Grig's panel indicates when enemy ships are within Death Blossom range.
The "Death Blossom" is a protoype weapon system with which the new Gunstar, designated Gunstar One, is equipped.
Overview[]
The Death Blossom system had never been tested till Alex Rogan employed it when fighting the Kodan Armada.
Grig, who had installed the weapon and was also serving as Alex's navigator, had concerns that the weapon could overload the system and blow up the ship. As a result, it was deemed as a weapon of last resort. The system functioned properly when Alex employed it, but its major drawback was that it drained the ship's main power reserves. Grig was able to use life support power to jumpstart the reactor afterwards.
Alex initiates Death Blossom and destroys the Kodan Deck Fighters.
When so employed, the Death Blossom delivered one massive volley of laser blasts and photon bolts at close range as the ship was propelled into a rapid spin in all directions. After releasing its payload, the Death Blossom panels would automatically close and the ship would drift with only life support power still active.
The Death Blossom trigger was located on the right side of the gunner's chair.
