A photon missile was a type of projectile weapon used by the naval forces of Dorande around 15 BBY.R2-D2's entry in The New Essential Guide to Characters notes that the Star Wars: Droids comics occur prior to the Star Wars Droids cartoon, which is dated to 15 BBY by . The comic also follows the droids' separation from Captain Antilles, who was granted custody of them in 19 BBY during Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, which The Essential Reader's Companion dates to that year.
A secret Dorande naval invasion force once fired a salvo of photon missiles at Kirk Windjammer's anti-grav loader, destroying it, although Windjammer used his craft's anti-gravity unit to deflect one. Windjammer barely escaped with his astromech droid R2-D2.
