STANDARD FEATURES
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Combined Firing System: A combination of two L.01x Precisiont Targeting Lazers, a L.TCA2.1 Targeting Computer, and T.E.C.M.I.S programming allows for an incredibly versatile gunnery system, giving Starcrest improved fire control.
- Angel Navis Operating System: As Kalic would end up joining the Navis Sacra Religion after being rescued by @ Grand Shepherd Burtch and @ Bishop Turner , the Starcrest's computers have be updated to an Angel Navis operating system.
- Nimble-7 Ion Propulsion System: Replacing the pair of Koensayr R200 Ion Jet Engines and thrust vectored P-s4 Twin Ion Engines, a set of four Nimble-7 engines have been mounted in fighter's engine casing. These engines allow the Starcrest to increase it's already impressive agility or speed, at the cost of being slower or less agile respectively.
- Gear Storage: The Starcrest has been modified with added storage after years of the gunner seat being a makeshift locker. There is a more serious locker in the left cockpit "cheek" for holding Kalic's usual cloths and PR-1 Ravager Heavy Particle Repeater. Inside, between the pilot and gunner seats, is an emergency storage with two SV-5 "Phanes" Class Survival kits, a DL-18, a fire extinguisher, and a tool kit.
STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES
Strengths _____________________________________ | Weaknesses _____________________________________ |
|---|
- Fast and Agile: Thanks to the Nimble-7 engines and previous work don't on Starcrest, the Y-Wing features an extremely surprising amount of speed and agility.
|
- Keeping Up: When the turret is unlocked, the speed and agility of the Starcrest can make it difficult for the turret to accurately track targets, as seen with other turreted fighters, even with the targeting system.
|
- Heavy Weapons: Starcrest packs a powerful armament of KX5s, and an L51 Trilaser cannon mounted on a turret that can be locked forward, allowing for additional punch in a dogfight. The fighter also has Flex Tube launchers, allowing for a variable payload. All with an advanced targeting system.
|
- Fragile Engines: While the main Nimble-7 engines are kept in the same engine casings as the old R200s, they're still more fragile, are more susceptible to damage.
|
- New Armor: During her repair and refit, the Starcrest was given an armor reworking. Reinforced Duraplast was added to protect the electronics, cockpit, and vitals of the ship, and a standard Empire-era style Y-Wing armor package was added over the hull.
|
- Confusing Itself: Thanks to the amount of independent fire there's a higher likelihood that the Starcrest will foul it's own lock thanks to sustained fire issued with the L.01x Precisiont Targeting Lazer.

DESCRIPTION
The workhorse of Kalic Daws for a long time, the
Starcrest is a battle hardened bird with a bit to match. After being heavily damaged by Hutts, Kalic and his injured bird were brought to
Damascus Station to be looked after. While Kalic was healing up, the
Starcrest was being looked over by the stations mechanics. During this time he'd be introduced to the
Nomadic Peoples Coalition and
Navis Sacra Religion, which he would take up during the time, and lead to some of the upgrades the
Starcrest would receive.
Having lost multiple systems entirely, the Y-Wing almost entirely overhauled. Her targeting systems were completely replace with two
L.01x Precisiont Targeting Lazers, a
L.TCA2.1 Targeting Computer, and
T.E.C.M.I.S programming to allow for better targeting and traking. And while the
Starcrest kept her KX5s and Flex Tubes, her turret would be replaced with a L51 trilaser cannon turret. Hull wise she would gain some reinforced Duraplast, and an older Y-Wing hull armor package. At the same time, with two of her engines completely destroyed, she would be give four Nimble-7s in the original placement, and would finally get some actual storage instead of just using the gunner seat. The biggest change in Kalic's mind though was the addition of a
Angel Navis Operating System, an show of where he saw his future going.
While the new modification have improved the fighter immensely, there are still drawbacks. Thanks to the ammount of weapons fire the
Starcrest can output, her L.01x's are somewhat prone to losing lock when the turret and main guns are used at the same time. Along with this is the fact that the turret's own tracking limits can struggle with the speed and agility the
Starcrest possesses. Along with this, her engines are more fragile now, and she's still a bit of a mechanics nightmare.
