Intent: To create an upgrade that allows the Narra to operate as a Starfighter while equipped with the add-ons
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Tenloss Corporation, Kuat Drive Yards
Affiliation: Affiliation: Galactic Republic, Open Market
Modularity: This submission is a modular package.
Production: Mass
Material: Durasteel, Alusteel, and other starfighter upgrade parts and materials
Description:
Taking a new approach on starship design, the Republic opted to cut costs on making brand new starfighters and, instead, opted to try for a modular approach. The Starfighter Upgrade Package, or S.T.U.P., was designed solely for the Narra-class Interceptor to upgrade the craft to the capabilities, armor, and weapon loadouts of a starfighter.
The package consists of a series of armor plates, weapons and weapon mountings, and electrical systems for the Narra. The armor is simple durasteel plating that is bolted onto the chassis overtop the original starfighter's hull and is designed to hold up to more substantial damage in combat. Also, a pair of warhead launcher tubes with attached magazines (each holding 4 warheads) come with the package, allowing the pair of launcher tubes to be bolted to and equipped on the Narra's ventral surface. This gives the Narra the ability to engage enemy targets with both its standard two repeating lasers as well as any warheads it carries from the two launchers. The upgrade kit also includes the electronics, computer updates, and extra parts/mountings needed to fully integrate the upgrade package with the Narra. The package can be installed with minimal hangar crew in a few hours, while a full crew can install the upgrades in about an hour or two.
The downside of the upgrade package is that it puts more mass on the starfighter, which slows the interceptor-turned-starfighter to a speed category of 2.
