The Pilum FF was a Terran Confederation version of the missile. The Fang FF was a Kilrathi Empire version
Friend or Foe missiles were found on the Rapier II, Raptor, Venture, Krant and Jalthi. They were featured in both Weapons of the Terran and Kilrathi Fleets and Borger's All The Sector's Weapons Systems.
