Vortex Missiles are a type of Vortex Weapon which can be launched either by a Deathstrike Missile Launcher or an Imperial Titan. They are a product of the Dark Age of Technology.1
These weapons are as rare as they are powerful, tearing apart the very fabric of reality to create a gaping hole that sucks everything its touches into the Warp. Vortex missiles mounted on Deathstrike platforms are so valuable that they are guarded at a minimum by an entire infantry platoon, charged with concealing the weapon from enemy saboteurs and kill-teams. Nominally only Segmentum Command can sanction their use, and the launch codes are entrusted solely to the Lord Commissar in charge of the missile, as only these individuals combine loyalty to the Imperium with the resolution to fire this doomsday weapon at any cost.2
