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, the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns 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 70 weighs as much as a Zeus and fires missiles that are heavy as a Panther. They haven't been seen in action yet, and no information about their deployment is known.

Models

There is no information about manufacturers or models.
