Description
Until the Federated Suns started researching them, the Cruise Missile had been resigned to history. Basically a large version of the unguided Arrow IV missile, theAFFS began testing the Cruise Missile in 3065. Unlike the Arrow IV missile system, there is no "guided" or "homing" cruise missile. This relative inaccuracy offsets the tremendous damage they cause.[3]
The Cruise Missile 50 is the smallest of the Cruise Missiles. Though it uses a launcher that weighs as much as a Griffin and fires missiles that mass as much as a Commando, the Cruise Missile 50 is the most likely to be carried by a combat vehicle or support unit. Even this is rare however, as the size of the missiles and launcher leave almost no room for armor, weaponry, or engines.
