ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Vast array of Weaponry and Defenses
• Mini repair drones, capable of restoring Bomber to 70 percent operational capacity within 72 hours, even after suffering heavy damage
• Unlike most bombers in this class, is fully submersible
• Life Support Systems, including Built in healing field generator and stasis technology
• Built in Droid Brain Autopilot
• Built in Molecular Furnace to manufacture basic repair parts

STRENGTHS

• Why Won't You Die: It's defenses enable it to withstand punishment that would raise the eyebrows even of other star Bomber pilots, tanking blows that would obliterate other ships in the same size and role
• Guns Of The Patriots: Vast array of deadly weapons to shred through the opposition, including a composite beam laser cannon with immense reach based off the Prototype B6
• Go Anywhere: Fully Submersible. Even the ocean is no haven for House Enemies.
• Fixit: Micro repair drones enable this vessel to repair itself in three days or less to 70 percent operable capability with the aid of repair parts and raw materials from a Molecular Furnace. (Weak Shields, 2 Hyperdrive jumps, Laser Cannons only) The rest must be fixed at Drydock
• Self Reliant: It's Solar Power System completely divorces it from the need for Hypermatter fuel...it only runs on Solar, and for up to seven months with all systems running. Also Possesses a built in Healing Field Generator in the cockpit, which fixes minor wounds in a span of 24 hours, and a built in Stasis chamber to preserve the pilot if their wounds are too severe to treat and the Droid Brain Auto Pilot will try to get them to safety by taking over the flying.

WEAKNESSES

• Speed: You're not outrunning that Interceptor
• Turns: You're not out turning an interceptor either
• Weapon Recharge: It's Energy Torpedos require 14 seconds to recharge between firings. It's Composite Beam Laser Cannon requires 42 seconds between every firing to recharge, and no other weapons can be used for about 30 seconds after due to the power drain
• Underwater Limits: Underwater only it's Energy Torpedoes work, and it can only be underwater for 7 hours
• Laser Cannon Range: Due to the mass power Requirements, it's standard laser cannons have only three Fourths the typical range they would have, meaning the bomber must get closer to its target to reliably hit it
• Repair limits: After the micro Drones make their initial repairs, they shut down for 12 hours and any further (minor) repairs will require more raw materials being found
• Recharge Vulnerability: The best time to hit it is when it's Recharging it's power near a star, as it takes about 70-77 minutes and it can't move while charging. Also, any damage it's collectors suffer will translate into the power plant, potentially causing catastrophic damage.

DESCRIPTION

This Craft is the Main Heavy Bomber Ship of choice for deployment to use against heavy capital ships or General Purpose Orbital Bombardment by House Io. Based off a more Ancient vessels used by those who resisted Sith Authority, Xiphos has deliberately chosen to model many of her naval machines on those used by Pro Republic and Jedi Powers as a deliberate taunt and insult to her enemies in the GA and SJC---she is essentially trying to murder them with variations of equipment used by those they try to live up to.
