Hasta

The Hasta was a stealth weapons delivery system designed by the Solarian League Navy.
Essentially a mating of the second stage of a Cataphract-C missile with a modified Explorator reconnaissance drone, the Hasta retained the stealthiness of the drone with the ability to operate at reduced acceleration rates to make them even harder to detect. Almost impossible to detect at ranges lower than seventy to eighty light-seconds, even under acceleration, a Hasta on a ballistic approach could be invisible to even active sensors at beyond a 500,000 kilometer range.

The Hasta III, a Mesan Alignment variant of the original Solarian Hasta, was a distinct improvement with a more robust main drive, better stealth features, and a launch range of twenty million kilometers. The newer Hasta III could mount penetration aids similar to the Royal Manticoran Navy's Dragon's Teeth and Dazzlers. Additionally, the Hasta III could be paired with a second, equally stealthy drone to serve as a "tug" that was reusable and existed to move the Hasta undetectably about a system to concentrate their numbers before launch.
