XL Torpedoes are behemoths designed for maximum firepower against capital ships and installations. They are usable only by capital ships and starbase defense batteries. Fitted with a graviton pulse generator, this weapon causes massive damage as it overwhelms ships' internal structures, tearing bulkheads and armor plating apart with frightening ease. This modified version of the Scourge 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.
