	The '''Manta Ray''' sub-capital missile is the largest in service. With a launcher that weighs more than a pair of ''[[Hammerhead (Aerospace Fighter class)|Hammerhead]]'' aerospace fighters and capable of firing missiles that weigh almost as much as a  ''[[Seydlitz]]'', the ''Manta Ray'' can inflict significant damage to an enemy DropShip or WarShip. The ''Manta Ray'', like all Sub-Capital Missiles, is also very dangerous to aerospace fighters because it uses very effective guidance systems and maneuvering engines to bring it to target.

−	The Manta Ray is fearsome enough when used on a [[Pocket WarShip]], but it can also be mounted on the surface of a world and used to defend against invasion.

This is in addition to any critical hit that results from damage. When used as surface to surface artillery the Manta Ray functions as a "dumb" Arrow IV missile, ignoring any [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] benefits. As the missile isn't designed for this purpose, it also imposes a +2 to hit modifier.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 343</ref> </div> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== *''[[Tactical Operations]]'' [[Category:Weapons]] [[Category:Capital Weapons]] [[Category:Sub-Capital Weapons]] [[Category:Sub-Capital Missiles]] [[Category:WarShip Weapons]] [[Category:Missile Weapons]]
