With the dawn of FTL Directed Force Energy weapons, most societies stop the development of missile weapons. Not so the Union. While the Spatial Navy relies mostly on the reliable and devastating Loki Torpedo and the SII Havoc heavy ship to ship missile which are not only class X weapons, but very expensive and complicated weapon systems. Union arms and munition manufacturers offer a wide variety of very advanced ordinance to para military groups and licensed private entities.

One such weapon system us the light Yellow Jacket ship to ship missile. This weapon is a fire and forget weapon system with a good reach and able to bridge the distance via Quasi Space jumps. The 3 meter 600 kg weapon features double 10 gram Anti Matter warheads, with delayed release. First warhead intended to punch through shields the second to inflict damage to the target.

While an individual YJ might not be able to penetrate strong military shields, a swarm of twenty has been able to destroy a T Cruiser. A swarm of fifty will overwhelm anything the Kermac, the Togar or Karthanians have.
