Can be sacrificed with 50% chance to destroy a satellite of another faction (Under Satellite Survey ‘F6’ -> ‘Orbital Attack View’)
Can be destroyed by Major Solar Storm on Alpha Prime.
Can only be launched from a base which already has an Aerospace Complex or by a faction that controls The Space Elevator.
