The Rocket-Propelled Polygeminus grex Launcher is the only Traveler-enhanced weapon currently banished for use on the City's Wall.

OPERATION AND EFFECTS:

The RPPG launches a single specimen of Polygeminus grex trapped in a stasis field with a large amount of food strapped to three mini-burst rockets. Upon impact, the stasis field is lifted, allowing the specimen, known for being born pregnant, to quickly reproduce, effectively burying the target. Should the food not be enough for multiple reproductions, the species is more than capable of emitting cooing sounds known for its psychotropic soothing effect on most sentient species our scientist are currently aware of.

The "ammo" must be stored in proper PGSCs (Polygeminus grex Stasis Containers), coloquially known as "Tribble Freezer", big cylinders infused with Traveler stasis tech.

EARLY DEVELOPMENTS:

Early designs included a spring-loaded launcher, which proved catastrophic for the entire human colony in Venus. Any Tribble-based weaponry has since been banished from anywhere within 124.5 miles* of any human colony. Several Tribble-based inter-planetary missiles have been put under careful study by the City's Defence Council, but the recent Europa Treaty has banished long-range** Tribble-based weaponry.

*Current safety radius is 134.7 miles. Safety radius constantly recalculated by continuous improvement in mathematical models.
