In YE 31, the Star Army fielded its first Heitan cruisers and fightercraft secured more proemminent spacy roles. Initially, the MSAP micro-missile was borrowed from power armor, but was found an inpotent weapon even as submunition for starfighters. A larger guided projectile, meant for missile bays but still compatible with the offensive augmentation pods of power armor, was created as the primary small ordonance for KFY fightercraft to use.
The Multi-purpose Shield and Armor piercing mini-missile boasts significantly greater range and can be counter on to reliably take out enemy power armor, probes, and small gun turrets. They are serviceable against light mecha, shuttlepods and small fightercraft. Larger than the micro-missile, 4 of these guided projectiles can fit in a power armor's offensive augmentation pod; usually many more in missile bays.
