Oi-Z3b Streaker Rockets

These rockets were designed in YE 31 to add functionality to the Ashigaru frame.

The Origin Z3 Streaker Rocket is an unguided, high speed weapon originally designed by Origin Armor Works for use on the OI-M1-1A Ashigaru. The rockets are stored in the frame's calves, using a rotary launcher to bring the rockets up into the tube for launch. The rockets have a diameter of 38 centimeters, and are seven eighths of a meter long. The Rockets are on a proximity fuse, and will set off their thermonuclear fusion warheads when close to a non-friendly object, Which is determined by IFF signals used by units, or designated pre-launch. Fail safes are in place to prevent early detonation; The rockets do Tier 7 or Tier 8, Light Anti-Mecha or Medium Anti-Mecha (FIXME: Staff needs to determine which) of explosive damage out to 20 meters, any further and the explosion is unable to propagate through vacuum.

The rockets are cold-launched, meaning compressed gas is used to get the missile out of the launcher before the rocket's engine activates, accelerating it to .1c.
