The MG7-A proton torpedo was a type of proton torpedo produced by the weapons manufacturing company Krupx. A miniaturized version of the torpedo was used by the Resistance during their conflict with the First Order, with each of their T-70 X-wing starfighters able to carry eight torpedoes at a time.[1] During the Battle of Starkiller Base, the Resistance used many MG7-A torpedoes to bomb Starkiller Base's thermal oscillator in the hope of crippling the superweapon.[2]
Characteristics
The proton torpedo consisted of a proton warhead and guidance gyro inside an armor penetrating housing. This was attached to the front of an armor power shell.[3]
