DESCRIPTION
A first foray into shipbuilding for ORR, the Outback is designed for and marketed to settlers and system defense forces in the Outer Rim as an inexpensive and rugged option. The fighter is balanced between offence, defense, and speed, allowing it to fit a wide range of combat situations while acting as a master of none, and is fitted with a standard, yet flexible armament allowing it to fit multiple rolls depending on its ordnance load out.

Inspiration was taken from the earlier ‘65 and ‘70 x-wings carrying over many of their standard systems and weapons with a few notable changes. Small actuators allow the Outback to refocus its laser convergence on the fly manually or by an automatic rangefinder lending some ease to targeting, and a full navigational computer was added rendering the fighter non-reliant on astromech droids. Despite this, the socket was left intact but with a removable cover for those wishing to still bring their robotic mechanic. Another addition was a SLAM drive allowing the fighter to move into position or relocate quickly. However it draws significant portions of power away from the lasers and halves the effectiveness of the shields so it’s not recommended to use it while engaged.

Care was given to ensure smooth operation in a wide range of environments from sandy deserts to frozen tundras with minimal adjustment. Repair and maintenance were also simplified as much as possible allowing for easy modification and part-swapping during a supply scarcity. Plainly put, ORR knew these would be used and abused and built them to last.

This is a lovely inspiration for an old starfighter. However before I go on approving this...a small word to the man who posted below your submission.

Okkeus Dainlei
You are not, I repeat, not allowed to post anything on a persons factory submission period unless you are yourself a factory judge or the original submitter of this post. That said, do not take this harshly but as a lesson to not do this again. This is a serious environment and commentary for someones submissions that you wish to buy, should be a sent personal message instead of being on a persons actual submission that every person will read from here on out for the rest of this submissions life cycle.

That said, Approved.
