HM Fractioniser

A type of large, extremely loud weapon of the HEX Mainframe.   Fractionisers are deployed from orbit via a large Omnicannon-like weapon. The shell that they arrive in are very large and strong. Upon arrival, they will deploy and create an extremely loud screeching noise that will heavily damage the morale of any organics on the planet that are capable of hearing. This type of weapon, though highly feared, can be countered by enemy ewar or using machines such as turrets or Sentient Robot to shoot them. After deployment, Fractionisers will last about 10 hours under battery charge.   Fractionisers work by vibrating a large orb placed on the top of the device that violently vibrates in every direction. This is driven by a device that utilizes quantum computers to generate random numbers and cause the vibrator to move in random directions at random intervals between several hundred gigahertz and 1 Hz. Energy is generated through a relatively weak antimatter reaction that is both used to generate electricity to operate the machine and to mechanically steer the orb with extreme force via several very powerful chanelling ducts that direct the explosions in different directions. Due to the extreme noise they make, they are easy to find and destroy by any species or robot that doesnt detect sound, as longas they have a device that can. Fractionisers have no armour outside of the shell itself and are very easy to destroy. The antimatter inside means that the resulting explosion tends to be quite powerful. The HF can counter them with power armour. These suits are designed to allow a person to withstand any known environment, including neutralize all sound nearby. This will make them unable to percieve sound outside of the armour but almost entirely uneffected by the Fractioniser. Other factions also have their counters, often similar to the power armour in that they block out all sound.
