ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Predator: The StarViper is a balanced fighter built to hunt both enemy strike craft and capital ships. It comes equipped with fire-linked laser cannons, an underslung torpedo launcher with variable loadout, and robust deflector shield systems.
  • Turns on a Dime: Known for its high agility, powerful maneuvering jets are placed all along the starfighter's axis which allow it to rapidly reorient. This gives the StarViper superior performance in adapting to new circumstances and conducting evasive maneuvers.
WEAKNESSES
  • Inertial Overload: Firing the wrong jets at high speed can quickly overload the fighter's inertial dampening systems and cause the pilot to rapidly accumulate g-forces. Experienced flyers are required behind the stick or the starfighter will crush them to death.
DESCRIPTION

A joint project between SoroSuub and the independently operated MandalMotors corporation, StarViper Mk II's internals are based on the original MandalMotors designed but the starfighter has received a radical exterior overhaul and corresponding change in mission profile by sullustan engineers. Unaccustomed to ancient Mandalorian asymmetric designs, the sullustans took inspiration both from their popular Cutlass-10 and Drexl-class starfighters to adopt more of an arrowhead shape with less extraneous parts for superior maneuvering.

StarVipers are a popular sight in the Outer Rim, both SoroSuub and MandalMotors have few qualms about selling to independent defense forces and paramilitary organizations. Marketed for system patrol and defensive purposes, more than a few have fallen into the hands of black market syndicates and criminal cartels.
