Hellstrider Research

"If it doesn't exist, is there a reason it doesn't?"Hellstrider Research and Development, simply referred as Research or R&D, is a qualification tab for Hellstriders that wish to focus on developing new weapon and utility technologies for the benefit of the tide of battle for the Hellstriders. This can include prototype weapons to more efficient food-supplies whilst on the field.

Research and Development are behind all custom weapon and utility tech utilized by the Hellstriders. The Research team takes orders mostly from the Quartermaster to develop new technologies or to reverse-engineer enemy tech. (Practically reverse-engineering Mor'arg tech not advisable for Quel'dorei)

Areas studied
The Research and Development team are for those that have love for the engineering skill or that of alchemy and knowledge rather than the combat prowess. The technologies made within this team are often a mix of different skills.

Technologies created
The amount of technologies created by the R&D team grows nearly everyday with each new idea and expansion upon the old. A list can be found below.
 * The Poison Black Arrow: Holds a poison extremely deadly to demons and humanoids, when the arrow hits its target, the vial inside the arrowhead shatters, allowing the poison to seep out small gaps in the arrowhead.
 * The Explosive Black Arrow: Holds an explosive charge within the arrowhead. When the arrow comes into contact with the target, it detonates the core of the head, causing an explosive effect.
 * The Black Bolt: The modification of the standard Black Arrow for a crossbow. The head is shrunken by two-thirds.

Technologies in Development

 * The HS-13: An aircraft in the design stage, modified from a Gnomish Bomber, to be able to fly at high speeds without the pilot loosing control or the aircraft breaking up. Will be used to drop supplies in high-risk areas quickly.
 * The Legion Breaker: An finely tuned gaseous poison which will work only on demonic creatures. The poison will be highly potent and will be effective against even Greater Demons. This is only in the theory stage and will have every part of the recipe completed and ready to deploy preemptively encase of a large demon presence. This was commissioned by Lady Sabariel Greenwood and is kept highly secret.
