Thermite micro-missile

Thermite micro-missiles were a type of missile made with thermite. The swoop racer Kuru fired six of the micro-missiles from his vehicle at his opponent Han Solo during a race on the planet Rion shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Solo was saved from the missiles by his companion Luke Skywalker, who piloted another swoop into the missile's path.
