Material: Titanium reinforced alusteel, glasteel etc.
Description:
The Quasar is the first Eldorai space bomber to be constructed. Like the Nova it was built in conjunction with Jorus Merrill’s Silk Holdings but with a distinctly Eldorai feel.

This ship is called a bomber, but straddles the line between starfighter and bomber, and is not comparable with the TIE bomber, but more like the Y-Wing. The Quasar is fast, but in order to be fast it significantly reduces its armour, weapons and warhead capacity.

The whole purpose and reason for this is that the enemies the Eldorai usually face are small scale raiders, pirates and other light enemies. Thus, a lighter attack craft with the ability to catch and damage frigates and corvettes is preferred to something which could engage larger ships more securely.

The prime weakness of all this is that the Quasar is fast but vulnerable and lacks the punch to seriously hurt cruisers and above.

One final technological issue; even now the Eldorai ships have weaker hyperdrives compared with other galactic powers. Usually these ships are stored in carriers for deployment rather than travelling to battle themselves.

Okay, I'm willing to approve this, you're taking significant penalties in order to bump up the speed a rating, only thing is that the bit after your hyperdrive rating (about the Eldorai drives and carriers) should be in the description as well. Write that in up there and this'll be good to go. Very solid sub.
