−	First developed by the [[Federated Commonwealth]] in the mid-3050s for the [[Solaris]] arenas, the '''Thunderbolt''' launcher is an offshoot of standard [[LRM]] technology. Instead of firing a group of fifteen missiles, the Thunderbolt 15 launcher fires a single missile that inflicts as much damage as a [[Gauss rifle]]. This increased damage is made up for by the slightly reduced range and increases to the weapon's heat and weight. The Thunderbolt missile was also more vulnerable to [[anti-missile system]]s.	+	First developed by the [[Federated Commonwealth]] in the mid-3050s for the [[Solaris]] arenas, the '''Thunderbolt''' launcher is an offshoot of standard [[LRM]] technology.
