Strengths:
Heavy Shielding: The Primary attribute of the HAF-1 is the its incredibly heavy shielding. For a fighter, this ship has abnormal amounts of shielding. Along with its standard shield generator the HAF-1 also has a backup shield generator. Both of these generators are larger that those normally situated on a fighter, in fact more suited for a small freighter. This is why the ship is abnormally large, to accommodate for its shields larger size. These shields can take a powerful punch, protecting The HAF-1 from most damage while it's weapons eliminate threats.
Fast Track Turret: Being well aware of the Republics superior maneuverability fighters Titan Industries opted to not even try to compete in this department. Instead, the HAF-1 is equipped with a fast tracking GN-40 twin rotating blaster cannon turret. This weapon, an incredibly fast firing laser cannon is well suited for firing at quick targets, add to that the advanced targeting system and the fast turret mount that it sits upon the HAF-1 is capable of targeting, and firing at ships that would ordinarily be far too slippery for it to target. This means that the HAF-1 is capable of tracking and hitting targets that are much faster than it including Interceptors.
Weaknesses:
Slow: The HAF-1 is predictably a very slow ship. Due to its large size and redundant shield generator the ship carries a lot of weight. Though its engines are suitable size, the HAF-1 is still a lumbering beast compared to most fighters, and compared to most Interceptors it might as well be a star destroyer. Though this is obviously compensated for by its weapons suite.
Light Back Armoring: The HAF-1 relies mostly on its frontal armoring as well as its heavy shielding to keep its safe. Because of this the HAF-1 has a relatively lightly armored back, making it a glaring weak point in the ships design. This is mitigated however by the Mine layer located in the center of the ship, making approaching the vessel from behind dangerous, not to mention that the HAF-1 travels in squadrons of three and bypassing the ships turrets is difficult.
Description:
The HAF-1 was built by Titan Industries to counter the Republics long line of interceptors and fast moving vehicles.
The Ship itself was designed to fit the roll of what many might consider a tank. The design lends itself to durability and frontal assault, capable of taking massive amounts of damage, its heavy shields and armor soaking up laser fire and missiles alike so that it could survive long enough to get close. Fast Ships who moved in to strike against the HAF-1 would be confronted by its fast-tracking Laser Turret.
This weapon system was designed to pick targets out of the sky, its advanced targeting system pinpointing the locations of ships and firing into their path instead of where they actually are. This weapon system was designed to pluck faster ships rather than target slower moving vessels.
Because of this the HAF-1 could be considered more of an anti-fighter corvette rather than a Heavy Starfighter save for its extremely small size.
Accompany the ships fast-tracking turret system and heavy shields in an arrangement of missiles as well as heavy blaster cannons. These weapons were designed as a secondary function against heavier vessels. Most often in combat the HAF-1 does not engage in dogfight, instead it sits and wait for the enemy to come to it, using its superior design weaponry to engage and destroy the target before they can overpower the HAF's shields and armor.
Of course the ship is not without its drawbacks and due to its nature is incredibly slow. The HAF-1 is outpaced by most fighters and especially interceptors. Chasing with this ship is nearly impossible.
Due to the nature of the vessel, its backside is also extremely vulnerable. Though this is mostly covered by its wingmen, and its heavy shielding, the HAF-1 is vulnerable to a strike from behind, becoming damaged far more easily when it is struck from the rear.
