Tatsumaki full#

An unknown number of years before the events of the main story, Tatsumaki saved Fubuki from bullies at their school, launching a kid who tried jumping on her into the air. Later on in her life, she encountered the rouge esper Otento and held grudge against him.

Tatsumaki answered that her powers weren't working, but Blast recognized that she was lying, and warned her to not expect anyone to save her next time. He then introduced himself to the young esper and questioned her on why she didn't use her psychic powers to save herself. Luckily, Blast managed to come to Tatsumaki's rescue. 18 years ago, when she was 10, a monster outbreak occurred while she was still locked in a cell, leaving her alone to fend off the monster. Moreover, the scientists locked her up in a cell whenever she wouldn't use her powers. They rewarded her with candy and toys for cooperation, but denied her requests to go outside. She was tested on by the scientists because of her extraordinary powers. Her parents were given money for complying. Her psychic abilities eventually led to her being taken away from her adopted family at the age of seven by scientists interested in studying her powers. To try and protect the vessel against missile attacks, the Tatsumaki mounted an anti-missile system on all angles (save the broadsides), with a shared eighteen tons of ammunition.As a child, Tatsumaki was born with psychic powers and she was taken away by scientists at the age of seven, to test her powers. Two hundred tons of Heavy Naval Gauss ammunition, a hundred rounds' worth, and Naval autocannon munitions, five hundred rounds, give the design's capital weapons impressive endurance, a feature likewise shared with it anti-fighter weapons carrying sixty tons of 'Mech gauss reloads and hundred and twenty-five of LRM missiles.

Directly aft, twin Heavy NPPCs and five LRM-20s discourage attack from the rear. Both of the Tatsumakis broadsides feature two Medium NPPCs and single NAC/20, with ten ER Large Lasers and ten Medium Pulse Lasers for anti-fighter defense. The nose bays mount a single Heavy N-Gauss and two NAC/20s supported by ten Medium Pulse Lasers, while each fore and aft angle carries five Gauss rifles and Artemis IV FCS enhanced LRM-20s in support of a Heavy NPPC and NAC/20. Mounting an array dominated by Pulse Lasers and Naval Autocannons, the Tatsumaki is a deadly, if short-ranged, combatant. The Tatsumaki is also notable for being the only modern Combine WarShip to lack a Lithium-Fusion Battery.

The vessel also serves as the ideal platform for boarding actions, carrying a full battalion of battle armor troops. Thanks to a doubling of the number of the technical crew carried by each vessel these problematic systems are under control, but the Draconis Combine Admiralty halted procurement at two ships already constructed, with combat losses reducing the class to a single orphan vessel.ĭesigned primarily to escort JumpShip fleets, the Tatsumaki is clad in four hundred and seventy-four tons of Ferro-Carbide armor and features a large array of primarily short-ranged anti-fighter and capital-grade weaponry, placing it on par with other SLDF destroyers of similar size. The fourth design in the Draconis Combine's resurgent post– Succession Wars WarShip fleet, the Tatsumaki problems stem from the extremely hasty and rushed design and construction of the class, with only the Combine's dire need for WarShips even allowing the design to enter service. Originally named as an allusion to the whirlwind of weapon fire it can unleash, the name of the Tatsumaki-class (Japanese for 'Tornado') destroyer is viewed by many in the DCMS as more aptly referring to the endless storm of technical problems that plague the design.
