Homebrew Reference Book: Clone Wars Saga Edition Fan Sourcebook - Equipment
This over-the-shoulder portable missile launcher was used by Republic forces during the Clone Wars. The launcher was specifically designed to home-in on repulsorlift signatures using its Gravity-Activated Mode (GAM).
If the weapon is aimed at a repulsorlift vehicle prior to firing, the rocket will acquire a target-lock and track its target independently. If the first attack misses, on the following round the rocket makes a second attack using the same attack bonus, but with a -5 penalty (you do not need to spend an Action to make this attack). If the rocket misses a second time, it will make a third attempt the following round, but with a -10 penalty. If the third attack misses, the rocket detonates harmlessly.
The PLX-1 Missile/Rocket Launcher can also fire in the traditional “Dumb-Fire” mode. PLX-1 Missiles have a 2-Square Burst radius. Switching between Gravity-Activated Mode and Dumb-Fire mode takes one Swift Action to perform.
When you make an area attack with a launcher, make a single attack roll and compare the result to the Reflex Defense of every target in the missile’s 2-Square Burst radius. Targets hit by the blast take full damage, while missed targets take half damage. A target with the Evasion Talent takes half damage on a hit, and no damage on a miss.
The PLX-1 Missile/Rocket Launcher uses a special missile that must be reloaded using a Full-Round Action after each shot is fired. The missiles cost 100 credits each and weigh 1 kg.
