OHI Standard Missiles

OHI standard missiles are, as their name would imply, fairly standard missiles. They were developed in YE 41 by both OHI and the Exodus Fleet for use on the new Super Spartan Upgrade Package and later the VF-41 Sparrowhawk. The standard missiles are not as maneuverable as their smaller cousins, but have a longer range and better payload.

Their payload is a dual purpose warhead that can either fire a liquid metal charge forwards like a lance to pierce armor, or spread the metal outwards in a wide and deadly web of metal strands, which cuts and tears fighters and power armor travelling at combat speeds.

In YE 44, the OHI Missile Update Program led to the Z1-2A version of the missile, with increased effective range and a simpler compressed plasma variant for when wide-area coverage is not required. Manufacturing advances made available from moving to Yamatai had also made the missile more affordable in general.

Z1-2B Standard Plasma Missile
