Cruisemissiles, also called Cruisemissile assault craft, represented a type of Imperial starfighter deployed throughout the period of the Galactic Civil War.
This Cruisemissile assault craft was outfitted with a pair of laser cannons and a pair of proton torpedo launchers, all connected to its twin thruster engines. For increased agility, this starfighter possessed wings that deployed when entering combat. The craft was built without protective shields or armor plating.
The Cruisemissile was often at the forefront of the Imperial Navy, being launched from Imperial-class Star Destroyers to strike at Rebel installations. These diminutive vessels were operated by Cruisemissile troopers, who were selected from the best pilots of TIE/LN starfighters.
