Miniature Proton Torpedo Launcher

About the Miniature Proton Torpedo Launcher

Shrinking a starfighter's ordnance to shoulder-fired scale is the kind of engineering that gets people killed, and this launcher wears its danger openly. It cradles a compact proton torpedo, the same class of energized warhead that starfighters loose at capital ships, and delivers it in a devastating blast that flattens fortifications and armor alike. Firing one is a heavy, deliberate act; the launcher is bulky, the ammunition scarce and ruinously expensive, and the backblast unforgiving of the careless. Only the best-equipped mercenaries, elite commandos, and warlords with deep coffers ever field one. What it buys is the ability to end a threat that no rifle could touch, to open a bunker or gut a walker with a single reload. It is a weapon of last resort and grand statements, and it makes both with equal finality.
