Seeker (missile)

Seekers were missiles employed by the First Order in defensive emplacements.

During atmospheric dogfights, there was a concern over collateral damage.

In 34 ABY, General Armitage Hux ordered that seekers be employed at Starkiller Base during the Resistance's Assault on Starkiller Base, where they destroyed at least one T-70 X-wing fighter.

During the battle, Ello Asty saved Blue Nine by redirecting a pair of seekers.
