The Mega Proton Missile is actually composed of three normal Proton Missiles.

Proton Missiles are explosive weapons used in space combat. They are used by most military spaceships, from small defence ships to Uber Turrets. They are guided weapons with a long range, but will detonate harmlessly if they travel too far without hitting their target. Proton Missiles can be launched to attack all vehicles and turrets, although they are only usually used against enemy spacecraft.

Based on the orbiting electrons in the Proton Missile's icon, it seems that Proton Missiles are nuclear or thermonuclear weapons.

Notes[]

The name "Proton Missile" is most likely a reference to proton torpedoes from Star Wars. They also have a similar glow effect to photon torpedoes in Star Trek.
