Intent: 
To provide the CIS with a unique and expendable swarm droid starfighter for use on carriers, frigates and corvettes

Development Thread:
Manufacturer: 
Haor Chall Engineering

Model:Hull Released Droid Starfighter

Affiliation: 
 CIS

Modularity: 
 None

Production: 
 Minor Production

Material: 
 Durasteel, Agrinium

Description: 

 This droid starfighter is a descendant of the Vulture Droids created by Haor Chall Engineering during the Clone War of legend. This fighter is equipped with a landing latch that allows for it to hook onto the hull of any vessel for transport to and from an engagement. While they are best used near a carrier where they can be refueled, a squadron or two can latch to the hull of smaller vessels for immediate launch in a shock tactic.

Containing a droid brain that is capable of independent thought, but only enough to accomplish a task while working to avoid being destroyed, they are not the most tactical unit to be deployed. Carrier variants will be able to be controlled by a central droid control unit, which does extend the life expectancy of any one droid star fighter. In order to extend the life of these units, an agrinium mesh was added to surround the droid brain and other vital systems. This is in an effort to protect the unit from electromagnetic, electroproton and ion weaponry.

The fighter carries one homing warhead launcher, a single engine, an ion cannon and its primary weaponry; two lasers cannons. These small fighters are very easy to take in small doses, but when launched en masse, they can become very disruptive to military operations and personnel.

The CIS already has a starfighter, interceptor, and bomber that function as expendable swarm fighters. As well, the intended role of elite starfighter is antithetical to that of a swarm fighter. I can't see anything that potentially makes this stand out above the other accepted models.

Do you want to make some changes and try to make it stand out or would you rather I archive this?

Sorry I took so long getting back. If I archive this for now, can it be brought back out at a latter date with modifications to make it a viable extra craft? This this is so, please archive this submission for now.
