De-Orbiting Kinetic Anti-emplacement Weapons or DOKAWs were durasteel rods with rudimentary guidance systems, thrusters, and an ion engine, kept in orbit over a battlefront world. When activated, the DOKAW (massing a total of just over 200 kilograms, with 100 of those the durasteel core) would be de-orbited and guided down to hit its target at 30,000 kilometers per hour, effectively creating a guided meteorite weapon.
