Description:
The ShortFin is a ship created as a prototype shuttle and courier vessel for Coren Starchaser. Designed to replace his former strike craft, the Tiburon and to not overlap his primary vessel the Tachyon Rising. ShortFin is designed with as a strike-and-support vessel. Boasting a handsome weapon compliment of two triple blasters, two composite-beam cannons and two flextube warhead launchers, she can be outfitted for several different mission parameters. Still, the weapons offerings do not make her a fully combat functional vessel, as she suffers from being constructed with light armor and weaker shields than an average vessel.
Speed and stealth are what keeps the ShortFin alive. Constructed using the same hull covering as the StealthX, ShortFin has a very slim radar profile when she is not engaged in active combat or using her SLAM engines. The ship uses low-profile TibannaX engines created by Mara TibX and Fuel, which burn very fast with minimal ion exhaust, however the SLAM system does not utilize this fuel and burns standard fuel, which provides the speed needed to evade enemies, but counters the radar profile.
Several special systems have been installed in this vessel, including a Calrissian Hyperdrive and a programmable IFF transponder to allow Coren to disguise the ship as having a point of origin from all around the galaxy. This system can store up to 6 false transponders that can be readily switched within an hour of downtime (Hyperspace, hiding in asteroids, out of contact) and rewritten given substantial time (between engagements) These systems allow the vessel a very high tech and specialized approach to her missions and cause her to be used in very select teams, or mostly, on solo ventures. With comfortable housingfor a team of 5, and uncomfortable housing for a team of 10 and mule-train conditions for up to 25 passengers, the ShortFin is a very mission focused craft.
The vessel can be piloted decently by most, but when Coren is using both the Force and the Liberation Module by iBorg (iBorg for all your transhuman needs), piloting becomes something near a work of art as the ship was built around Coren’s preferences for combat, and its controls are the Frankenstein of a CEC YT-2000, Silk Rassilon and Santhe TIE Exalt controls. On top of these controls, the ship houses Lexi, a next generation simulated intelligence. Among other functions, the system can learn to accommodate Coren’s preferences, however is not a self-aware artificial intelligence. Primarily, she monitors ship systems, assists with automated repairs, advises on other repairs, assists with prioritizing targets as well as navigation and keeping Coren up to date on variety of public access data, as well as tracking ship movements that register when they enter systems.
Additionally, if Coren flies this ship through urban areas, he may get pulled over because the sound system is just that awesome.

Intent: To provide a strike ship for Coren Starchaser to replace the loss of the Tiburon that harkens back to his days in Imperial service. This vessel will provide a faster ship than his primary vessel the Tachyon Rising while working as a strike-and-fade attack craft
Who Can Use This: Coren Starchaser, allies
