Missile

A missile being fired from a rocket launcher.

"Missiles. Pull up!"
"They overshot us."

―Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the Battle of Coruscant

A missile, sometimes called a rocket, was an explosive projectile that was fired from some type of missile launcher. Missiles were used in both space combat and ground warfare. Missile launchers were equipped on vehicles and starships such as the droid gunship and the Republic Attack Gunship. They were also used by droids, clone troopers, and Mandalorians.
