Description:
The BR-Predator is a fast moving and highly maneuverable starfighter, making it slightly difficult to hit while allowing it to easily track down enemy starfighters or molest capital size warships. They theory behind the engineering creation was to allow these fighters to do hit-and-run tactics on much larger ships, while allowing it to engage smaller ships like other starfighters in dog fighting situations.
However, outside their capacity to fire proton torpedoes their rapid-fire laser cannons have limited range (maximum range of six meters), which after that the lasers lose their gusto. Against ships of it's type it can hold it's own but against bigger warships they have to get close, putting the ship and the one pilot in harm's way; nearly countering it ability to avoid being slightly difficult to hit. The BR-Predator comes with a standard deflector shield, but against more powerful turrets/cannons the shield can be knocked down quickly.
More of a offensive fighter by design, it does possess the chaff system ability. This system allows it to gain a better defense against fighters that get behind it, but the system is only good against fighters. In the event it is fleeing from a warship and it unloads on the fighter, the pilot can activate the chaff system but it won't hamper or stop the more powerful turrets/cannons from them.
