Mag-pulse warhead

Mag-pulse warheads, also known as mag-pulse torpedos, or simply as mag-pulses, were a form of specialized warhead which were particularly used as armament on TIE/sf space superiority fighters, in one turret-mounted Kuat Drive Yards missile launcher that also fitted Arakyd ST7 concussion missiles, and on TIE/vn space superiority fighters, in two wing-mounted launchers that also included proton torpedoes next to the ST7s. T-70 X-wing starfighters could have their proton torpedoes replaced with mag-pulse warheads, too, thanks to the modularity of their secondary armament.
