Strengths:
- Computerized Targeting Ability - The turrets can be fired by a computer system, as opposed to pilot, but are also able to be manually fired
- Experimental Radar Jammer - As this ship is designed for Coren's own apprentice, he is willing to take certain liberties to her vessel and has installed a system that will muck up enemy scanners around the Mirage
- Additionally, the Mirage boasts an offensive electronic warfare and countermeasure system that can be utilized to break firewalls of navigation buoys and enemy ship computer systems. This allows for a beginner slicer to work like an intermediate, and so on.
Weaknesses:
- Advanced Systems - With advanced computing power used for the turrets and the radar jammer system, the Mirage is prey to power fluctuations which may knock out the ship's shields.
- Not a forward combat vessel - With a light loadout for weaponry and armoring, the Mirage is designed to be a Jedi's home away from home, as opposed to a forward assault vessel, and the Mirage will not do well in long term combat.
- When used for slicing, the ship needs to be directly interfaced with the enemy vessel, meaning it needs to be docked. Additionally, the ship's weapon systems will be powered down, and its own firewall needs to be turned off, resulting in leaving the ship open to a variety of cyber and physical attacks.
Description:
The Mirage is the latest modification of a starship from Coren Starchaser for people under his care. The vessel is pretty standard for a VCX-100 as he is still learning the needs and desires of his apprentice. However, as she is a Jedi Marshal within the new Jedi Order, the Mirage has had part of her cargo hold converted into a meditation/sparring chamber. Systems were personally replaced by preferred systems by Coren Starchaser, and the vessel had undergone a rigorous stress test before being gifted to his apprentice.
Among standard systems, the vessel has been given a system for automating turrets very similar to a vessel he had helped modify for a battlemaster within the New Jedi Order. Beyond this, a radar jamming system was also installed. This system, when active, will scramble the enemy scanners to a particular degree, at minimum changing the Mirage to display as a starfighter, but at maximum causing a serious fluctuation in the radar image at the location of the ship.
