-Model: Arakyd ST2 Concussion Missile
-By: L.J. Boswell
aka Flynn 'Fly' Taggart
-Finished: April 22, 1999
-Created in AutoCAD 14, mainly created with 3D solids, and exported
as 3DS, no textures were used for this model (because AutoCAD is not
always nice about including them in the export)
-Note: There is a blum/tail extending from the exhaust nozzle, this
was just something I was playing with and decided to include (remove
it if you like)

This object was modeled from:SW-  The Essential Guide to Weapons and
Technology
"Arakyd ST2 Concussion Missile


	Concussion missiles are self-contained projectile weapons armed
with explosive warheads.  While designed for bombing attacks in an
atmosphere- where the concussion blast can cause tremendous
devastation- concussion missiles are also effective for outer space
combat.
	The concussion missile's armored tube carries the warhead, a
guidance computer, and a propellant system.  Exterior shield
projectors warp the missile in an energy shroud, giving it the
appearance of an elongated laser cannon.  Concussion missiles share
many of the advantages of proton torpedoes but also have the same
primary disadvantage: they are short-range weapons with an optimum
range of three hundred meters and a maximum range of seven hundred
meters.  The missiles' homing sensors are outstandingly effective
against stationary and slow-moving targets, making them ideal for
planetary bombing runs and attacks on capital ships.  In atmospheres,
the concussion warhead's explosion generates sonic booms and ground
tremors at close range, leveling walls, destroying equipment, and
inflicting heavy casualties.
	The powerful ST2 concussion missile system is a favorite of
independent ship owners, since it can be purchased for about 1,500
credits, compared to over 2,000 credits need to purchase a proton
torpedo launcher.  Concussion missiles are easier to maintain that
proton torpedo launchers, although they end up being fairly expensive
in the long run, since each missile costs 750 credits."
