Missiles
Missiles are a ranged strike system - faster than any ship and capable of bypassing fleet defenses to strike planetary structures and ships directly.
Buildings
Missile Launcher
Produces missiles over time. Missiles are stored in a silo and consumed when a missile strike mission is launched.
Missile Defense Network
Intercepts incoming missiles before they strike. Each level adds 15% intercept chance, capped at 75% at level 5.

Missiles require no deuterium
Missile strikes are launched from any planet with a Missile Launcher. The mission travels at speed 20,000 - faster than any ship class - making it nearly impossible to outrun or intercept mid-flight with a fleet. Missiles do not carry cargo and cannot be recalled once launched.
Intercept Table
Intercept chance is calculated as level × 15%, hard-capped at 75%. Intercepted missiles are destroyed and deal no damage.
| Defense Network Level | Missiles Intercepted |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | 15% |
| Level 2 | 30% |
| Level 3 | 45% |
| Level 4 | 60% |
| Level 5 | 75% (cap) |
Damage Order
Surviving missiles (those not intercepted) apply their 2,000 damage each in the following priority order:
- 1Defense structures - Weakest defenses targeted first (ascending hull). Defenses are destroyed before ships take damage.
- 2Parked ships - After all defenses are eliminated, remaining missile damage is distributed among parked ships, again weakest first.
Missiles cannot loot resources and do not trigger a counter-attack. Buildings are not damaged by missiles.
