 The 55A17 or '​Molniya'​ is a dual weapon point defense and air defense system employed by the Colonial Pact and select client states. Designed as a modular system containerized within a 'pop up' style armored box which houses the reloading systems for the gun system'​s missiles. It can be mounted in a bolt on fashion to starships or be fitted into the hull, it can also be setup as a stand alone system for surface complexes and general orbital air defense. ​ The 55A17 or '​Molniya'​ is a dual weapon point defense and air defense system employed by the Colonial Pact and select client states.

 The Molniya employs two types of weapons, the first being a plasma cannon system and the second being a twelve shot missile launching array. Both are on independent elevation mechanisms and can be oriented separately to reduce inference from other weapon systems (such as plasma blast damaging missile systems). ​ The Molniya employs two types of weapons, the first being a plasma cannon system and the second being a twelve shot missile launching array.

     *Mounted in twelve reloadable missile tubes, there are six tubes on either side of the gun system both with independent elevation mechanisms. Each side can fire one missile (two at the same time) per four seconds due to overheating concerns, when fully expended the turret most rotate to a specific position and orient the launchers upwards to reload the missile tubes. This reload cycle typically takes ten seconds. ​     *Mounted in twelve reloadable missile tubes, there are six tubes on either side of the gun system both with independent elevation mechanisms.
