The MG9 proton torpedo launcher, also known as MG9 emission-type proton torpedo launcher, was a proton torpedo launcher produced by Krupx. A/SF-01 B-wing starfighters were equipped with a pair of MG9 emission-type proton torpedo launchers.[1]
The detonation of an MG9 torpedo within an atmosphere created a shockwave powerful enough to knock multiple starfighters out of the sky, making it dangerous to use when friendlies might be in the area.[2] The flash generated an exploding MG9 torpedo could also potentially blind a person within one kilometer of the explosion.[3]
