Developed in secret at Malsheem, the Sion-class Heavy Starfighter was the culmination of the Sith Empire's research into starfighters and was outfitted with state-of-the-art weaponry hooked up to Amaranth Crystal generators, higher-efficiency ion engines, and relatively robust deflector shields; thought the lateral shielding was noticeably weaker.
The Sion required two individuals to operate at peak efficiency; a pilot and a rear-gunner. The pilot operated the craft and the forward-facing weapons while the rear-gunner operated the dual heavy laser turret, and although the pilot had the ability to fire all weapons it was generally considered that the rear turret was ideally controlled by the rear-gunner alone. Armed to the teeth, the Sion's weapon complement consisted of two medium laser cannons mounted at the ends of the lateral wings, a heavy laser cannon mounted at the base of the fuselage, a dual heavy laser turret situated behind the pilot's cockpit, and eighteen weapon hardpoints built into the fuselage.

Both occupants wore Overseer-pattern Neurocrowns, effectively melding their minds with the machine when in use. This allowed both pilot and gunner to work seamlessly with each other and with the fighter, acting almost as if they were one entity. The starfighter's yoke also consisted of two independent control columns with levered handgrips. These columns 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. This coupled with the advanced neurocrown created an even stronger bond between pilot and machine.

The Sion 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 Sion's 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 Sion was its Field Disruptor system. This system, when activated, allowed the Sion 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 Sion's 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 Sion through the void of space, fine-tuned for exceptional and efficient energy output that allowed the heavy fighter to move at speed comparable with smaller fighters 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.
