  • Internalized Shield Generators, and Emitters.
  • Internalized Fusion Reactor.
  • Anti-Ordnance EM Probe(s) - Long-range Missile Interceptor.
  • Missile Deactivators, and Sensor Inverters; Short-range Missile Interceptors and Jammers.
    • Sensor Invertors - The Module, when activated, emits a pulse of Electromagnetic energy that Interferes with a Conventional Warhead's Seeking System. If affected, the Warhead's homing signal could be inverted, allowing the Projectile to be returned to sender.
  • Animated Metal Sealant, with Automated Repair Remote.
  • Seeker Nanomissile Warheads; Rear-firing Missile Interceptors - Requires Missile Target-lock to Properly Intercept Incoming Warheads.
  • Squadron Mask; Disables Starfighter's Transponder via Dedicated Jamming Module, Requires Additional Starfighters to Increase Potency during a Dogfight.

Strengths

• Highly Automated, with Animated Metal Sealant, Automated Repair Droids, and Minor Regenerative Properties.
• Comprehensive Countermeasure, Sensor and Targeting Suite.
• Small Forward and Rear Attack Profile - Lower Probability of Scoring Hits.
• Performance Enhancements:
  • Shielded and Aerodynamic - Marginal Increase(s) in Speed and Maneuverability in Atmospheric Conditions.
  • Advanced Power Coupling(s) - Capable of Shunting additional Power to Shields, Weapons, or Engines for Marginal Performance Increases.
• Squadron Mask - Disables Starfighter's Transponder via Dedicated Jamming Module; Best Used in Dogfights due to Pilot Confusion.
• SLAM System; Temporary Speed Boost at the Cost of Disabled Armament.
• Sensor Inverter; Short-ranged Missile Redirector via Microburst EM Pulse - Works best with Conventional Warheads.

Weaknesses

• Heavy Automaton and Slaved Systems; Combat Performance is Significantly Hindered if Disabled by EMP attacks or excess Ionization.
• Limited EMP and Ion Resistance(s); Sustained Damage is Dependant on Attacking Device(s) Potency / Scale and Proximity.
• Fixed Forward Weapon Placements; Consistent Reorientation for Target Acquisition.
• Repulsorlift Jammers; Proximity Dependent as Jammers are Less Effective at a Distance.
• Advanced Power Couplings - Notable Dips in Operational Performance when Power's Allocated away from Major System(s.)
  • Shunted to Engines: Weapons and Shielding are Weaker.
  • Shunted to Weapons: Speed is Reduced and Shielding is Weaker.
  • Shunted to Shields: Speed is Reduced and Weapons are Weaker.
• Large Dorsal and Ventral Attack Profile - Higher Probability of Scoring Hits.
• Squadron Mask - Disables Starfighter's Transponder via Dedicated Jamming Module; Ineffective at Range.
  • Conventional Sensors are Not Effected and the Starfighter / Squadron can still be Targeted.
  • Requires a "Cooldown" After Each Use.
• SLAM System; Reroutes Power from Weapons to Engines - Temporarily Disables Armament.
• Assault Shield - Double Front; When Utilized, Port, Starboard and Aft Shielding is Weaker than the Bow / Fore Vector.
• Sensor Inverter; Works best with Conventional Warheads; Higher Chance of Failure in more Advanced Warheads.
