The Ragnos-class Fighter/Interceptor was designed to supplement the Kainate's starfighter armada with a lighter and more versatile craft than the Siqsa, which was becoming more and more relegated as a heavy fighter. Designed in emulation of older Imperial and First Order designs, the Ragnos bore the profile of an interceptor but was outfitted with weaponry and shielding to more resemble a fighter.
In accordance with the Kainate's philosophy on naval strategy, the Ragnos was equipped with an advanced compact hyperdrive system supplied in secret by the Globex Corporation. This hyperdrive system allowed the Ragnos to move throughout the galaxy with relative ease, unmoored from capital ships and other carriers, and to perform complex maneuvers like microjumps and hyperspace skipping. A backup hyperdrive ensured that the fighter could still move about the galaxy, albeit without the provisions of more fanciful and esoteric maneuvers.
Aiding the pilot was a pair of independent control columns, which 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. The pilot also wore an Overseer-pattern Neurocrown, 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.
Rounding out the Ragnos' weapon complement were four wingtip-mounted FAE/SW-02 laser cannons courtesy of First United Astral Engineering, two chin-mounted laser cannons, four flechétte missile launchers, and two PDS-63 class active protection systems provided by Jaeger Solutions. This robust armament made the Ragnos a highly lethal starfighter, giving the pilot a wide variety of methods by which to destroy enemy starfighters. All of the Ragnos' energy-based weapons were powered by Amaranth Crystals, which magnified the energy generation by several degrees of magnitude.
The Ragnos was equipped with an energy shield that protected the craft from conventional energy, solar ionization energy, ionic energy, and physical particulates. The energy shield was simultaneously polarized to allow the Ragnos' laser cannons and missile launchers to bypass through the interior of the shield while keeping anything from bypassing the exterior of the shield.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the Ragnos was its Field Disruptor system. This system, when activated, allowed the Ragnos to physically bypass deflector shields of capital ships and planets to attack them directly. However, when the Field Disruptor system was activated it deactivated the Ragnos' shielding, rendering the craft vulnerable to enemy fire until deactivated. The Field Disruptor system also could not bypass non-conventional shieldings like molecular shields and xythan force shields.
Tidal Ion Engines propelled the Ragnos through the void of space, fine-tuned for exceptional and efficient energy output that pushed the fighter past what was considered normal speed without a great detraction in maneuverability. SubLight Acceleration Motors, also known as SLAM, allowed the fighter to entirely sacrifice maneuverability for extraordinary speed at the pilot's discretion. This sudden burst of speed was achieved by a brief injection of an extremely small amount of coaxium directly into the ion engine's fuel system.
