Specifically designed to combat AeroSpace Fighters, the '''Piranha''' was the most effective of the Sub-Capital Missiles developed by the Word of Blake. Capable of being mounted alongside other weapons, the Piranha was most effective when it was installed in a separate weapon bay. Isolating the Piranha from other weapons allowed its targeting and tracking systems to follow fast moving targets more effectively. Any AeroSpace Fighter hit by a Piranha would suffer as much damage as a simultaneous hit from a pair of [[Gauss rifle]]s.

Since it could inflict large amounts of damage on fast moving targets, the Piranha missile launcher was popular with commanders who faced large amounts of AeroSpace Fighters. The fact that it could be used just as effectively against larger targets like DropShips and WarShips only increased its appeal. Furthermore, large numbers of this missile were produced because it could be launched by planet-based defenses against a planet-based target.
