Description: The DX-74 Mynock was designed as a cheap and easy to produce ship, utilizing high numbers to overwhelm enemies. This does, however, come with heavy drawbacks. The fighter was not designed with defense in mind, and is little more than a mount for anti-fighter blasters. The only system added to help prolong the pilot's life was converting the nose and cockpit into a self-contained segment that could detach from the main body to act as an escape pod.
