A photon missile was a type of projectile weapon used by the naval forces of Dorande[1] around 15 BBY.[2]
The a secret Dorande naval invasion force once fired a salvo of photon missiles at Kirk Windjammer's anti-grav loader, destroying it, although Windjammer used his craft's anti-gravity unit to deflect one. Windjammer barely escaped with his astromech droid R2-D2.[1]
