BIG Z1776
Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
A six-meter-long missile with four wings reaching out to a meter-and-a-half in width. Half the missile's length is its warhead, the front fourth is the missile seeker, sensors, and the field disruptor. The last fourth is the weapon's powerful coaxium-fueled thruster. The missile is a long-range strike weapon, capable of being launched from orbit and striking a target on a planet or being lobbed at a target warship or space station from outside the normal reach of a combat air patrol. Usually, when CRAF bombers fire them they are fired in coordinated volleys so that as many missiles hit their targets all at once to avoid sequential point-defense targeting by their target(s). When used in conjunction with fighters escorting the bombers, warships to exploit severe damage they may have been done. However, it takes a lot of missiles to do any real damage to the hull of larger warships, although said capital ships mustn't underestimate their accuracy, as exposed locations such as sensors, bridges, hangar bays, and weapons emplacements can fall prey to a "Savage V".

- Coaxium-fueled thruster for rapid acceleration and very high speed resulting in a high degree long-range accuracy.
- Powerful proton warhead can punch through most frigates' and many light cruisers' armor and cripple exposed secondary systems or destroy hardened military ground targets with relative ease.
- Selective seeking modes (visual signature-seeking, thermal-seeking, magnetic influence, laser-guided, and beam-riding-guidance), capability provides a multitude of options in case an opponent tries to jam its seeker and allows it to be an effective long-range SEAD munition. It can also be programmed to hit a fixed position or manually guided in.
- Shield penetrating field disruptor for shield penetration.
- Thermobaric secondary explosion effect can do a great deal of damage to biological targets or heat-sensitive equipment.
- Fast terminal velocity, makes it difficult to intercept.
- Impacts with a great deal of force to punch through a target's outer defensive armor or shields.
- Accurate with flexible and adaptive seeking modes.
- Universal mounting system means any CRAF craft big enough for it can carry it.
- Possesses a field disruptor for penetrating shields.
- Rather expensive due to the coaxium and baradium used in its components.
- Has to be fueled with its coaxium fuel before being loaded onto a bomber or fighter which takes time, it is dangerous if kept fueled all the time.
- Large and heavy, can be cumbersome for a fighter to carry.
- Proton warhead is prone to catastrophic detonation if struck.
- The weapon is not going to be able to destroy or heavily damage well-armored capital ships unless used in large numbers.
