SAM

A SAM (Super Accurate Missile) was designed and produced by the Royal Air Force R&D sector as a way to counter incoming nuclear missiles and disable them in the air.

Design and Production
The SAM was designed by the Royal Air Force R&D sector on November 11th 2078. About 2000 were made and about 1700 were used.

Dawn War
The SAM missiles were used to deactivate an incoming missile, and if that wasn't possible for whatever reason, it would cause a premature explosion resulting in less radioactive fallout. About 20 Nuclear Missiles were disabled however 80 were prematurely detonated.

Post War
Pete uses 2 SAM missiles found in an underground bunker in Ealing. He uses them to retrieve Embryo Orbs from Low-Earth Orbit which can in turn allow for quick recoveries from major injuries. The explosions caused to get the Embryo Orbs down however caused Susan to be very paranoid as she believed he was trying to bomb the Elizabeth ship but he'd missed, she also believed the Victoria ship had been bombed despite it's destruction 3 years earlier. The second explosion causes Susan to take her daughter Kaytlin and escape the Elizabeth ship using an escape pod.

Post Recovery Period
From 2488, humans had declared full recovery from the Dawn War, while many areas were still considered to dangerous to go to and some still are in Heiwa and H.E.I.W.A 2.0. After this, the original SAM has been developed to deactivate parts of an enemy's ship such as their oxygen generator. Killing everyone on board while leaving the bodies in tact.
