XL Torpedoes are behemoths designed for maximum firepower against capital ships and installations. They are usable only by capital ships and starbase defense batteries. Nocxium atoms captured in morphite matrices form this missile's devastating payload. A volley of these is able to completely obliterate most everything that floats in space, be it vehicle or structure. This modified version of the Nova 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.
