Developed to offer greater flexibility to iNarc-equipped units, the simple and devious Nemesis Pod is a variant of the standard [[Homing Pod]] that features equipment to broadcast a wide-band homing signal specially tuned to override and draw both friendly and enemy Narc equipped [[SRM]]s and [[LRM]] missiles, as well as enemy [[Semi-Guided LRM]]s and even [[Arrow IV Artillery| Arrow IV homing missiles]], to strike the target to which its attached. Like all its iNarc brothers, the pod can be brushed off by a determined target.<ref name="FM:CoSp151+">''Field Manual: ComStar'', pp. 151-152, "Nemesis Pod"</ref>

If Narc-capable, semi-guided or Arrow IV homing missiles are fired within LOS of unit with an active Nemesis pod, re-roll to target the nemesis affected enemy with an extra +1 to hit added. If successful, the missiles are diverted, unsuccessful, they go on to the original intended target. Arrow IV homing missiles lured by a Nemesis pod however get a simple 50/50 chance decided by a 1D6 to determine if they attack the nemesis affected target.<ref name="FM:CoSp151+"/>
