Electromissile

Electromissiles were missiles or torpedoes that also generated an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) upon impact and were considered a hybrid between proton and ion torpedoes. Due to their high expense, they were usually limited to capital ships, though some criminal organizations employed these torpedoes on smaller craft such as gunships and freighters. A common mishap involving electromissiles was that the EMP function would activate too early, which would disable the torpedo's tracking function and sometimes cause an early detonation, which further drove militaries away from using electromissiles on a large scale.
