Until the [[Federated Suns]] started researching them, the '''Cruise Missile''' had been resigned to history. Using the large nuclear warhead equipped missiles used by factions on pre-spaceflight Terra, the Cruise Missile was designed to provide artillery support to ground forces. By exchanging the nuclear warhead for a conventional explosive, the engineers assigned to the project created what is essentially a large version of the unguided [[Arrow IV Artillery|Arrow IV]] missile. In 3065, the [[AFFS]] began testing the Cruise Missile. Due to their size and range, the cruise missile launch systems are most likely going to be installed in static fortifications or large mobile structures. Even if an individual combat unit could carry the launcher, the sheer size of the missile makes it difficult for the vehicle to carry additional rounds. Unlike the Arrow IV missile system, there is no "guided" or "homing" cruise missile. This relative inaccuracy offsets the tremendous damage they cause.<ref name=to284>''Tactical Operations'', pp. 284-285 - Cruise Missile (Basic info) - Basic information.</ref>

Description

Until the Federated Suns started researching them, the Cruise Missile had been resigned to history. Basically a large version of the unguided Arrow IV missile, theAFFS began testing the Cruise Missile in 3065. Unlike the Arrow IV missile system, there is no "guided" or "homing" cruise missile. This relative inaccuracy offsets the tremendous damage they cause.[3]

The Cruise Missile 70 weighs as much as a Zeus and fires missiles that are heavy as a Panther. They haven't been seen in action yet, and no information about their deployment is known.

Models

There is no information about manufacturers or models.
