XL Torpedoes are behemoths designed for maximum firepower against capital ships and installations. They are usable only by capital ships and starbase defense batteries. Plasma suspended in an electromagnetic field gives this torpedo the ability to deliver a flaming inferno of destruction, wreaking almost unimaginable havoc. This modified version of the Inferno Torpedo packs a considerably stronger punch, but as a result is heavier and slower. This makes it very effective against larger targets, but markedly less effective against smaller and more agile targets.
