M-s3 concussion missile launcher

The M-s3 concussion missile launcher, also known as the M-s3 concussion missile and warhead launcher, was a model of concussion missile launcher manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems. The TIE/sa tactical bomber manufactured by Sienar for the Galactic Empire was equipped with two forward-mounted M-s3s, with the bomber's missile port located at the base of the vehicle's central body beneath its sensor array and between the cockpit pod and ordnance pod.

Each bomber was capable of carrying sixteen concussion missiles, with the option to replace the M-s3s with T-s5 proton torpedo launchers depending on the mission profile for the craft. When engaging other craft, TIE/sas were most effective when using missile volleys to make up for their lack of maneuverability, blasting apart foes before they could close in.
