Concussion missiles

Concussion missiles are a nuclear-yield warhead that impacts on it's target at light speed or near light speed velocity, enabling it to penetrate even the most hardened armour.

They can be carried by pretty much any space craft from starfighter class upwards, and are part of the reason why capital ships protect themselves with projectile as well as ray shielding.

EF-5000 "Extreme Frag" concussion missile

This variety, created by RPF-roleplayer, Sith-I-5, is a Republic-era ordnance used whenever he needs that weapon.

Observed from a distance, the EF-5000 looks like a glowing yellow energy ball that flies away from the launcher, then slowly steers round to home in on the target.

Sith-I-5 uses same the naming convention as the late science fiction writer, Douglas Adams, where the name alludes to the function, and with the "Extreme Frag", Sithy likes to think, "it does what it says on the tin!"
