Kinetic Bombardment Weapons

Kinetic Strike Weapons are uncommon but not surprising to find in the Military side of Blocksworld. They are made to delivery a payload quickly from orbit to ground, and able to bypass the UN Regulations against "Weapons of Mass Destruction".

Origins
The first recorded use of the Kinetic Strike Weapon was by the PMRDD, after the Siege of NNI. The PMRDD needed a new weapon system to eliminate new Silent threats popping across the globe, so Cliff Ricks commissioned Project "Lightning Shard", a project to transport five prototype "LS-Rs" into orbit, to test its effectiveness. After successful testing and operations, another 10 was sent into orbit throughout 2016-2017, and a further 5 sent into orbit in 2020.

Combat
The Kinetic Bombardment system, specifically the PMRDD's "LS-Rs" seen the most use in the PMRDD Civil Wars, against Xteck facilities, JTF forces, and HEX Forces. Seven LS-Rs were lost in the wars combined, mainly from HEX missile attacks.

Current Status
LS-R Strikers were eventually replaced it with the Angel of Serenity Class in late 2020, leaving the kinetic Weapons in orbit and classified as "Space Junk" or "Target Practice" (leading to a further 5 lost in space trials for warships). When the PMRDD Disolved in 2022 by Director Higgs Boson, the Kinetic Strikers were left in orbit. Many of the strikers can still be accessed by pre-war PMRDD Facilities scattered around the planet.
