Heavy bombardment missiles are made for the Garnet of Protection killsats. They consist of a standard liquid rocket engine, a smaller less powerful sublight drive, a heavy tungsten penetrator and a warhead. The liquid rocket lines the missile up with the target with thrust vectoring while the main engine accelerates the missile to about Mach 10. The Tungsten head protects it from heat from friction and most point defence systems. Through mass and speed it should punch through the armor and into the hull of the enemy ship then the warhead, usually 1 gram of antimatter though others are availible, detonates causing damage.
