Missile/Legends

Missile was a catch-all term for a type of projectile weapon. Many types of missiles were fired from starships, including capital ships and starfighters. Other types of missiles were utilized by ground vehicles, while still more could also be fired by a single soldier, from a hand-held or shoulder-fired missile tube. Certain types of probe droids used a similar casing to that of a missile, in order to travel around the galaxy.

Basic structure and description
The typical missile was a ranged weapon that carried its own propellant fuel, enabling it to reach a target independent of the power source from which it was launched. Basic missiles dated from the earliest years of recorded warfare, developed from basic rockets. Most weapons of this type contained a guidance system, which allowed them to be locked onto a specific target, which the missile would then attempt to home in on. Size ranged from small "chip" missiles that could be fired from a man-portable device and were typically used against ground vehicles, to capital ship-grade warheads that could devastate enemy war vessels or planetary surfaces.

Terrorist Group(s)/Attack(s)
In 27 BBY, a terrorist group tried to use a homemade missile to assasinate Passel Argente on Bartokk. However, their plan was thwarted by Jorus C'baoth, who used the Force to stop the missile reaching it's target.

Clone Wars
They were used during the Clone Wars, notably during the Battle of Muunilinst. Anakin Skywalker had the Clone pilots under his command fire their missiles into empty space and he lured a number of Separatist ships that were persuing him into the path of them.

Mission to Adumar
An illegal company, Dammant Killers, was producing missiles missiles from a factory on Adumar. In 40 ABY, Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker went on a mission to uncover the factory.

Carbonite Missiles
Carbonite missiles were used by the Zann Consortium sometimes. They were used to slow people or units down. The M.A.L. could switch to Carbonite Missiles and regular explosive missiles in a matter of time. The M.A.L. is made by Merr-Sonn Munitions.

Concussion missile
The Concussion missile was a short-range anti-vehicle missile produced by many manufacturers.

Intruder missile
Intruder missiles were designed by Slayn & Korpil for the Rebel Alliance. The missile was designed to overload the shield generators on large ships, causing them to explode and damage the rest of the ship.

Discord Missile
Discord Missiles delivered Buzz droidss to their targets during the Clone Wars.

Rockets
A rocket was very similar to a missile, being a similar shape and generally used for the same purpose. During Jaden Korr's campaign against the Disciples of Ragnos he often used rocket launchers, very similar to missile launchers, to launch rockets.
