Eos (torpedo)

The following information has not been confirmed by Volition and is therefore not canon for the FreeSpace universe.

Description

Age of Aquarius Tech Room Description

The Eos torpedo is a nuclear weapon carried in large numbers by Raynor-class destroyers. One of a number of munitions that can be launched from the Raynor's multiple missile batteries, the Eos is a long-range weapon with about half the yield of bomber-delivered Cyclops warheads. Though its role in the Raynor's arsenal is supplementary to that of beams, it has a powered flight range of nearly 6000 meters and it can engage enemies at any angle. Torpedoes are expected to play an even greater role in GTVA tactical doctrine in years to come.
