| - Name: Plex Portable Missile Launcher Model: Merr-Sonn PLX2 "Plex" Portable Missile Launcher Type: Ranged weapon Mods: The effective range of the PLX2 varies depending on the mode used; the "dumb" rocket mode grants the PLX2 a range of 25-100/300/500. However, in GAM mode, the PLX2 missile has a "target" lock range of 25-500/1/2 km. If the roll to hit the target fails but is within five points of the difficulty number, the missile has achived a "target lock" on the target (only if in GAM). The missile has a "tracking" ability of 4D, moves 550 meters per move and may roll once per round to hit the target, with a maximum range of 40 kilometers. If tracking rolls miss the difficulty number by a total of 10 or more, the missile has lost its target.

If tracking rolls miss the difficulty number by a total of 10 or more, the missile has lost its target. The PLX-2, or "Plex," combination missile and rocket launcher is used against vehicles, fortifications, atmospheric craft and other projectiles. It is especially suitable as an anti-repulsorcraft weapon. The launcher is an over-the-shoulder device operated by one person. it fires "dumb" rockets in a line-of-sight attack, or can program and fire the smart Gravity-Activated Mode (GAM) guided missile designed for use with this weapon. The Plex chambers one projectile and holds a second in reserve. Guided missile tracking modes are selected with the push of a firing stud on the launcher housing. Two different modes are supported. In EPR mode, the GAM homes on intense infrared sources, such as vehicle or missile exhaust. In the Gravity-Activated Mode for which the missile is named, its onboard computer first records the target's silhouette. It pursues that image until it is close enough to lock onto the gravity-wave anomalies that are the signature of repulsorlift propulsion. The GAM missile can puruse a target for 40 kilometers before its fuel expires. ================================================================================
