Background[]
This Earth Forces weapon was developed by AeroTech to counter the threat of an advanced Chig stealth fighter. The missile uses Sewell Fuel as a complex perpetuating explosive warhead.[1]
AeroTech only had time to build a single prototype missile, hoping to destroy the Chig's prototype fighter before it could become their standard fighter spacecraft.
Use During the Chig War[]
Missile prep aboard the SARATOGA
During the Chig War, the missile was loaded onto a SA-43 Hammerhead flown by LTC Tyrus Cassius "T.C." McQueen of the 58th Squadron. Colonel McQueen flew a solo mission to locate, attack, and destroy Chiggy von Richthofen in the Chig stealth fighter. He engaged the Chig in the Achilles Region, where he out maneuvered Chiggy and scored the kill with the missile.
