ADVANCED SYSTEMS

[*]Stealth:

Strengths:
  • Ability to resist conner nets and EMPs
  • Ability to penetrate interdiction fields
  • Fast, maneuverable
  • Stealth suite
  • Nykkalt hull plating: While it can reflect scans from other ships, and hence may not render the blockade runner invisible by itself, but it does make it harder to discern
  • Slim flank profile
  • High hyperspace speed
Weaknesses:
  • Takes up a large amount of hangar resources: it takes up the amount of resources of an entire squadron of attack craft in a hangar bay
  • Exposed weapons hardpoints
  • Exposed engine struts
  • Limited ordnance
  • Mobility is reduced when the stealth suite is active
  • Maneuverability is reduced when the SLAM is active
Description: It was found that the Telepath's tailfin and S-foils were liabilities, so a redesign of the Telepath chassis was in order. Although, operationally, the Jabiim is very similar to the Telepath, here the nosecone is used to house sensors, EWAR equipment and the stealth suite. In addition, the nykkalt hull is used to help the blockade runner avoid detection, while making the contents invisible from the sensors, even though it does not render the ship itself invisible. The stealth suite allows the ship itself needs to be rendered invisible, at a cost of mobility. When entanglements force a stealth blockade runner to fight, two heavy repeating electromagnetic plasma cannons and an ordnance bay allow it to fight, even though the ordnance bay has a limited capacity.

When stealth is not that important, but sublight speed is essential, a SLAM device allows it to give a boost of speed at the expense of maneuverability. However, it cannot be activated when the S-foils are extended; the S-foils are designed to help land the ship in atmosphere. In addition, new molecular toilets enable the ship's occupants to remain onboard for extended durations of flight. Finally, the resources needed for the upkeep of such a diminutive stealth platform are staggering: it takes up the resources of an entire squadron of starfighters if the pilot decides to have the craft hangared onboard a larger ship, most often out of necessity, such as rearming the ship or emergency repairs.
