MX-10
The Merr-Sonn MX-10 was an anti-vehicle missile launcher emplacement developed by Merr-Sonn Munitions during the Galactic Civil War.
Description
The MX-10 consisted of a rack of ten medium missiles, sufficient for taking out armored repulsorcraft and AT-STs, which could be concealed by use of a collapsible panel. Measuring 40 centimeters wide, the panel prevented visual identification of the emplacement. Also, the emplacement did not draw power when placed in stand-by mode prevented scanners from picking it up. When necessary, a simple pull of a cord could cause the collapsible panel to be dropped.[1]
Like other Mer-Sonn products the MX-10 used missiles based on their popular PLX series. For just 500 credits each the launcher could fire simple "dumb" missiles with no guidance system or so-called "smart" GAM missiles at twice the cost. At a price of 2,000 credits each it could also fire "savant" missiles.[1]
History
The Alliance base Dalgeer's Rim used a concealed MX-10 as part of its defensive setup. The launcher was protected by a pair of shield doors and was recessed into the rim of a volcano caldera.[1]
