STRENGTHS

• BRRRRRRT: The DS-50's "Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannons are capable of outputting frightening amounts of firepower, making the ships well suited for close air support operations
• Maneuverable: The DS-50 is surprisingly maneuverable for a ship of its type, and can temporarily make itself even more maneuverable thanks to its P-w401 Ion Maneuvering Jets
• Homing: The FAE/C-02 Tractor Guidance Network gives the DS-50's laser cannons limited homing capabilities against enemy targets
• Aquatic: The DS-50 is capable of operating underwater for limited periods of time

WEAKNESSES

• Slow: The DS-50 is a relatively slow moving ship, though it can temporarily increase its speed to a certain degree
• No ordinance: The "Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannons installed aboard the DS-50 are so large that they prevent the ship from utilizing any sort of ordinance launchers
• Power drain: The DS-50 is notorious for consuming large amounts of power, which might cause the craft to act erratically or even crash if not properly managed
• Untapped potential: Non-aquatic species of aliens may not be able to get the most out of the DS-50 due to their incompatibility with certain ship systems

DESCRIPTION

Though the DS-47 TIE Fighter proved to be a reliable and formidable design, such a series of ship also proved to be far to expensive to produce in large numbers, forcing the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant to reconsider its production run. Using data taken from Bido Roz’lyn, the Imperial Remnant decided to produce a more "streamlined" variant of the ship more suitable for larger scale production: the DS-50 series.

Compared to the DS-47, the DS-50 is less heavily armed and armored, though it is far more maneuverable. While it may not have the raw firepower of the DS-47, the DS-50 is more than capable of taking out enemy targets with its Chin Mounted L-S9.3 Laser Cannons and "Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannons, both of which have been upgraded with Dornean Plasma.

The DS-50 also comes equipped with a FAE/C-02 Tractor Guidance Network, which essentially gives the craft's weapon systems limited homing abilities. No matter where the enemy may be fighting, the DS-50 is generally able to target them even if at an odd angle or off axis, though this does mean that the craft tends to consume power at an alarmingly high rate. Nonetheless, when used properly, the DS-50 is an impressive piece of Imperial kit, one that allows its pilots to dominate on land, under water, and in the air!
