Overview

A nippy, accurate dogfighting missile developed alongside, and a great match for, the Raptors series fighters.

Detonation effects Like most other missiles, the initial warhead blast inflicts shield damage. Immediately afterward, a spray of kinetic shrapnel inflicts additional damage to the target, sometimes causing catastrophic hull integrity failure. This is especially true if the target's shields were softened up first with a primary weapon barrage.
