Description:Realizing that while his last project, the X-13, was a capable all around fighter, he felt that it was lacking in it's ability to take on aerial targets without drawing out the fight. This lead him back to the drawing board to design a purpose built interceptor. The original design came about while replaying the message he received from a former squadmate he encountered as a foe over Boz Pity. The design was named after his wingman, the only known female pilot of his former command. She had been like a sister to him and he felt that it would be a fitting memorial to her aggressive nature in combat. She took the fight to the enemy, pressing the offensive which is exactly what this ship is designed to do.
Though the 8 laser cannons give the craft more of a punch than most interceptor craft, there are no warheads onboard, nor does it have any hardpoints on which to carry them. While fine for fighters, it cannot engage a capital ship or hardened ground target. The cannons would be effective up to perhaps light or medium ground vehicles and against infantry, but would require multiple passes against a medium armored target to put even a dent in it. It uses four thrust vectored 4j.4 fusial thrust engines for propulsion and to attain its speed and maintain high maneuverability. To save weight and keep its speed up, it has no onboard droid brain, leaving all tactical and vital data to be interpreted by the pilot. This lead to the fighter requiring the utmost concentration to fly and fight in.
Development Thread: No
Intent: A memorial to a lost sister in arms, as well as provide Kurayami a dedicated anti fighter craft.
