[edit] Overview

The Wraith is a Terran heavy munition. Being both obscenely potent and a swarm weapon it is devastatingly effective against capital ships, if a little slow.

[edit] Encyclopedia Entry

Wraith is a multiple-warhead heat-seeking missile armed with a proximity fuse. It is used by USC medium and larger ships against capital ships.

[edit] Commentary

The Wraith contains 8 warheads doing 125k damage each. It takes only a few to destroy even the most heavily shielded capital ships, and although the swarm will take a while to reach its target and individual warheads are easy to shoot down, the sheer number will win the day in a nuclear inferno, especially considering their cargo requirement of only 1.

The biggest difficulty in using Wraiths is the abysmal turning circle; great care must be exercised in picking a launch vector in order to land the Wraiths on target.

While called a missile, the Wraith is classed as a Torpedo.
