- Primary Source: MIRV
- Manufacturer: Ringovinda Systems
- Affiliation: Open-Market
- Model: Rosalina surface-to-orbit missile
- Modularity: Yes: can change the payload between one large charge or several smaller charges (in which case it's called a MIRV)
- Production: Mass-produced
- Material: Durasteel
- Classification: Surface-to-orbit missile
- Size: Extremely large (12m)
- Weight: Extremely heavy (6.5 tons)
- Explosive Type: Baradium Charges (single charge) Proton rockets or concussion missiles (MIRV configuration)
- Delivery Method: Self-propelled
- Effective Range: Battlefield (standard long-range turbolaser range)
- Area Of Effect: Very large (blast radius: 500m in single-charge configuration)
- Stopping Power: Very high
- Explosive
- Can be outfitted with a variety of payloads
- Delayed homing
- In MIRV configuration, can be outfitted with seven proton rockets or with fifteen concussion missiles
- Detonates with a big explosion capable of causing damage to a wide area
- Can be outfitted in either single charge or MIRV configuration
- Long range (enough for ground-based emplacements to fire at targets in orbit)
- Damage applies indiscriminately to all personnel and objects surrounding the missile, this includes allies who might be caught in the blast radius (regardless of whether it's a single charge or the submunitions in a MIRV configuration).
- Very large missile
- Long time to switch configurations
The Rosalina was the brainchild of, and named after, a SJ officer, Rosalina Pammant, whose sister, Daisy, was instrumental in procuring proton rockets to the defunct Commonwealth. She envisioned a missile that can be fired at landing craft or other large starships in orbit from ground emplacements and that can be outfitted with a wide variety of payloads. Considering the SJ military needs, it includes, but not limited to, MIRVs, in which case the Rosalina serves as a bus for either seven proton rockets or fifteen concussion missiles.
It was also found to have sufficient range to be fired at targets at long-range turbolaser range before going "dead-stick" (at which point it becomes unguided). It is also equipped with delayed homing, as was previously used on smaller ordnance, so that it doesn't start tracking an enemy until several seconds have elapsed. However, the fuel costs of firing at long-range turbolaser range are reflected on the size of the missile: it is extremely large, so large that it cannot fit a conventional assault concussion missile launcher, and is extremely heavy also. Finally, it can take a significant time to switch configurations from single charge to MIRV and vice-versa.
Note: If used in fleeting, the Rosalina is worth 3 assault concussion missiles
