The Arakyd ST2 concussion missile was a type of concussion missile armament installed in the Millennium Falcon by Han Solo.
Description
Millennium Falcon fires two ST2 missiles into the Death Star II's main reactor.
ST2 concussion missiles were launched from ST2 concussion missile racks, each of which could carry four concussion missiles. An ST2 missile was just over one meter long and was as powerful as a standard proton torpedo.[2] They had an optimum range of 300 meters and a maximum range of 700 meters,[1] and cost 750 credits apiece.[2]
History
Using two of these missiles, Lando Calrissian breached the reactor core of the second Death Star during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, delivering the killing blow to the battle station. They were later used in 8 ABY during the Battle of Dathomir, as Han Solo attacked the Super Star Destroyer Iron Fist and fired two missiles at its command tower, killing Warlord Zsinj.
