STANDARD FEATURES

• Power Plant
  • A hypermatter annihilation power core. Highly tuned with excess output.
• Maneuvering Thrusters
• Magnetic Docking Clamps
• Life Support
• Sensor/Comms Suite
  • A set of sensors and communication equipment. Well-made and practical, offering every form of contemporary detection and long-range communications across the HoloNet.
• Interior Features
  • A sparse but functional interior with a mini armory and living facilities. Enough room for two people, and a holding cell capable of holding two prisoners. There is also a cargo storage area with enough room for a compact speeder bike.
  • Security: standard but comprehensive security systems including surveillance, systems logging, and anti-theft countermeasures.

ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Advanced Targeting Computer
  • A targeting computer that can track targets through the chaos of battle. Quite capable of filtering out debris and very difficult to fool. Feeds directly to the weapons.
• Advanced Flight/Nav Computer
  • A savvy flight computer and astronavigation system. Highly accurate readouts, smooth performance, and encrypted astronavigation data.
  • Equipped with a low-visibility mode for navigating dark or lightless environments.
• Advanced Countermeasures
  • Anti-electronic warfare suite to prevent technological attacks or the remote seizure of systems.
  • DER Projector that absorbs and blocks long-range detectability. Additional electronic countermeasures mitigate short-range detection.
• Advanced Shield Generator
  • A powerful shield generator with multiple layers: particle, deflector, and molecular.
• Sol-Mk. VI Ion Engine
  • This engine has been modified to disable safety limiters, allowing the ion engine to be pushed to maximum performance.
  • Equipped with a class 0.5 hyperdrive.
  • Equipped with an NCRAB device.
  • Equipped with a HIMS device.
  • Equipped with a SubLight Acceleration Motor.

STRENGTHS

• Phased Pulse Cannons: Armed with a pair of rapid-fire cannons that can overwhelm shields, melt through armor, and incinerate organic matter.
  
  
• Super Shell: Covered in a layer of protective impervium alloy with laser-reflective coating. Further bolstered by a multi-layer shield generator to soak up serious blows and survive collisions.
  
  
• Modded Engine: Removed limiters allow the Sol-Mk. VI Ion Engine to achieve maximum performance and speeds that match those of racing ships. Additional attachments include a class 0.5 hyperdrive, NCRAB device, SLAM, and HIMS.
  
  
• Sensor Block: Advanced countermeasures entirely absorb and block long-range sensor pings, and short-range scans are scrambled.

WEAKNESSES

• Weak Struts: The struts that connect the ailerons and maneuvering thrusters to the main hull are particularly vulnerable. A well-placed high-energy shot or explosive could separate them, inhibiting overall maneuverability.
  
  
• Unruly: A downside to the uncapped engine performance is that the starship is difficult to pilot at high speeds, and produces a very detectable wake from the thrust output.
  
  
• One Option: No missiles, ion cannons, or other weapons to provide battlespace versatility.

DESCRIPTION

Arris Windrun pilots a heavily modified Aggressor-class Assault Fighter called the Catch Perfect. She acquired the gutted chassis on Bracca and spent more than a year hunting down exotic parts and components, resulting in a very fast and well-guarded starfighter. It’s no slouch in a fight either, armed with a pair of military-grade pulse cannons that can overwhelm even molecular shields and melt through starship armor.

The real kicker, however, is the single Sol-Mk. IV ion engine, which gives the stock Aggressor its noteworthy speed. Arris removed the internal limiter, allowing the engine to be pushed to its full potential, and if that wasn’t stupid enough, she installed a SubLight Acceleration Motor which can temporarily boost it to sublight speeds on par with some of the galaxy’s fastest racing ships. It’s very maneuverable, too, thanks to a pair of aileron-mounted thrusters.

On the tech side, the ship comes equipped with a dedicated energy receptor projector, allowing the Catch Perfect to absorb and block incoming sensor pings - rendering the starfighter virtually undetectable to long-range tracking. Some other interesting toys include: a nav computer route astrogation bypass, and a hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer. The first allows the Catch Perfect to make on-the-fly hyperspace adjustments, while the latter prevents the starfighter from falling prey to interdiction fields.

But the Catch Perfect isn’t all deadly arms, daredevil performance, or fancy tech. Inside, the starfighter packs all the necessary amenities to act as a mobile safehouse. Perfect for an on-the-go mercenary lifestyle, like the one that Arris Windrun is accustomed to. If need be, the Catch Perfect can also accommodate a single passenger long-term and has compact holding cells for two prisoners. There’s even a pocket armory and a swoop rack, too.
