning reload times take upwards of 7 minutes. This is acceptable, as 1 shot is more than enough to kill a █████, and scare off any surrounding ones. Once the shots have been fired, "Blackpowder" Class Submarines will latch onto a rocket-propelled torpedo shell stationed nearby, and will then carry it up to the barrel, where it will then reload the torpedo. It costs $40,000 to fire one shell, but the profit margin that the Blacksite tunes out has deemed this dent in the bank account acceptable.
