Anti-Ship Electronic Warfare Missile

Description

Anti-Ship Electronic Warfare Missiles, also called ASEW Missiles, were a type of missile mounted on Aerospace Fighters external hardpoints. They were developed in 3067 by Lyran Alliance to make up for their small fleet size, these unique missiles never entered mass production.[1] . Undergoing tests in days before the breakout of the Jihad, these missiles could not damage a ship directly, but instead cripple weapons accuracy, render Naval C3 and Naval Comm-Scanner Suite systems ineffective, and jam a Kearny-Fuchida Drive with electronic static, delaying its ability to jump. However this weapon can be used only in space.

Notes

Game Notes

Each missile takes 6 bomb slots and weights 2 tons. It's cost is 20,000 Cbills, and Tech rating is marked E/X-X-E. ASEW missiles suffer a +4 modifier to hit targets less than 500 tons, and may not be launched by units within an atmosphere or on the Space/Atmosphere Interface.
