Description

Blue Planet Tech Room Description

Standard-issue, wide deployment, high rate-of-fire SES-O dumbfire missile with nuclear-yield explosive charge. Lethal against unshielded targets, but inflicts only reduced damage against shields. The Federation has an ample supply of Hellfires, and thus production of these missiles has been stopped in favor of Paveways and more advanced seeking missiles. First Fleet pilots swear by the Hellfire as a 'third gun', and some space superiority pilots arm their fighters' secondary banks with nothing but Hellfire packs.

Used in the exact same way as the Tempest. It quickly rips apart the shields and armor of even the heaviest bombers, such as Boanerges.
