Description:
White and purple, sleek design, fast moving and tough little ships if you do score a hit. They are not as fast as starfighters, but quicker than anything else you'll see, able to move inbetween capital ships doing daring runs with their side thrusters. In a group they would be very dangerous given their speed, but solo not much of a threat. At the same time they are vulnerable to waves of fighters or sustained fighting given their smaller size.
As house Keth is making a name for itself in the war against the Sith, its assets and backing from Thyrsians seeking a war with their age old enemies, have grown.
Strengths:
Fast for its size
Well Armored (Double Insulation)
Using side thrusters, can perform turns, while keeping the main direction of the craft going forward.
Weaknesses:
Almost all Forward Firing Weapons
Not much of a threat on its own, too big against a squadron of starfighters, too small against capital ships.
