- If the GWS ever wanted to compete in the grand scheme and game of warfare that was the Galaxy, they would need more weapons. Before they could even get started, however, the company that profited from the riches of war needed to invest into more ammunition types and forms. Specifically, the GWS needed missiles to destroy tanks and vehicles that their buyers would need to be destroyed. Thus was the creation of the Achilles.
- The Achilles Missile is a very portable piece of ammunition. With the relatively 'small' size and a low weight value for the missile, the Achilles is easily transportable and usable by the simplest and weakest of infantry personnel. The FAWAS-140 can work with any number of missile launchers and missile pods, allowing easy configuration and widespread usage of the anti-armor missile to all forms of military organizations across the Galaxy.
- FAWAS-140 makes use of a more compact, "Shaped Charge," detonation and explosive. The compact and narrower end of the warhead allows the Achilles to focus the explosive power of its detonite charge into a concentrated area, allowing the explosives to shred and render armor easily. Once the explosive charge is detonated, a bar of metal inside of the missile becomes superheated into a high-velocity superjet of melted metal. This melted superjet of metal propels itself forwards through the explosive power of the detonation, from their the kinetic energy is what does the rest of the work to cut through heavy armor plating with relative ease in most cases.
