General Information
The missile defence module is a defence system that provides the base with a missile silo for launching rockets at an incoming retaliator (an alien Battleship).
Each salvo of missiles provided by the missile defence module does not do much damage, but it is the cheapest defence module that can be produced and can be built rapidly. It also has the lowest defence module upkeep cost.
During a Base Defence mission, missile warheads can cause secondary Explosions.
This base facility appears in UFO: Enemy Unknown. For the Terror from the Deep equivalent, refer to the Torpedo Defences.
