The Mark 44 Hatchet Ship-to-Ship Warhead is an unguided, prolifically manufactured missile in use by a wide range of navies and military forces, among them the New Republic Navy and the Caspian Navy. It lacks an advanced guidance package, simply relying upon the deploying warship to feed it a vector upon which to travel upon, or to aim its launcher with the use of a targeting computer or LIDAR imager. It trades off this computational accuracy for a low-cost, simplicity of use, and a significant destructive yield. The Hatchet's chief rival in the missile market is the Mark 22 Saint SSW, but ironically the two missiles are often used side-by-side, sometimes in the same brace.

abstract	The Mark 44 Hatchet Ship-to-Ship Warhead is an unguided, prolifically manufactured missile in use by a wide range of navies and military forces, among them the New Republic Navy and the Caspian Navy. It lacks an advanced guidance package, simply relying upon the deploying warship to feed it a vector upon which to travel upon, or to aim its launcher with the use of a targeting computer or LIDAR imager. It trades off this computational accuracy for a low-cost, simplicity of use, and a significant destructive yield. The Hatchet's chief rival in the missile market is the Mark 22 Saint SSW, but ironically the two missiles are often used side-by-side, sometimes in the same brace. Hatchets are best employed in a brace of three to eight, often at close range. Caspian warships, with their HOWL/VOWL systems, use them to great aplomb when going broadside-to-broadside with opposing starships since their launch systems can reload so rapidly. While not intended for atmospheric or planetary purposes, Caspia has trained its Marines and Provincial forces in the employment of these in ground-side battle ever since they were used in an improvised manner to great success at the Siege of Trinumvira. Union soldiers managed to obtain dozens of them from warehouses within the grounds of Trinumvira Base before the outer yards were denied to them and expended them primarily to counter Imperial AT-ATs and hovertanks that often wouldn't fall to concentrated laser-blast fire.
