Characteristics
Strengths:
- Higher than average armament to outpower the enemy and aimed at putting enemy fighters on the defensive
- Versatile array of weaponry allows the starfighter to be used to support a multifunctional role
- Because of the narrow design of the craft, attacks from in front and behind the craft are harder to hit
Weaknesses:
- The starfighter sacrifices speed to more heavily arm itself. Because of this the ship can be outsped if unable to secure the blow early
- Because of ship’s profile, flanking attacks are much easier to land of the craft and do damage to the hull
- Lack of solid ship chassis could result in vital components (ie engines, laser, etc) being sheared off
Description
The CA-05 Isihin’i-class Chiss Starfighter was designed and developed with the intentions of bringing a multi-purpose role starfighter into the Ascendancy’s inventory that could fill-in in a number of different situations. It’s designs were heavily based off the designs recovered from the now aged and outdated B-wing utilized by the Rebellion back in the days of the Galactic Empire under Emperor Palpatine. It is heavily armed as compared to the the Fangcraft and the Clawcraft already present in the ranks of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Isihin’i offers a new angle by focussing more on overall firepower than on speed and maneuverability.Throughout the development of the Isihin’i, the scientists, engineers and technicians forced a new perspective while still adhering to the innate value of life for the pilots that flew the ship, ensuring that such countermeasures as chaff and ejection seating remained even if it meant sacrificing certain advanced systems such as short-range sensor jamming.
