Boarding Torpedoes are specialised assault craft employed by the Imperial Navy and Adeptus Astartes to breach and board hostile starships. Functioning more as crewed vessels than traditional weaponry, these compact, streamlined projectiles are launched to slam into the hulls of enemy ships. Upon impact, embedded melta charges detonate to burn through the armour plating, creating an entry point. Once the breach is made, internal hatches burst open, allowing embarked troops to launch their boarding assault from within.
Percussis undis, fremunt tormenta,
Torpedo vincla hostium rumpit.
Clamore audito, nos inruimus,
Vi praevalenti puppim occupamus.
