== Description ==
 
Until the [[Federated Suns]] started researching them, the '''Cruise Missile''' had been resigned to history. Basically a large version of the unguided [[Arrow IV Artillery|Arrow IV]] missile, the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] began testing the Cruise Missile in [[3065]]. Unlike the Arrow IV missile system, there is no "guided" or "homing" cruise missile. This relative inaccuracy offsets the tremendous damage they cause.<ref name="TOp284">''Tactical Operations'', pp. 284-285, "Cruise Missile - Basic Information</ref> What cruise missiles lack in precision however, they make up for in sheer terror. Even at the tactical level the effect of massive warheads impacting without warning on the battlefield can make even the most experienced and capable units break and flee.<ref name="TOp211">''Tactical Operations'', pp. 211-212, Morale Checks - (Cruise Missiles Attack)</ref>
 
  
The '''Cruise Missile 120''' is the largest Cruise Missile system tested by the AFFS to make it into common use. With three times the range of their [[Cruise Missile 50|smallest cousin]], these warheads can influence a battle far from the launcher location. Despite this, the Cruise Missile 120 wasn't likely to be used often, as [[WarShip]]-mounted [[Capital Missile]] Launchers are both cheaper and more maneuverable.<ref name="TOp284"/>
