Avenger-class Starfighter
Image Source: Here
Affiliation: ArmaTech Combat Systems
Manufacturer: ArmaTech Combat Systems
Model: Mk1
Modularity: Aesthetics, Modular Weapon Emplacements
Production: Mass
Material: Duranium-Terenthium Metal Matrix Composite, Duraplast, Transparisteel, Starship Components
Classification: Starfighter
Length: 10 Meters
Height: 2.5 Meters
Width: 8 Meters
Armament:
Dual Laser Cannon (1)
Dual Modular Weapon Emplacements (2)
Squadron Count: 12
Special Features:
Speed Rating: 2
Hyperdrive Class: 1.0
Strengths:
The Avenger was built with the idea that versatility is synonymous with ability. While nothing extremely special in combat, equipped with normal weapons and shielding for a Starfighter it is average in space combat, roughly the equivalent to an X-wing in terms of ability, shields, hull strength, etc. Where it makes up for this is in atmosphere or aquatic environments, able to transition between the three seamlessly. In atmosphere and aquatic it makes use of computer controlled Canards near the front of the fighter with thinner vanes running the length of the vessel. These canards shift slightly when turning or preforming maneuvers in these environments assisting the avionics system of the craft allowing it to preform greater feats of agility and alacrity. In addition on the rear of the craft there are a pair of adjustable s-foils capable of rotating in three dimensions also controlled by the avionics computer to assist in flight capability.
Making use of Hydrostatic fields the ship can transition to aquatic environments, where it can be used to great effect as a support fighter. This also allows it to flee where its opposition cannot follow, allowing for a respite, laying in ambush, or used to outmaneuver an opponent. In water it relies on its repulsorlifts for propulsion and makes use of a rear tail-flap as a rudder to assist in steering. While not necessarily a significant advantage in combat, being able to transition to aquatic environments does eliminate the need to produce specialized craft when on aquatic worlds, and as most worlds do have an ocean of sorts it simply adds something extra its opposition probably doesn't have.
In keeping with ArmaTech's style, the ship has modular hard points for weapons and general purpose warhead launchers allowing it to be loaded or equipped with a variety of weaponry and loadouts. This is a simple conversion that can be done between battles, though attempting to do so during a battle is a unfeasible. The hardpoints can be fitted with any blastercannon sized weapon, be they mass driver, blastercannon, ion cannon, etc. It mounts its wireless systems in a segregated network from its computers needed for flight and combat.
