Assassin Pods

Operation:
Assassin Pods (APs) were developed as the ultimate in stealth insertion vehicles for single Inisfreean operatives.  In the form of a diamond, these wingless 'darts', as some call them, carry in and out of orbit and atmosphere one Inisfreean whose function is to assassinate at least one high-value target in the signature Inisfreean fashion; Inisfreeans neutralize threats by assassinating not the person, but whatever it is in that target's mind or environment which is causing them to be a severe threat or obstacle to all that which is natural, loving, and good.

​​Once the 'dart' (AP) has reached an acceptable point just outside of the enemy force's range of detection, the Inisfreean within ejects while the 'dart' remains out of detection range and patrolling in the stratosphere or higher (though this is just an extra precaution as part of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), given that it is entirely possible this and most other Inisfreean vehicles will always be completely undetectable even at point-blank range to most Outlander technology).  Of all the Inisfreean aerospacecraft, this one is the stealthiest by far, but part of that is the result of not only its superb technology, but how it maneuvers in relation to its opponents; always staying in their 'blind spots', even de-cloaked, it would be all but impossible to spot.

​​The Inisfreean, generally appearing either completely invisible or like the translucent silhouette one might expect of a shadow elemental, then accelerates to terminal velocity on a trajectory directly toward the target.  Oftentimes, this Inisfreean's mental abilities and specialized gear are so powerful and precise that the Inisfreean doesn't even need to finish her descent toward the ground; she can successfully mind-interface with the target and make all the necessary modifications while still in free-fall -and clandestinely.  Once this is complete, the AP rapidly and silently (and without any contrail) swoops back down on an interception course with the Inisfreean and matches her descent so that the Inisfreean can ease back into the pilot compartment without having to change velocity.  Cavitation of the AP then resumes, negating most forces -to include gravity, air friction, and inertia- and the AP carries the Inisfreean right back up into orbit and away; off to her parent vessel.

Armament:
Besides being completely built from the ground up around the primary function of being as undetectable as any technology ever could be, each AP packs with it one hell of a punch.  In the event of detection, interception, or imminent compromise, this car-sized aerospacecraft has enough firepower to fly through Dreadnought-class Space warships several times before having to recharge and reload; dozens of cloaked and cavitating, black-hole smart-missiles are on-line in its 'nose' and 'side-points', ready to fire by-mind at any moment, allowing this extremely intelligent vessel to plot courses into the suction ranges of these miniature black-holes to help more rapidly yank it through the ravaged pathways they just created.  These black-hole weapons include features such as the 'rainbow canons' of Inisfree's Perimeter Wall have; being able to almost instantly scan, analyze, and target any object, adjusting their projectiles to cause the maximum possible damage to the identified weakest point(s) on the target.  When it comes to black-hole weapons, this means setting the radius, power, duration, and event horizon length all within a fraction of a second.

​​And what the AP lacks in tonnage, it makes up for there (with those missiles), as well as with its speed and counter-measures; APs are capable of warp-surfing (traveling faster than the speed of light; by bypassing its theoretical barrier) so long as they have compatible sources of fuel -which they, like most Inisfreean constructs, can subatomically create from converting just about anything.  Lastly, its jamming suite works across the entire spectrum of all energy types, not being limited to just electronic, radio, and microwave, as most Outlander devices of a similar nature are.


Fail-safes:
Though regarded as immortal and indestructible, each AP, like all Inisfreean vehicles, comes standard with a rapid-recall ability; like the Inisfreeans these vessels carry, the vessels themselves can be 'summoned' from any distance, resulting in it teleporting back into the Inisfreean realm, should any threat somehow indicate a potential for actually causing damage or capture.  Should the AP actually be compromised in any way, the Inisfreean can be 'summoned' right out of its cockpit compartment in the same way, and the craft thereby remote- or auto-detonated; another (and much larger) black-hole weapon.
Note

So far (as of 2517 A.D.), all training and launches (missions) of this type of Inisfreean aerospacecraft are compartmentalized with the highest level of classification, all being rated as Black Operations.

It is rumored amongst the Inisfreean inner circle that a one Nyria Serra (likely an alias) was able to pilot one of these Assassin Pods out across the Milky Way Galaxy to covertly insert herself amongst the population of one of the newly colonized worlds in the 34 Tauri multiple-star system.​​
