Description:The Harrier is the modern day descendant of the ancient naval tradition of system patrol vessels Utilitarian to a T, the Harrier is often the first ship a republic Pilot may find themselves flying, as it generally not uses for heavy combat, and is often utilized more as a militery detterent and anti piracy craft, and is often also seen in Law Enforcement service do to it's nimble nature. It's main drawback is it's lack of a hyperdrive, the ship itself is used exclusived as a station or carrier docked ship, however it is easily and quickly turned from stanby to active duty and is rapidly able to respond to threats. Though it's armament is light, it's speed is above average for a starfighter. Over all it's efficacy in combat is far more tied to the skill of the pilot than usual, featuring only a limited targetting computer and very few additional modules, meant simply to be a fast response craft to monitor dangerous situations and intervene if necessary, untill heavier ordannce and ships can arrive on point to assist. The ship features an advanced communication system allowing the pilot to more easily contact and receive support and guidance from superior officers or command, as well as easier transmit information on a situation to en-route ships. To further with this task, it features a direct observation feed fed to a central hub on it's home station or ship, allowing tactical officers there to easier cross refference and strategize.
