− Until the [[Federated Suns]] started researching them, the '''Cruise Missile''' had been assigned to history. Basically a large version of the unguided [[Arrow IV Artillery|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.<ref name=TOp284>''Tactical Operations'', pp. 284-285, Arillery - Cruise Missile Artillery</ref> What cruise missiles lack in precision however, they make up for in sheer terror. Even at the tactical level the effect of massive warheads impacting without warning on the battlefield can make even the most experienced and capable units break and flee. <ref name=TOp211>''Tactical Operations'', pp. 211-212, "Morale Checks" - (Cruise Missiles Attacks).</ref> + Until the [[Federated Suns]] started researching them, the '''Cruise Missile''' had been resigned to history.

The '''Cruise Missile 90''' weighs as much as an ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]''. The missiles are more difficult to transport than a ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'' or ''[[Vindicator]]''. They haven't been seen in action yet, and no information about their deployment is known. The '''Cruise Missile 90''' weighs as much as an ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]''.
