Homing missile

Homing missles are a special type of rocket, that when they are launched, "home in" on a target using heat seeking technology. Many types of gunships and transports utilize these missles as a strong form of defense against enemy snub fighters and turrets. Boba Fett's Slave I is equiped with homing missles. CIS droid starfighters are equiped with a large amount of explosive homing rockets, that can easily penetrate steel plating on Republic LAAT Gunships. Some homing missles can be launched and then controlled manually from the cockpit of a starfighter, or from a small computer panel if deployed from a portable Rocket launcher.
