General Details
Name: Arrow IV System (Prototype)
Type (Category): Weapon (Area-Effect)
Reference: Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras (p. 64)
Description:
Tube artillery, airborne bombers and orbital strikes were the primary fire support options available to the Star League forces throughout much of the Reunification War, though oftentimes that support was either too inaccurate or too late in coming to satisfy the needs of the frontline combat forces. Turning to a page in history, the SLDF directed the development of a missile artillery weapon that could provide extremely accurate localized fire support missions, utilizing either a battlefield designator (the TAG) or conventional artillery targeting methods. Though the final production models did not debut until after the end of the Reunification War, those prototype systems that did see combat action were well received by their users—on both sides.
Game Rules:
The prototype Arrow IV Artillery Missile launcher uses the standard rules for Indirect Artillery and Direct-Fire Artillery, as well as Counter-Battery Fire, but can also employ specialized homing rounds that work in conjunction with friendly Target Acquisition Gear (TAG) systems.
