Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Rebellion Era Campaign Guide
Designed for use with Zero-Gravity Stormtrooper Armor, Miniature Proton Torpedoes can rip through Starship hulls. The launcher mounts into the Zero-Gravity Stormtrooper Armor's left gauntlet, but enterprising Rebel engineers have adapted the Weapon as a shoulder-mounted launcher.
After launching a Miniature Proton Torpedo, the wielder must spend a Standard Action to reset the launcher, which holds 4 torpedoes.
When you make an Area Attack with a Miniature Proton Torpedo Launcher, you make a single attack roll and compare the result to the Reflex Defense of every target in the Weapon's 2-Square Burst radius. Creatures you hit take full damage, and creatures you miss take half damage. A target with the Evasion Talent takes half damage from a successful attack, and no damage if the attack misses.
Alternatively, the Weapon can be fired at a single target, acting as a focused weapon designed to take out Starfighters and Ground Vehicles. As a Swift Action, you can set the Miniature Proton Torpedo Launcher to single-target mode. In this mode, the weapon no longer functions as an Area Attack Weapon, deals 6d10x2 damage, and applies a -10 penalty on attack rolls against targets smaller than Huge size.
Replacement Miniature Proton Torpedoes weigh 5 kg and cost 200 credits each.
