The Mark15 is a defensive torpedo used by Planetary Union Fleet.

Functionality

Mark15s contain four scattershot warheads, which contain thousands of metal bearings. When a Mark15 is near its target -- usually an enemy torpedo or missile swarm -- the warheads launch and detonate, forcing the target through the cloud of bearings. An impact from even one bearing usually delivers enough force to destroy the target.
