Asgarnieu

The Sitka Anti-Ship Missile was designed to destroy ships as large as Nimitz-Class aircraft carriers with as little as 4 direct hits. It is one of the few indiginous AShM's in the Asgarnian arsenal.

Warhead

The Sitka carries the 450-pound W-210 HE warhead. It produces a massive cone of directionalized air and heat upon impact that can penetrate up to 15 feet of alloyed armor. It utilizes a specially designed and classified form and composition that creates the massive air cone.

The W-210 HE warhead can be switched out with the W-860 Nuclear Warhed or the W-277 Proton Warhead. Obviously, they are much more powerful than the W-210.

Evasion

The missile is designed to evade current Phalanx and Goalkeeper missile defense systems by skimming the water. Clearly, that is not going to completely protect the missile, so missile emits a signal that displays 10 large alternate targets. 8 out of 10 missiles are guaranteed to hit the target.

Propulsion

The Sitka uses the RF-X Engine. Combined with thrust vectoring, this missile is highly mobile. It is able to weave and avoid waves due to this innovation.
