<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The photon torpedo is a powerful, long-range weapon that has been in use aboard [[Federation starship]]s for over one hundred and fifty years. The weapon comprises an elongated elliptical body some 210 cm long and 76 x 45 cm across. The warhead consists of a maximum of 1.5 kilos of [[antimatter]] and 1.5 kilos of matter. These are divided into many thousands of small pellets suspended in a magnetic field.<br />
<br />
Included in the torpedo are target acquisition, guidance, detonation assemblies and a [[warp]] sustainer unit. If launched during warp flight, the torpedo will continue at warp until the sustainer is exhausted. Torpedo range can be extended although this causes a corresponding loss of warhead yield.<br />
<br />
The photon torpedo can be set to fly a ballistic trajectory, be steered by the launch vessel or can home in via its own guidance systems. Recent advances in [[Federation]] weapons technology have allowed the standard photon torpedo to be upgraded with sophisticated targeting systems and [[sensor]] packages, giving them the ability to detect and, if required, target weakened [[shield]] areas in the heat of battle.<br />
