Killstick

Killstick
Killstick: A self-guided, self-propelled missile system designed to penetrate the armour of pirate junks and PPB Navy vessels with ease. Effectively a killstick is a flying cannon, a missile within a missile, with the incredibly manoeuvrable outer missile able to pursue even quite agile craft, firing a powerful breaching charge on impact and then firing an inner missile through the breach point which will detonate inside the vessel.

Largely ineffective against small fighters or high-agility craft, they are devastating against pirate junks and larger vessels, with almost no armour being adequate to defend against an on-target hit from a killstick.
