Affiliation: Open-Market
Manufacturer: Aurora Industries
Model: AI-005 Lunar starfighter
Modularity: Torpedo loadout
Production: Mass-produced
Material: Alusteel, transparisteel
Classification: Starfighter
Length: 14.5 meters
Height: 8 meters
Width: 3 meters
Armament:
Two laser cannons mounted on the tip of the wings
Two torpedo launchers (four missile magazine each) under the cockpit
Rear turret is equipped with two heavy laser cannons
Squadron Count: 12
Special Features:
Standard ships systems (navi-computer, life support, sensor array and comms)
Enhanced deflector shields
Rear turret
Chaff deployer (controlled by rear turret gunner)
Advanced targeting systems
Maneuverability Rating: 4
Speed Rating: 4
Hyperdrive: Class 1.5
Strengths:
+ Heavy firepower for a starfighter
+ Advanced shielding on most parts of the fighter
+ Rear turret allows fighter to engage enemies behind the fighter
Weaknesses:
+ Slower than other fighters
+ Shields are weaker in the back to compensate for the rear gunner turret and defensive measures (a well placed shot will destroy it)
Description:
[SIZE=9pt]Drawing inspiration from some of history's more iconic starfighters, Aurora Industries began work on their next starfighter project to compliment the release of the Bastion-class Star Destroyer. Taking example from the old Miy'til starfighter of the Hapan Consortium and the ARC-170 of the Clone War era, the AI-005 Lunar starfighter is designed to fill the role of a primary starfighter among a fleet.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Equipped with two laser cannons on the wing tips, two torpedo launchers on the bottom of the cockpit (each with a four torpedo magazine), and a rear gunner turret that has two side mounted heavy laser cannons, the AI-005 can hit fairly hard. The AI-005 is also equipped with a chaff deployer that is controlled by the rear gunner to stop enemy missile locks during combat.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The AI-005 has advanced deflector shields that cover the majority of the starfighter, but engineers had to compensate for this by placing the barest shielding on the rear of the fighter, figuring that the rear gunner could provide adequate protection. The AI-005 is also slower than other starfighters due to having standard armor and heavier weaponry, a difference from previous Aurora models that focused on speed.[/SIZE]
Development Thread: If necessary
Intent: To develop a brand new starfighter for Aurora Industries to sell to anyone who wants them
Who Can Use This: Anyone who purchases one
