Lorath Missiles and Torpedoes

The following is a description and list of Lorath self-propelled munitions. This category of munitions includes torpedoes, missiles, and other such self-propelled ordinance.

The following munitions can be divided into several size categories; (Mi)ni, (S)mall, (M)edium, (L)arge, (XL)arge, (C)ruise, (I)ntersterllar.

A long-time part of the Lorath arsenal, the seemingly outdated nuclear munitions have gained a new life. Once considered outdated due to the damage these weapons caused to the home terrain of the Lorath, these weapons are now being fielded once more due to the prospect of seizing enemy-held territories, where radiation fall-out is a non-issue.
