A projectile launcher refers to a piece of equipment used on starships that launched physical projectiles or smaller mechanisms, such as homing beacons. Slave I made use of projectile launchers that were hidden from view, and the TIE Advanced v1 also utilized them. The Fondor Haulcraft of Luthen Rael incorporated concealed double racks of 44-tube ballistic chaff launchers capable of launching explosive darts.
