XL Torpedoes are behemoths designed for maximum firepower against capital ships and installations. They are usable only by capital ships and starbase defense batteries. Nothing more than a baby nuclear warhead, this guided missile wreaks havoc with the delicate electronic systems aboard a starship. Specifically designed to damage shield systems, it is able to ravage heavily shielded targets in no time. This modified version of the Mjolnir 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.
