  • Electromagnetic Warrior: With its ECM and EPM arrays, the Dominance-class Mk. II is capable of exerting significant influence on the electromagnetic environment in almost any given battlespace. It can disrupt enemy targeting solutions while enhancing its own, pierce through concerted jamming, and execute yet more feats.
  • Alpha Strike: Armed with four cannon-grade guns and a magazine of twelve missiles, the Dominance-class has a high armament for a small craft, making it a credible threat to virtually any starship and ground target.
  • Amphibian: The life support systems, electromotive field motors, and hydrostatic fields allow the Dominance to traverse underwater and remain submerged for an indefinite period of time. In a pinch, this function could be used to hide from pursuing enemy forces or even to initiate a surprise attack!
  • Low Profile: The Dominance-class has coatings on its hull which effectively lower the craft’s sensor profile and render it more difficult to distinguish against the backdrop, thereby making it harder to register and lock onto at certain range bands. However, this does not approach true stealth capability, since it does not grant perfect sensor or sensory invisibility.
  • Field Disruption: The Dominance-class's field disruption system allows the craft to physically bypass a large warship's shielding so that it might fire directly on the hull. While this feature is limited in practical application to large vessels with conventional and non-conformal shielding, it is nonetheless a powerful technique that a skilled pilot could take advantage of to potentially lethal effect.
  • Quantity is Quality: Due to its relatively small size, the Dominance-class can be supported in large squadron sizes.
QF94b2S.png

  • Automation: The Dominance-class is supported by a suite of automated processes which govern its targeting systems, power systems, flight control systems, and yet more. In the event that these systems are somehow disabled, whether via EMP/Ion discharge, concentrated slicing, or in rare cases, jamming, the operating efficiency of the craft will be negatively affected.
  • Sensitive Passive Sensors: The passive sensor array on the hull of the Dominance-class is an extreme boon to the pilot’s battlespace awareness, especially in conditions where the use of active sensors may reveal the craft’s location. However, they are also very vulnerable, as even glancing blows can destroy or disable the sensors on or around the affected areas. In essence, as the hull takes more hits, the Spyglass’ passive reception array will become increasingly ineffective.
  • Straight and Narrow: The SLAM Mk. II provides a significant boost to speed and acceleration, but it compromises maneuverability while active.
  • Charge Out: The field disruption system disables the Dominance's shields during the period of its activation.

Developed during the Tenth Sith Empire, the original Dominance-class Strike Fighter emerged as a fusion of First Imperial and Sith-Imperial design philosophies. Replacing the First Order-inspired TIEs which had been the Imperial fleet, the fighter served a prominent role during the early stages of Third Imperial Civil War before being supplanted by newer, more advanced designs such as the Ragnos-class Fighter/Interceptor.

Overseen by First United Astral Engineering, the Mk. II model of the Dominance finally saw these modernizations after many years of serving as a primarily backline craft. Among these modernizations are ECM and ECCM systems, a hyperdrive and path engine, advanced sensors, hybrid engines, improved networking systems, modular armaments, and yet more features both cutting-edge and time-tested. The Dominance Mk. II notably retains the strike foils, which allow for markedly improved heat dispersion while under high-stress conditions.

The standard controls were a pair of independent control columns with levered handgrips. These offered a higher range of motion and control over the starfighter, with strong haptic feedback allowing the pilot to maintain a greater sense of their surroundings. However, programmable matter controls and ergonomics, allowed pilots to configure the cockpit with virtually any control scheme. Neural interfacing was provided by the Symbiotic Ghost Link, effectively melding their minds with the machine when in use. This allowed the pilot to work seamlessly with the fighter, acting almost as if they were one entity.

With these advancements and more, the Dominance Mk. II is hoped to bring forth a new era of Sith aerial and void dominance.

ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Electromagnetic Warrior: With its ECM and EPM arrays, the Umbra Morticana is capable of exerting significant influence on the electromagnetic environment in almost any given battlespace. It can disrupt enemy targeting solutions while enhancing its own, pierce through concerted jamming, and execute yet more feats.
  • Alpha Strike: Armed with four cannon-grade guns (with an option to install disruptor cannons), a magazine of twelve stealth missiles, and an exotic fear broadcast projector, the Umbra Morticana has a powerful armament for a small craft, making it a credible threat to virtually any starship and ground target.
  • Death Dancer: With its uprated engines, the Umbra Morticana is quite notably faster than the stock Dominance-class and significantly more agile. In the latter regard, the craft is capable of dazzling, showstopping maneuvers, enabled by the super capacity inertial compensators which serve to protect both pilot and craft from g-forces which might otherwise tear them apart.
  • Amphibian: The life support systems, electromotive field motors, and hydrostatic fields allow the Umbra Morticana to traverse underwater and remain submerged for an indefinite period of time. In a pinch, this function could be used to hide from pursuing enemy forces or even to initiate a surprise attack!
  • Zero Signature: Achieved through a bleeding edge fusion of Kainite Sith and First United Astral Engineering-designed stealth systems, the Umbra Morticana has unparalleled stealth capabilities, giving it the ability to penetrate into heavily defended and contested enemy space without receiving so much as a glance. These systems render it effectively invisible to sensors, scanners, Force-sensitives, and yet more, making targeting and sensor locks virtually impossible to acquire.
  • Field Disruption: The Umbra Morticana's field disruption system allows the craft to physically bypass a large warship's shielding so that it might fire directly on the hull. While this feature is limited in practical application to large vessels with conventional and non-conformal shielding, it is nonetheless a powerful technique that Seela could take advantage of to potentially lethal effect.
WEAKNESSES
  • Automation: The Umbra Morticana is supported by a suite of automated processes which govern its targeting systems, power systems, flight control systems, and yet more. In the event that these systems are somehow disabled, whether via EMP/Ion discharge, concentrated slicing, or in rare cases, jamming, the operating efficiency of the craft will be negatively affected.
  • Sensitive Passive Sensors: The passive sensor array on the hull of the Umbra Morticana is an extreme boon to the pilot’s battlespace awareness, especially in conditions where the use of active sensors may reveal the craft’s location. However, they are also very vulnerable, as even glancing blows can destroy or disable the sensors on or around the affected areas. In essence, as the hull takes more hits, the Spyglass’ passive reception array will become increasingly ineffective.
  • Straight and Narrow: The SLAM Mk. II provides a significant boost to speed and acceleration, but it compromises maneuverability while active.
  • Quadruple Check: Due to the conflicting operational processes and power demands of the field disruption system, Shadow Cloak Matrix, the Solar Ray Energy Shield, and the “Phase Masque” Distortion Matrix, the Umbra Morticana can only have one of these systems active at a time.
DESCRIPTION
Built from the chassis of the Dominance-class Strike Fighter Mk. II, the Umbra Morticana is an advanced, unique version of the craft intended for the exclusive use of Seela Leini. As one of the Kainate’s leading starfighter aces, Seela was allowed access to top-of-the-line technology, including systems designed by the Kainate Shadow Mind. Thus, the Umbra Morticana is a fusion of conventional (yet bleeding edge) technology and Sith-honed machinery.

Nowhere else is this more apparent than in the craft’s stealth suite, which uses both Kainite Sith and First United Astral Engineering-designed systems. The Sith influence also manifests in the craft’s armament, which includes a fear broadcast projector, wholly weaponizing fear to break enemy morale. The cannon hardpoints are also compatible with the Abyssal Lash Cannon—which fires beams of searing crimson-black plasma that attack perception, flesh, and armor.

With these systems and more, Umbra Morticana is transformed from a traditional multirole starfighter to an aerospatial dancer of death honed by the Sith and piloted by one of their most elite, devoted servants.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Data and Information Security
  • Targeting Systems
  • Power and Energizing Systems
  • Energy Modules
    • Hyper-Ionized Class-D Disruptor Bolt
      • Considered to be the primary energy module, this module manifests a hyper-ionized disruptor bolt that deals damage via a veritable hammer blow of concussive shock (kinetic energy), the searing release of unstable, nonharmonic disruptor energy which can excite and destabilize matter on the atomic level to produce significant atomic obliteration capable of vaporizing virtually all types of materials (including heavy armor), and finally ionization energy which can disrupt electronics and overload energy shields in the manner of an electromagnetic pulse. Of particular significance, the bolt has an explosive effect upon connecting with a shield or solid object, including energy fields.
    • Class-D Plasma Disruptor Bolt
      • The Class-D plasma disruptor module manifests a fractal electro-plasma discharge that deals damage via three components: Raw electricity which can short out and overload electronics. Nonharmonic disruptor plasma which can simultaneously destabilize and superheat matter on the atomic level to produce significant atomic obliteration and thermal energy release. And finally, kinetic energy stemming from a veritable hammer blow of concussive shock and overpressure. Of particular note, the discharge can “leap” from one target to another, giving the potential for chain effects.
  • Utility and Safety Systems
STRENGTHS
  • All Environment: The FAE/SW-17 is capable of firing in virtually all environments, including underwater and within dense mediums.
  • Opposing Charge: On both of its energy modes, the FAE/SW-17 has the potential to inflict devastating effects on energy shields by overloading and super-ionizing them. In this, the weapon is quite notable for its extreme efficacy against shielded targets.
  • Extreme Power: As a Class-D disruptor, the FAE/SW-17 sits in the apex category of disruptor weaponry, generating such extreme nonharmonic energy pulses that it has the potential to inflict atomic annihilation on organic and inorganic matter. Thus, the SW-17 quite convincingly manifests extreme overkill potential when utilized against small craft, corvettes, and vehicles, while also being capable of dealing significant damage to capital ships with repeated fire.
WEAKNESSES
  • Technological Corruption: Like any piece of technology, the FAE/SW-17 is susceptible to mechu-deru and other technology-corrupting powers. If left unprotected, a practitioner of such esoteric sorceries could induce a jam or some other failure that might compromise the weapon entirely or demand precious time to fix, leaving the user vulnerable.
  • Chain Reaction: In the event that the weapon sustains damage to the power unit or the Ethaerium gas cell, a fantastic explosion may ensue that has a very high chance of outright crippling the host vehicle. While the FAE/SW-17 has safety systems that work to prevent total annihilation from such an event, in the heat of battle, even these measures can fail.
  • Crew Service: If utilized as a crew-served weapon, it can take time for the weapon to be prepared for firing. If the HAPU Power unit is "cold" it can take up to five minutes for the weapon to be ready to fire, though this represents the highest extreme.
  • Mechanical Mutation: Like any piece of technology, the FAE/SW-17 is susceptible to mechu-deru and other technology-corrupting powers. If left unprotected, a practitioner of such esoteric sorceries could induce an overload or some other failure which might compromise the weapon entirely or demand precious time to purge, leaving the user vulnerable.
DESCRIPTION
The FAE/SW-17 Transcendent Disruptor Cannon is a modernized disruptor cannon, taking design elements from the older FAE/SW-05 “Mayari” Transcendent Disruptor. The SW-17 model notably features upgraded targeting systems, an energy module system, and a more streamlined design. With its two energy modules the weapon has additional versatility. The default hyper-ionized Class-D disruptor mode deals damage through nonharmonic thermal energy, kinetic energy, and ionization energy effects, while the Class-D plasma disruptor mode manifests electrical energy, nonharmonic thermal energy, and kinetic energy primary effects.

Like all First United Astral Engineering cannon designs, the SW-17 is highly modular. The weapon can be fitted with supplementary equipment and its electronics linked to various onboard systems. It can be placed in turrets of up to ten identical weapons—dectuple cannon batteries. In addition, various systems can be stripped as needed or desired.

For ammunition, the SW-17 makes use of First United Astral Engineering’s new cartridges, which include gas, power, and coolant in a single small package.

All in all, the FAE/SW-17 Transcendent Disruptor Cannon is hoped to provide an ultra-lethal armament option for exclusive and elite users who need extreme firepower in a standard-sized package.

    • Capable of targeting weak points and specific vital points / structures in enemy units.
    • Capable of assessing enemy units to anticipate countermeasure deployment (i.e. taking different approach vectors to avoid point-defense fire, adjusting trajectories, etc.).
    • Loitering Capability
    • Flight Phases
      • Launch
        • The missile downloads a data packet from the launching vehicle which contains information on its designated target(s) and any other relevant factors, including friendly unit profiles and IFF signatures, targeting information, environmental conditions, target unit profile(s) (if available), and yet more. After this, it is launched directly from a launcher via its own engines or a launch assist system. It can also be “dropped” from the launcher by the host craft before firing its engines and setting off towards the target. During this stage, the missile acquires a target lock utilizing the launching vehicle’s sensors.
      • Middle Course
        • The missile initially uses data from the launching vehicle’s sensors and / or sensor data from other missiles. If launched in a group, one missile out of the group may be designated to turn on its own sensors, while the other missiles draw on sensor data from the launch vehicle and the sensors-active missile. During this stage, the data link gives the missile constant updates as conditions in the battlespace change. In addition, the missile will also utilize this stage to analyze the target’s countermeasures, point-defenses, and other anti-missile systems, during which the missile will prepare to engage (or engage) appropriate measures to defeat them. This stage may also see the missile fall back to radiation homing protocols in the incredibly unlikely, yet possible event that it loses its original target due to electromagnetic interference.
      • Terminal
        • During this stage, the missile accelerates to maximum Gs as it hones in on the target. It may also engage maneuvers to evade point-defenses, resist countermeasures, and ultimately ensure its integrity prior to reaching the target. This stage sees the missile turn on its own sensors, cross-referencing sensor data from the launch vehicle, other friendly missiles, and its own sensors to ensure full target verification.
    • Cooperative Engagement Data Link
      • Missiles can maintain a data link with the launch platform or any other allied unit via the communications matrix, allowing them to receive and transmit targeting and sensor data mid-flight. This function may also be used to give the missile instructions post-launch.
      • FAE/S-13 Unified Engagement Network
    • Swarm Intelligence
      • Missiles are capable of communicating and coordinating with each other when launched.
    • Proportional Pursuit
      • Typically tracks target vector, rather than target itself.
    • Hot and Cold Launch Capability
      • Delayed Activation Functionality
        • If used in a fighter or flying vehicle, the missile’s engine and targeting systems can delay activation after the missile is dropped by the host craft, in order to conceal the exact location of the launching vehicle.
    • Proximity Detonation - Alternate Contact / Impact Detonation Setting
      • Prior to detonation, the system cross-references data across all sensors on the missile. This ensures that the missile can not be tricked into prematurely detonating by gravity fluctuations or other anomalies.
    • All-Aspect Capability
    • Alternate Remote Control Guidance Modes
      • Command Guidance, including but not limited to:
        • MCLOS
        • LOSBR
        • Coordinate Guidance
          • Missile is fed a specific set of geographic or space coordinates and guides itself to target.
    • Anti-Telekinetic / Tractor Pressor / Tractor Redirect Detonation Protocol
      • Upon registering an foreign influence shifting its course, the missile will explode if it can not otherwise escape from the influence or correct its trajectory, provided it is a safe distance away from friendly units or civilians (if programmed).
  • Stealth Systems
STRENGTHS
  • Expedited Delivery: Much like a proton torpedo, the universal missile is rated for accelerations over 10,000 G. Missiles from size S1 to S4 can make a 90-degree turn within a turning radius of less than a meter. Accordingly, it goes without saying that the universal missile is very fast and agile, potentially leaving targets very little time to put countermeasures into play.
  • Smart Missiles: Equipped with Brilliant tracking protocols, advanced artificial intelligence, and a full suite of sensors, the missiles are capable of tracking targets with such creativity, persistence, and intelligence that they could be considered semi-sentient. They are capable of reaching targets behind cover or obstructions. In addition, they have a limited, conditional ability to evade defensive fire by taking swerving, erratic trajectories towards their target. The missiles are also extremely aggressive and are able to reacquire their marks, even in the event they overshoot their target or otherwise miss their initial pass.
  • Warhead on Forehead: The energy-reflective nature of ultrachrome gives the missile a rather high chance of passing through energy shields, potentially allowing the warhead to inflict more damage directly on target.
  • Spectrum Lock: The missiles utilize a multi-spectrum target locking system, meaning that sensor data is cross-referenced in ongoing fashion. If one sensor or receptor type is blinded or confused by the deployment of countermeasures, the artificial intelligence can cross-reference to verify and restore the integrity of its sensor picture.
  • Armored Predator: The missile projects an energy envelope around itself when in flight which functions as a deflector shield, providing the warhead with good protection against point-defense fire, while also augmenting their aerodynamic performance. A laser-reflective exterior plating provides extra defense, in the event that the shield fails. Organoform circuitry, combat de-ionizers, and spare capacitors provide the missile a measure of redundancy to help it withstand EMP/Ion discharges and electrical/technology-draining effects. Finally, owing to a comprehensive data and information security suite, a dedicated ECCM system, a semi-sentient droid brain, and the offensive retention system, the missiles are incredibly resistant to ECM, electromagnetic bursts, slicing attempts, and many forms of electronic warfare which rely on tricking, deceiving, hacking, or even outright deactivating their systems.
  • Phantom Blade: Augmented with stealth systems, the FAE/WH-05 missile line not only relies on pure defensive measures, but also its ultra-stealthy characteristics to evade detection from probing sensors and scanners. The missiles are designed to go unnoticed, potentially avoiding point-defense fire and countermeasures by avoiding detection.
  • Ghost Buster: Just as the missiles themselves are stealthy, they are in turn able to track and hunt down stealth targets through the “Bloodhound” magnetic targeting sensor.
  • Ghost Sight: Virtually all of the missile’s sensors are enhanced by ghostwaves, low feedback technologies, and low-probability-of-intercept measures. These systems make the emitted sensor waves harder to trace and detect. While this does not conceal the missile by itself, it makes it considerably more difficult for sensor warning receivers, EM sensors, counterdetectives, and similar systems to register when sensor or scanning pulses are being used. As a result, targeted units generally have to commit to utilizing active scanners in order to detect the missile.
WEAKNESSES
  • Double Blade: Since it goes without saying that missiles explode, a penetrating shot to the missile magazines of a host unit might very well have catastrophic effects, especially since the energy envelope projectors do not activate until the missiles are launched.
  • Technological Corruption: Left unprotected, the missiles are susceptible to mechu-deru and other technology-twisting powers. A talented practitioner of such esoteric sorceries could induce a premature explosion or some other mechanical failure that might compromise the warhead entirely or demand precious time to reboot, leaving the operator vulnerable.
  • Warhead Types: The explosive/warhead type can easily be switched from one missile to another by trained technicians while the missile is in storage (provided the missiles are the same size class), but this can not be done while the missile is loaded into a magazine. In essence, once the missile is loaded into a launch cell, turret, or other launch platform its explosive type can not be changed unless it is removed.
  • Commspromised: In the event that the missile’s communications are by some means disabled or compromised, it will not be able to maintain or open a data link with the launching platform or any other unit in the network. In such a case, the missile will be forced to rely solely on its own sensors or the information from the initial data packet it received during the launch phase.
  • Wrong Address: As radiation homing is by nature imprecise, Should the missile lose track of its designated target due to electromagnetic interference, its radiation homing protocols will activate to drive the missile towards the strongest source of enemy jamming within the proximity. However, as radiation homing is by nature imprecise, this fallback measure will not always result in the missile homing in on the correct target, as the interference could have originated from another unit entirely.
DESCRIPTION
Taking after the FAE/WH-04 Universal Missile Platform, the FAE/WH-05 Universal Stealth Missile Platform are a family of scalable, universal long range missiles that are designed to be deployed across a wide range of infantry, droid, vehicle, starship, turret, emplacement, and drone host units. Designed to accommodate modular warheads, a missile’s payload can be swapped depending on the mission requirements and expected target profiles. The WH-05 line comes with additional stealth capability, allowing the missiles to remain wholly unseen to their targets. In this, the missiles can evade point-defenses and countermeasures by simply not being detected in the first place.

The FAE/WH-05 family of missiles has seven different sizes. FAE/WH-05-S1 missiles are the smallest size available and are designed to fit in most whistling bird launchers. These are designed to engage infantry and are generally effective against man-sized targets. The FAE/WH-05-S2 is the next largest size and is designed to scale with wrist rockets. This class is designed to engage infantry and most light vehicles.

From here, the FAE/WH-05-S3, FAE/WH-05-S4, and FAE/WH-05-S5 are considered to be intermediate classes. The FAE/WH-05-S3 is designated as a light missile. As such, it scales with missiles launched from man-portable shoulder-fired MANPADs or missile launchers. However, this class also sees frequent use on vehicles and fighters as a lighter missile option. Accordingly, these missiles are designed to engage vehicles and starfighters, with some additional utility if deployed against exterior equipment on capital ships. The S3 missile has a damage potential roughly equivalent to a single medium turbolaser blast. Arguably the most conventional (and versatile class), the FAE/WH-05-S4 is the next largest size. This class mirrors the S3’s capabilities, albeit with more firepower and a longer range. The S4 missile has a damage potential that is roughly equivalent to a single heavy turbolaser blast. Finally, the FAE/WH-05-S5 is the largest intermediate class. The S5 class scales with light capital-grade missiles, but can also be carried by large vehicle and small craft platforms. In this regard, the S5 is suitable to engage some smaller capital ships, such as corvettes and frigates.

Finally, the two largest classes are the FAE/WH-05-S6 and the S7, both of which are too large to be used in craft or vehicles smaller than 50 meters at the largest dimension. The former size fits into typical capital-grade assault missiles (scaling to assault concussion missiles in size). Accordingly, the S6 is optimized for full-scale anti-capital ship duty. The S7 ramps this up even further, being classified as a super-heavy warhead. Accordingly, the S7 class manifests battlecruiser and even dreadnought-level firepower, capable of engaging and potentially, destroying these ship classes.

Ultimately, the FAE/WH-05 is hoped to represent the most exclusive and advanced of First United Astral Engineering’s missile program, providing a missile system that is stealthy and resilient, able to successfully engage targets undetected even under conditions of extreme electromagnetic activity.
