• Self-Repair System

• Firepower - The ship is designed as a combat superiority starfighter regardless of circumstances.
• Armored - The ship is designed to keep high value individuals alive and well despite the odds.
• Speed - Besides the NVoID engines already exhaustive list of abilities, the SLAB-01 System enhancement further heightens the abilities of the starships speed capability when enabled. Can adjust speed with either a +1 or +2.
• Maneuvering - Further additions to the NVoID engines produce an alarming amount of gimbaled thrust for agile maneuvers to be performed when enabled. Can adjust maneuverability with either a +1 or +2.
• Shield Slip - The ICE Field Disruptor system allows for the starfighter and occupant to slip through a shield system without issue, making covert operations possible.
• Path Engine - The Path Engine provides a unique use of hyperspace through Path's not usable by standard Hyperdrives.
• Anti-Trace Ions - Makes for a more reliable getaway vehicle when the enemy cannot follow your ion trail through hyperspace.
• Self-repair - A handy feature that was adapted down from a design used for the Eternal Empire in their factory starship to allow for in field repairs without needing a dry dock.
• Stealth - A blend of optical and anti-scanning stealth measures allow for the starship to operate as a clandestine recon vessel.
• Jedi Only - A lightsaber is required to operate the starship, limiting its use.

• All Ahead - Despite being armed to the teeth, all weapons besides the Bomblet generator are forward facing.
• SLAB-bed - The SLAB-01 system is only operable when the engines are operating without issue, and can only be engaged for a limited time. Speed increase gives a -1 or -2 point equivalent for maneuverability.
• AIMS-off - The AIMS system functions in a similar manner to the SLAB-01 system and requires the engines to be operating without fault and for a limited time before engine failure is likely. Maneuverability increase gives a -1 or -2 point equivalent to Speed.
• Potentially ICED - The Ice Field Disruptor system however requires the shields to be disabled completely for a select amount of time, allowing for potential issues.
• Pathed Out - If attempting to jump in tandem with other starships, the backup hyperdrive is required as other ships are not usually equipped with Path Engines.
• Needing Traced - The anti-trace systems make for a difficult rescue when your allies cannot follow your trail either.
• Weakness - Damage to the hull will remove the optical camouflage alongside moving too quickly and the stealth polymer is not impossible to detect, just immensely difficult.
• Timely Repair - While the self-repair system is handy, it requires extensive time for more intricate systems leaving one waiting.
• Space Wizardy - Even if someone that is not a Force User obtains a lightsaber, they can operate the vessel at alarmingly reduced capabilities as a number of functions require a connection to the Force to operate.

An overengineered and overdesigned starship based on the T-65 X-wing from the reclusive mind at the helm of Priddy General Engineering and Manufacturing.

While the starship itself is a multifaceted tool for the Jedi, its systems are well out of reach for the standard being.

Capable of functioning as a recon ship with its broad array of sensors. As an attack starfighter with the spread of weapons on board, or even as a search and rescue due to its incredible speed and agility.

It is operable only when a lightsaber is plugged into the central column and glowing the respective color of the pilot's blade when the weapons systems are activated. More intensive use of the starfighter requires a Force attuned individual to operate a great many of the more advanced systems via what is believed to be a Force Reactive Metal blended into the onboard systems. Supposedly, one is able to feel the starship around them as though they were the starship itself. Becoming an extension of their own body and able to react to their impulses as well as their will. While one's hands remain on the otherwise standard control columns, every tactile response channeled through the pilot is sent to the starship.

While this allows for hyperfluid responsiveness from the starship as a whole without requiring a neural interface device, it does demand a great deal of focus from the operator. From arming weapons, adjusting the thrust of an engine, or engaging the camouflage system, all of these controls are based on the pilot's connection to the Force.

Supposedly, a highly adept Force user would be able to operate the starship without even needing to use the control columns.

The engines of this starship are highly adaptable using the NVoID system as a basis and expanding upon them with a SLAB system to further, if temporarily, enhance the thrust capabilities of the engines. On the flip side, the AIMS system is the direct opposite, providing a lopsided enhancement to the agility of the vessel at the cost of speed. All of this is maintained with a tensor system that allows for maneuvers that would otherwise rip a starship in half while in atmosphere while adding the boon of resisting and aiding in retaining or gaining lost momentum against motion based interdiction systems such as tractor beams when activated.

Paired with a unique coating of Stealth Polymer and intricate optical devices along the hull, the ship is capable of appearing as nothing more than a bit of particle dust on scans and empty space to a visual scan.

Featuring a centralized, six-engine array forming the junction of the s-foils in a departure from the standard design for the High Republic to further separate this design from the standard. The airframe has been slimmed down and rounded to match the general esthetic of the intended recipients while attempting to further reduce drag in atmosphere alongside a reduction in the target profile in the process. While not as iconic in appearance, the ship is by no means anything to scoff at.

Proud of the design, the schematics were sent off specifically to the Jedi Council of The High Republic for approval before being put into production for their use.

Amazing as usual. I'd like to ask you to add this field to the template:

Squadron Count: (Please provide the amount of fighters this submission would have in a squadron. The average squadron for any starfighter is 12, at lengths averaging 12.5 meters. The bigger the fighter, the smaller your Squadron Count should be. The smaller the fighter, the bigger your Squadron count can be. [None: 1 | Very Low: 4 | Low: 8 | Average: 12 | High: 16 | Very High: 20 | Extreme: 24 ] Squadron Sizes may be listed as just the rating.)
