# Missile - Crimson Wasp C-52
The Crimson Wasp C-52 belongs to a class of missiles designed for defensive use on commercial spacecraft. Measuring a mere 1.5 meters in length, the Crimson Wasp carries a shaped charge warhead.
Space-going freighters, ferries and passenger liners generally carry a number of these missiles in tube launchers as a deterrent to pirate attacks. Despite the relatively low energy yield ( *in comparison to military grade weapons* ) these missiles, when correctly targeted, can distract, damage or otherwise harass attacking vessels. An example of such a defensive installation is the missile battery found on the underside of the Tottenberg Box Hauler.
Missiles of this type are found in the **Stardrifter** universe. Learn more and download the **Stardrifter** series of novels for free at: [https://davidcollinsrivera.com/]
