• Capabilities
  Adaptive Guidance
  While capable of direct command guidance from the launching starship, the missile is mostly a fire and forget system. With its myriad of sensor options and large processing power it is capable of adapting to the combat space, switching between various sensor feeds, cross referencing them, and combining images in order to determine the best mode to strike its target.
  Swarm Behavior
  When launched in groups of three to four or more the missile system is capable of data linking with the other active munitions to form 'swarms' of cooperative weapons. Effectively turning the group into somewhat of a wolfpack for hunting down and destroying targets, they will use cooperative tactics including limiting their active sensor emissions to one weapon.
  Active ECM
  The missile features an active jamming capacity which can be activated when the missile detects attempts at targeting it, while not as powerful as those found on ships when used in groups such as swarms of missiles it can be quite effective.

Armor and Structure

• Structure
  The Starburn is a heavy weight missile system with a layered composite cylindrical main body, this composite being composed of alternating layers of Cerrosteel and Decasteel. The inside of the weapon is framed with rings of Ensteel primarily to boost the endurance of the weapon against incoming fire and possible damage as well as maintain its shape during kinetic attacks. The vital parts of the missile such as the drive system, command electronics, and the warhead are encased in Ensteel to further increase the weapon's survivability against intercept attempts.
• Armor
  20 mm Shell of 979-M Standard Military Grade Plating
  -
  5 mm Interior Mesh of SV90 Standard Lightweight Shielding
• Active Protection
  The missile employs a vehicle grade CFA-Type for both direct active protection against all manner of attacks against the torpedo and as a passive secondary protection against exotic energy waveforms that may cause issues with the torpedo's internal workings and electronics. It has a failure point of 1,250 Tj and comes online once the missile has been launched.
  Field Refresh Rate
  Every 12 Seconds
