[SIZE=9pt]Versatile Armament: While most starfighters limit themselves to energy weaponry and missiles, the SJ-ADF is equipped to handle a variety of threats. In addition to a pair of laser cannons and two concussion missile launchers, the SJ-ADF carries a pair of ion cannons and, in a retractable bay on the ventral side, an electrothermal mass-driver cannon. It can take on not only other fighters but also larger ships in numbers, and to aid in filling a patrol role, the ion cannons work to disable craft rather than outright destroy them.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Faraday Cage: EMP attacks are always a major threat to droids and fighters both, and with its mesh network and ECM suite vulnerable, the SJ-ADF was equipped with countermeasures to prevent an EMP from knocking out its systems and leaving the fighter unable to respond to threats, providing it with an advantage against droid-prepared enemies.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]SLAM: In order to enact a hit and run method against larger ships, or help the SJ-ADF to catch up to craft that they’re tracking while on patrols, a SLAM system is installed, giving it the ability to temporarily boost its sublight engine speed to fit the user’s needs.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]EB-S Brain: Utilizing a dual-programming brain the SJ-ADF is allowed much more processing power than a typical droid fighter. This manifests in excellent maneuverability, spatial awareness, tracking, and enemy flight plan prediction.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Ion Weaponry: While it’s protected from EMP, the SJ-ADF is vulnerable like all fighters to ion weaponry, with the attacks being capable of overloading its shields or knocking the fighter itself out of commission.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Projectiles: Projectiles fired from mass drivers, as well as missiles and torpedoes, are more than capable of causing significant damage to the fighter, as unlike laser cannon fire they can punch through the shields and cause physical damage.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Mass Driver Ammunition Limit: A natural weakness of projectile weaponry, the electrothermal cannon equipped to the SJ-ADF can carry only 500 rounds due to the ship’s size, leaving it unable to reload once the supply is spent until it’s able to return to its launching point and resupply.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]SLAM Power Requirements: To activate the SLAM system, the SJ-ADF needs to draw power away from its weapons systems. While it’s active the SJ-ADF cannot fire its weapons, leaving it vulnerable if in the path of enemies returning fire.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]When approached to design a droid fighter for the SJO, the EODD design team utilized a classic style in the old Republic V-Wing, creating the SJ-ADF. Small and aerodynamic, it excels not only in space combat, but also atmospheric conditions, managing higher than average speeds and dynamic maneuverability thanks to its lack of need for a pilot. S-foils operate to disperse excess heat built up by the strain put on the fighter’s engines in combat, as well as provide stability during atmospheric flight. In addition, a 4x-Phantom tactical jammer is included on each unit, further improving its short-range combat abilities by working against enemy sensors, preventing them from spotting the unit until it’s too late.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Some special features are included on the SJ-ADF specifically relating to its construction as a droid unit. A “Hydra” mesh network connects each unit to each other as well as their host ship, allowing for continued communications and coordination even when enemy jammers are in use. A SLAM drive is also equipped, allowing for the fighter’s already considerable speed to be boosted temporarily when needed, though at the cost of power towards weapons while the drive is in use. In addition, while the typical weakness of droid units is an EMP attack, each unit is well shielded from these, leaving them weak primarily to ion and projectile attacks.[/SIZE]
