The S-1000U 'Naja' is a long range dual role space or atmospheric missile designed for all service branches of the Colonial Pact's military and for civil security use. It is a two stage weapon with a variety of guidance modes, however its principle configuration is semi-active to mid course before activating the missile's own radar for terminal homing. The two primary warhead configurations are kinetic with a blast fragmentation option and a high yield fusion tipped version. As of [[calendar:ye_39|NCC00999 CEC]] all three are presently in production and use within the borders of the [[faction:valmet_colonial_pact:faction_page]].  
==== Appearance ====
A fairly standard missile body with the noticeable second stage forward of the second set of aerodynamic fins, it features three sets of maneuvering fins each acting as the base for the missile's vacuum maneuvering fusion puffer duct system. At the forward end is the guidance systems, the warhead itself, and a final high output terminal solid fusion booster. At the rear is the 'plug' which burns out as the primary drive for the first stage initiates at launch.

===== Weapon Statistics and Mission Systems =====

==== Structure and Defenses ====
The Naja missile system employs a cylindrical body mostly composed of a [[materials:valadyne]] hull reinforced with a framework and rings of [[materials:decasteel]] which serves as both a means of reinforcement and a source of fragmentation. Additionally the outer surface of the missile is coated in a thin layer of [[materials:cerrosteel]] to both reduce thermal stresses on the interior components and reduce the effectiveness of attempts to intercept the missile with energy or kinetic based weapons. 

The Naja's 'active' defense is served in the form of a specifically design specific form of the standard [[faction:valmet_colonial_pact:common_pact_systems:colonial_pact_combined_field_array|combined barrier field system]]. There are two present on the missile, one in the forward second stage and one in the rear first stage. Both project a plasma barrier field and both project a gravimetric field. 

==== Power System and Propulsion ====
Both stages of the Naja employ a [[faction:valmet_colonial_pact:common_pact_systems:colonial_pact_lissftm|metallic hydrogen fusion solid fuel motor]], a completely inert system until the proper ignition sequence is carried out at launch. A long lived [[faction:valmet_colonial_pact:common_pact_systems:pact_common_fission_thermal_battery|radio-thermal powersource]] paired with [[faction:valmet_colonial_pact:common_pact_systems:pact_common_energy_capacitor|high density capacitors]] serve as on board pre-launch power sources allowing the missile to transmit status and integrity data as well as maintaining a basic operational status. These two power systems typically store just enough energy to ignite the missile's fusion motor in the event the missile is canisterized in a standalone situation, however typically ignition power is provided via an umbilical linked to the launching craft or platform. 

//Weapon Stages//\\
Being a two stage missile system, the first stage of the Naja will burn for roughly 15 light minutes before seperation. This range can be increased by shutting down the drive system after an initial velocity boost but the missile will be unable to alter its course on the way to the target in orbital combat situations. Once expended the missile will separate into a shorter lived second stage who's lower mass and cross section act as the final terminal guidance platform, either for a skin skin kinetic kill or to position a fragmentation or thermonuclear warhead at optimum burst parameters from the target. 
==== Guidance and Control Hardware ====
The Naja employs two [[faction:valmet_colonial_pact:common_pact_systems:pact_lhccs_computer|90B2-972-MV Computer Guidance Control Units]] in a dual operations configuration, meaning both processors continue to run over the same data cross checking one another for possible errors or attempts at ECM. This is primarily used to defeat various methods of confusing or jamming the missile's sensor systems by allowing the weapon to adapt to changing battlefield conditions and alter its guidance mode appropriately to the threat. Both of these processors and their related systems are housed in the second stage in an enclosed, shielded, and armored container. In the event of battle damage only one processor is needed to operate the missile although it will be at a reduced capability. Communications either with the launching system or with the Pact's standardized battlefield network is provided by two systems, these being a [[faction:valmet_colonial_pact:common_pact_systems:pact_common_laser_communications|DCLCS type]] and a [[faction:valmet_colonial_pact:common_pact_systems:pact_common_radio_communications|DCRCS type]] system.

//Swarming Behavior//\\
Due to the standardization of shared battlefield networks Pact missile systems are capable of communicating and cooperating with one another, allowing for various operational sets including 'swarm' behavior. This being any weapon systems targeted on a specific threat will operate as one unit, sharing data, and coordinating to maximize the chance of a kill on the target. This includes all but one missile shutting down its active sensors, this one actively emitting weapon sharing the resulting data with the rest. 

=== Guidance Modes ===
Listed here are the standard guidance modes the Asper missile can employ or be switched to by its launching craft or controlling entity, other options including hybrid modes can also be employed via reprogramming the missile before launch. 
  *Passive Seeker, Radar Homing
  *Fire and Forget Active Launch
  *Passive Seeker Launch, Midpoint Active Seeker
  *Home on Jam/ECM Source
  *Combined Optical Tracking Passive Seeker EM Homing
==== Sensor Systems ====
The Naja missile utilizes three primary sensor systems with one dual purpose and the other two being passive arrays, as a result the missile can engage targets utilizing them in a variety of active and passive modes allowing flexible engagement options for the launching craft.

===== Missile Variants =====
The following are the production variants of the Naja long range missile system and their various warhead configurations. 
==== S-1000U - BM-1 Variant ====
The primary production variant of the Naja missile, the BM-1 variant serves as a general purpose munition employing kinetic energy as its primary kill mechanism either via a skin skin kill or two fragmentation options.

==== S-1000U - BM-2 Variant ====
A dual purpose warhead either for use against swarms of munitions or strikecraft or as a lightweight anti-ship missile, the BM-2 employs a moderate yield solid fuel thermonuclear warhead. It can either be fused for a near burst or for a impact detonation, the latter often being employed when the missile is being used against starships.
