Description: The SU-34 'Kimogila' was originally planned as a response to heavier pirate threats resulting in the territorial decline of the ACA during the Netherworld events. Most of its implementations including advanced shield generation and missile launchers were removed and instead the starship was fitted with outdated laser cannons left behind in more militant days, although at first glance this starship might seem strikingly powerful it's by no means special in comparison to many designs used by The Republic or Sith factions and its slow construction times mean only a limited number of these vessels will be produced in comparison. Thus the Kimogila is more suited as a personal starfighter or escort in paramilitary roles. Without warheads the Kimogila is further seen as less advantageous atop its slower than average speeds. The largest drawback however is that its slower speeds coupled with its fixed weapons mean the Kimogila is unsuited for dogfighting and thus must rely mainly on its show of arms for intimidation rather than any practical use against enemy fighters.
Despite its lack of advanced technology, limited weaponry, and slow speeds the Kimogila does make up for this by being a heavy-gunned armoured starship that's sure to make pirates think twice about robbing a trade ship.
