STRENGTHS
- Overwhelming Firepower: While not as swarm like as its previous generation, it is still a deadly piece of technology with much more firepower than before and enhanced maneuverability.
- No SLAM/Scramjet Limit: Unlike previous generations, this SLAM is more perfect than the last one. It is almost close to full realization as it never overloads on this starfighter.
- No Hyperdrive: It must rely on carrier ships to move it around. If the carrier ship is destroyed or has retreated, the pilot is forced to fight to the end or surrender.
- No Ejection System: It must either survive a crash landing or hope it can stop the starfighter to get out of it manually when damaged. There is no pull out switch.
- Not a Capital Killer: It has barely any armaments to truly combat a Capital Ship, it is advised against.
The TIE/VA Starfighter, AKA the Vanguard, was one of Haon Hafeys most popular creations and still stands as a testament to the Zweihander Unions popularity for the starfighter. Desperately needing an update, it was updated with less room in mind but in return, giving it the firepower it desperately needed. Unlike the other that focused on Swarm Tactics, this starfighter focuses on the complete annihilation of other starfighters in quick succession, armed with eight laser cannons and a twin set of concussion missile launchers, it is considered much more deadly the previous versions only two starfighter cannons. In addition, it has been updated with the latest of Haon Hafeys prototypical SLAM technology, no longer overheating but in turn, taking the hyperdrives complete space to do it.
