- Heavy Engines and Thrusters to have the edge on any starfighter, Interceptor, or bomber that they face.
- Cannot be cloaked while firing. Due to the immense power consumption from the Cloaking device.
- Carrier Dependent. The ship does not have a hyperdrive and must be in a hanger or attached to go into Hyperspace.
- Low Supply. The Heavy Ion Torpedo Launchers have a very limited supply which requires resupply in drawn out battles.
- Most of the weaponry is Ion Charged which causes less physical damage on impact.
Bane built each and every one of his Star Vipers himself. It was important to go the route of Ion Charged firepower as most pirate fighters in this day and age have many electronic dependent systems such as cloaking devices and engines that make them move quickly. The ion cannons, if not able to disable the enemy craft, will quickly cause electronic damage and even failure, causing system problems if not failure. The Vipers were also equipped with Heavy Ion Torpedoes to assist with larger ships as well. The Engines and Thrusters were a key item to have as they needed to out navigate some very slippery foes in the pirate starfighter community. The only problem with most of the advanced systems and weaponry aboard, is that it makes the Viper a very dependent ship as it needs re-supply and hyperspace assistance as it does not carry its own Hyperdrive.
