ICBM are area effect. These would hit a single target.

I mean, do you think of it being launched by another unit or built by itself? Also, what is it meant to be effective against?

It should require a laimch platform, such as a ship or fixed defense structure. The power and range should depend on the size of the launching platform. For example, a cruiser should carry larger shio killer missiles than a fighter.

It is intended to target ships and space installations. It provides a stand off fire caoabiluty. The missile will be vulnerabke to counter fire.
