Yavian flinger

Flingers were devices used by Yavian warlords on the planet Yavia. Their role was to launch the monster fighting force directly into an enemy base without the need for a long march. The monsters would be gathered and packed into the flinger's bucket, and then launched.

This strategy worked properly due to Yavia's low gravity and the warlords use of Goo to envelop and protect their troops. The monsters landed at their destination unharmed.

When used offworld on planets with standard gravity, flingers worked poorly and the troops were either injured or killed.
