STRENGTHS

• Firepower: Each Kodashi Viper comes equipped with six laser cannons and two missile launchers
• Compact: For the amount of firepower that it has, the Kodashi Viper is a relatively small and compact starfighter, making it more difficult to hit during combat
• Upgrade: Each Kodashi Viper comes equipped with a full suite B.A.M.T.O.P upgrades, including Dornean Plasma, G.O.U.P and Kaleidoscopic Polymer
• Supermaneuverable: Because of the way that its wings are constructed, the Kodashi Viper is exceptionally maneuverable for a craft of its size

WEAKNESSES

• Fragile: The Kodashi Viper is a relatively fragile craft, relying on its small size and deflector shields to stay alive during combat
• Stock: The Kodashi Viper is too small to equip SLAM and other comparable systems, preventing it form receiving any speed or maneuverability boosts during combat
• Blindside: The X-Wing sensor cone sticking out of the front of the starfighter can make it somewhat difficult to see what is directly ahead of the craft
• Cramped: The inside of the Kodashi Viper is said to be especially uncomfortable for pilots to sit in for long periods of time

DESCRIPTION

Relatively little is known about the TIE Raptor, an unusual and unofficial modification of a TIE Fighter used by a single Imperial Warlord hundreds of years ago. Nonetheless, from what information is available about the craft, it was apparently quite effective in combat, and the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has decided to integrate the examples it has in its inventory within its naval forces, albeit with a few modifications of its own.

To do this, the Imperial Remnant combined existing TIE Raptor chassises with components from X-Wing Starfighters, creating the Kodashi Viper. Each Kodashi Viper comes equipped with a total of six laser cannons and two missile launchers, giving the starcraft considerable firepower, along with deflector shields and a number of electronic warfare subsystems. Coupled with the vessel's high maneuverability, these components give the Kodashi Viper a considerable edge when fighting other starfighters and support craft.

Unfortunately, the Kodahsi Viper does have a few quirks with its design, being unable to equip SLAM or other similar systems while also being difficult to see out of due to the nose cone of the X-Wing somewhat blocking the pilot's view. The Kodashi Viper is best used by more experienced pilots who can compensate for the starfighter's shortcomings.
