JYKKERNAKT

The JYKKERNAKT Initiative (often abbreviated to JNI) is an Ursk military project which began in 2014. Many of the specifics are classified by the Ursk Government, but the results of the initiative have been deployed in armed combat only 2 times.

The project is believed to cost the Ursk Government around Λ500 billion annually, and is developed in conjunction with SKALAR Corporation.

JYKKERNAKT 0
The project was first created in 2014 as part of a collaboration between SKALAR's FRAKTAL division and the Ursk Government to produce directed energy weapons. The first cycle of the project was declassified in 2017, and involves the production of 1 prototype weapon - a heavy railgun, codenamed 'Grute Berþa' but officially named the JNI0-0XA.

JYKKERNAKT 1-4
Not much is known about the following range of weapons, as they were never used in war. It is believed that these following cycles came in quick succession between 2015 to 2020 and were likely prototypes.

JYKKERNAKT 5
The 5th generation of JNI was used in the First Cslymyian War against Cslymyian troops.

The known weapons of this generation include:

JNI5-2TW
The JNI5-2IW, also known as 'Odin's Fury', was an electromagnetic railgun mounted onto specially modified Ursk tanks. The weapon was capable of firing 10cm-wide tungsten/depleted-uranium alloy shells at a velocity of around 3km/s. The shells evaporate in flight due to friction, causing superheated helium to explode into plasma. These weapons were extremely effective against Cslymyian tanks, often over-penetrating them.

JNI5-3IR
The JNI5-3IR, also known as 'Duraldon', is a directed energy rifle used by Ursk SPEKTER legions. The weapon, which was semi-automatic, fired superheated helium plasma at targets. The weapon, whilst somewhat heavy due to the massive lithium-carbon batteries, was extremey effective at destroying mechanised and armoured divisions. It also had a kill range of 5km and could be used as a sniper rifle.

JYKKERNAKT 6
The JNI6 weapons were prototypes refined by data collected in the First and Second Cslymyian War. Not much is known about them.

JYKKERNAKT 7
The JNI7 range were used in the Nordesion War against Nordesion troops. The JNI7 range were extremely effective.

JNI7-1EM
The JNI7-1EM, also known as the 'Steel Dragon', is a handheld railgun used by JYKKERNAKT7 divisions. They used the weapons as breaching cannons to access reinforced buildings. The weapon fires a continuous stream of helium plasma, which heats temporarily to around 50,000 Kelvin, evaporating almost anything.

JNI7-XOX
The XOX, also known as 'Walking Ghost Maker', is a controversial weapon which uses focused proton-beam lasers to give any organisms in its path acute radiation syndrome.

JNI7-3EN
The JNI7-3EN is a fully-automatic assault rifle which fires helium plasma.

JYKKERNAKT in the future
The Ursk Government is believed to currently be working on 'JYKKERNAKT X', a revamp of the project which could be sold commercially.
