Elite Dangerous Wiki

An augmented weapons module that launches Guardian nanite torpedoes. Its primary purpose is to disrupt Titan heat vents. This pylon is insulated against anti-Guardian field technology used by Thargoid fleets.

— In-Game Description

The Guardian Nanite Torpedo Pylon is a remote release launcher hardpoint created by Aegis. Released on February 26, 3310, the Guardian Nanite Torpedo Pylon is specifically designed for assaults on Thargoid Titan motherships, and is ineffective against other targets. It can be purchased at Rescue Megaships, Stronghold Carriers, and limited starports.

These torpedoes must be aimed at the thermal vents on a Titan’s hull. A sufficiently large payload of Guardian nanites should paralyse these vents. The mothership will be forced to discharge the colossal heat it generates by exposing its inner regions to space, providing sensitive targets for other anti-xeno weaponry to inflict damage.

With the destruction of last Thargoid Titan, Cocijo in Sol on December 18, 3310, there are currently no targets against which the Guardian Nanite Torpedo Pylon can be used.
