- Fuel Injectors: The Twin Ion engines of the Anseri have direct fuel injection systems
to allow extreme bursts of speed. - Gyroscopic Stabilizers: Several Gyroscope systems combine to form an array to
improve maneuverability. - Holographic Display: A 200 degree emersive holographic control display allows
the driver total control of all systems. - Insulated Circuitry: Copper Ultrachrome Circuitry affords protected high performance electronics.
- Identity Beacon: A unique beacon that can be tracked by allied long distance scanners.
- Maneuvering Repulsars: Micro Repulsars peppered across the ship combine
to afford incredible agility. - Micro Maneuvering Controls: Advanced system controls integrated with the
ships systems to allow ease of their control. - Power Compensators: Compensators and Dampeners allow the ship to go low
profile to avoid some scanners. - Scanner: A scanner is equipped on the ship to scan and map locations and track energy signatures.
- Shield Booster: A direct link to the ships power converter allows the ships shield
to be recharged once quickly in emergency circumstances. - Shield System: A shield System to allow the Driver to resist G-Force and protect
the ship from singular impacts. - Solar Fins: Allow the ship to convert solar energy into power, as well as maintain
control in atmospheres. - Weapons: Twin linked Hawk Anti Material Machine Gun Systems, available in the
Anseri Mk.II. Though they can be changed.
- Angelic Speed: The Anseri is an award winning speeder craft modeled after the light-weight craft that are seen in many pod racing tracks across the outer regions. Combining the borderline illegal blood-sports brutal practicality with top shelf modern technology, House Aquilas Quartermasters guild created a product that was low profile, that could pitch and yaw on an Imperial Credit and function at incredible speeds. Segregated floating coupled components allow the ship to be lightweight and have incredibly low wind resistance combined with the lightweight Ultrachrome B Alloy to allow it to maintain its integrity at high velocities. The ship stabilizes itself through an array of gyroscopes which spread out across the ships body and ion coupled fins, using the ships own momentum to keep it steady against gravity while microrepulsars, air brakes and its own internal gyroscopic steering in conjunction to curve and turn at insidious velocities.
- Zero to X: Fuel injectors and a next generation Dual Ion Engine combined with its light frame and low friction materials allow the Anseri to reach forces as high as 1G within a handful of moments and accelerate past them with gusto. The Aquilas Anseri in both its Mk.I and Mk.II variants affords the driver a level of speed and control that without the shielding systems in place would be immediately detrimental to the pilot due to the acceleration and the forces of friction that would act upon them.
- Hybrid Speeder: The Gyroscopes and Repulsarlift systems afford the Speeder a level of control as to how much gravity the ship wants to be effected by. With the coupling fins loose and separate, the ship at even its highest speeds cannot gain the lift to fight against the force generated by its gyros which increase in grounding force in tandem with the ships momentum. However, these fins can be retracted and coupled to the ship, giving the central ship a higher aerodynamic profile and much more lift, allowing it to skim across the air in low altitudes.
- One Shot Wonder: While this ship has almost no active defenses which can shield it against incoming damage hardwired into its plating, the CROSS system compensates by allowing it to take a single heavy impacts before taking structural damage that would see it spiral into a highly volatile explosive fireball. Although it fails to hold up to any concentrated assault due to the CROSS' weakness to continuous fire, it protects the vehicle from some of the more dangerous initial impacts that would see speeders like this typically annihilated in an opening volley and little more. Thankfully, combined with the ships Earlybird Warning System, the Anseri is somewhat defended against even should it be struck with a heavy weapon during an ambush.
- Mk.I & Mk.II: The Mk.II of this ship gives up its undercarriage storage compartment to put in place the rangefinders, targeting systems and required components to place a single twin linked Hawk Heavy Blaster Guns. The Guns are capable of firing simultaneously or in a staggered nature for a more consistent stream of fire. These weapons, although light for a vehicle are more than capable at dealing with light vehicles and personnel of most kinds.
WEAKNESSES
- Lightly Plated: The Aquila Anseri while it has a shield system which can protect it against singlular heavy impacts due to the reactive armour, the speeder itself's plating is made to resist the elements and friction of its own motion and speed... not the impact of a blaster making it exceedingly fragile should it or its systems be struck by any weapon with some gusto to it. In truth, without the vehicles limited shielding, it may as well be made of paper.
- Ion Prone: Ion weapons are key at disrupting the one and only defensive system this ship has against external damage. Shutting down the ships CROSS not only makes the ship more vulnerable, but it compromises its ability to recharge in any sufficient manner due to putting intense pressure on the direct to shield power supply.
- Fractured Acceleration: Should the shield of the Aquila Anseri be compromised the, full force of the friction of the ships speed imposes itself upon the Pilot and passengers, potentially causing injury and forcing all but the most endurant passengers to be able to fly the ship at its standard speeds unprotected at forces that'd break the ribs of a Wookie.
- Altitude Restriction: Air breaks require air or other heavy gasses in order to give resistance to the fins, momentum to the gyros allowing it to maneuver at its incredibly high speeds. Forcing the Anseri to keep under 250m before its performance begins to get negatively afflicted
- Limited Weapons: Able to carry no more than a single twin linked heavy blaster underneath the ship.
DESCRIPTION
The Anseri began as little more than a thought experiment, having witnessed more than his fair share of Pod Racing while his family were in bed with the Hutts. It was difficult for Felix to comprehend the intense speed and agility of mind that it would take in order for a person, human or otherwise to operate at such extreme velocities. Figuring that the concepts that are in play with these stitched together barely functioning junk craft using parts of discarded starships could be applied to a speeder of more repute, the beginnings of the Anseri were created. Using high octane and quality parts with a chassis made of a material capable of holding back the environments, the Anseri 'ae' would become the first in a line of performance speeders that would culminate with the Anseri.
The Anseri made its controversial Debut in entering pod-racing competitions, challenging ace racers with their custom machines and narrowly edging ahead of them in a series of victories with occasional losses that pitched it as a competitive ship that could be raced across the galaxy. All the while its leather interior combined the sheer performance of an ace pilots ship with the decadent experience of a luxury craft.
The Military variant came out afterward, with the establishment of the House Aquila Security Force the need was established for a high speed scout vehicle that was capable of delivering up to four soldiers to a location with the gear they carried in order to rapidly respond to threats, escort VIPs or scout locations. As such, though its an expensive system it was put to limited use to begin with, outfitted with some of House Aquilas weaponry be it the DS or C series, its ability to keep a low energy profile, engage at speed and out maneuver and perform almost any and all of its competition has seen it be one of the highest profile vehicles in House Aquilas employ.
