	Proton torpedo - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The proton torpedo was a type of ordnance used throughout the Galaxy.
		Proton torpedoes were also used during the Battle of Naboo by Naboo N-1 Starfighter pilots.
		Proton torpedoes employed nuclear or thermonuclear warheads which integrated Nergon-14 mined on Tyne's Horky — likely as the catalyst that triggers the explosion by compressing the bomb material.

	TrekWars - The Furry Conflict: Proton Torpedoes
		Proton Torpedoes, not to be confused with Photon Torpedoes, are powerful explosive devices most often found in use aboard starfighters.
		This process takes less than a millisecond, in which time the proton torpedo explosion is "focused" in a specific direction, similar to the "shaped charge" armor-piercing weapons used by ancient militaries for killing heavily armored installations and vehicles.
		Because of this focusing effect, proton torpedoes are best used against targets sporting heavy shields or armor.

	Tech Commentaries
		Eventually, however, the explosive yield of proton torpedoes simply could not compete with its more advanced counterparts (both in terms of raw energy and energy efficiency) and its propulsion capabilities were limited due to its inability to draw reactants from the static (and heavy) warhead.
		As a result, the plasma torpedo (often colloquially referred to as a photon torpedo for much the same reasons why disruptors are often mislabeled as phasers) was is in effect a missile version of the disruptor bolt, thus precluding the need for the sophisticated magnetic fields required for matter-antimatter warheads.
		One significant benefit of ion and quantum torpedoes is that, to a limited extent, the means by which they boost a photon torpedo's explosive yield also permits the torpedo to be efficiently upscaled for use as a heavy weapon.

	Star Wars vs Star Trek Technology: SW Torpedoes
		However, most proton torpedoes are low-yield devices intended for use against "soft targets" like ground installations or fighters, and proton torpedoes are generally useless against capital ships until their shields are dropped.
		Proton torpedoes are highly maneuverable; Luke Skywalker's torpedoes easily executed a 90 degree turn within the 2 metre diameter of the DS1's exhaust port in ANH.
		Proton torpedoes are also very accurate, and can strike to within 3 metres under optimum conditions (although broadband sensor jamming tends to reduce their accuracy in battle).

	Torpedo Sphere - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		The torpedo tubes tubes were grouped in 120 clusters arranged in several tiers below the hull centerline, with each cluster consisting of four tubes centered around a DER targeting control room; it appears that there was one reserve tube for every six clusters, as each torpedo magazine fed 25 tubes.
		A Torpedo Sphere was equipped with a dozen large hangar bays, each normally operating a flight of two or three transport or personnel shuttles—although each was capable of launching four shuttles simultaneously, and all were connected by lifts to internal bays where additional craft could be stored and serviced.
		Torpedo spheres did not carry TIE Fighters or defensive batteries, however, and this lack was not entirely compensated for by the Bombard Squadrons which they commanded, as these consisted mainly of light cruisers and pickets.

	Starfleet Jedi: Star Wars Weapons
		Fighter-grade proton torpedos have a yield between 1 and 10 terajoules.
		If a proton torpedo contains a proton soup - i.e., hydrogen-1 - in its most dense known form (metallic) and reacted the most energetically (i.e., by fusion) then it could have a total explosive yield of up to ~1 exajoule per cubic meter.
		Proton torpedos and the small blue bombs dropped by TIE bombers produce incandescent fireballs not far from this range.

	Star Wars vs Star Trek Technology: ST Torpedoes
		Since no photon torpedo explosion has ever destroyed a ship without assistance from a warp core breach (which is inevitable in the event of a starship's destruction), we can conclude that photon torpedoes are not capable of vaporizing large starships as is often claimed.
		Photon torpedo accuracy is excellent against targets which are either immobile or travelling in a predictable path- a photon torpedo struck a 1.5 metre target from 80,000km away in "The Changeling".
		The DS9 TM states that quantum torpedo yield is roughly 50 isotons, while photon torpedoes are limited to a theoretical maximum of 25 isotons.

	Torpedo Sphere
		All the torpedoes are fired at the weak point (usually being no greater than six metres square) to create a breach in the shield (which lasts only a few microseconds) from which blasts from the heavy turbolasers pass through to destroy the planetary shield generators.
		Four Torpedo Tubes (one at each corner of the room), and a pair of specialized power generators (which are essential to power the DER targeting computers) flank each control room.
		The Torpedo Sphere's proton torpedo tubes are arranged in an inverted conical formation, while its heavy turbolaser batteries surround the tubes.

		Other warheads such as concussion missiles could be fired from the launchers, but this required a considerable amount of time and effort on the part of the technical crews, and the overall versatility of the proton torpedo was ideally suited to the X-wing's varied mission profile.
		Hyperspace capable, X-wings had pairs of wing-like strike foils, or S-foils, mounted at the rear of the craft; normally the foils on each side were locked flush against each other, but during combat the foils were folded out to increase the spread coverage of the laser cannons mounted at the tips of the foils.
		A third torpedo bay was added where previously a cargo bay was fitted; this increased the proton torpedo load out to nine.
