Description

Rocket Launchers are cheap, unguided, one-shot missile launchers. Developed by the Marian Hegemony, they often replace more sophisticated equipment that the Periphery nation cannot afford or is unable to repair. Since their introduction, Rocket Launchers have proliferated across the Periphery.

The Rocket Launcher 20 fires twenty unguided rockets.


Models

Brand Planet Company

There are no known models of the Rocket Launcher 20.

Variants

Early Terran Alliance and later technology deprived Pentagon Powers produced a differient versions of the Rocket Launcher 20 with cruder technology base.

  • RL-PP Version of the RL-20: Only differience from Standard Launcher is that the weapon suffers from a -1 on the Cluster/Missile Table with minimum of result of 2.[1]
  • P-RL Version of the RL-20: Same rules apply to the Primitive Rocket Launcher 15 developed by the Terran Alliance. This weapon was employed by warring Terra Alliance political powers attempt seize power of crumbled central government.[2]
