Following behind the production of the Amycus superiority starfighter, the joint efforts of the Republic Engineering Corporation and their Thyrsian Enclave produced yet another peculiar design to add to the Golden Company’s - and later the Thyrsian Hierarchy’s - arsenal of spacecraft. With this being the second Thyrsian-based starfighter to roll into active service, the Daedalion was built on the same frame as its predecessor. This design choice was meant to not only cut costs when rolled into production but offer a degree of familiarity to any Thyrsian pilots - despite the different internalized systems. As an added side effect, it would be difficult for enemy vessels to distinguish between the Amycus, Haemon and the Daedalion until their specialized systems were deployed in combat.
The Daedalion’s primary armament consisted of a modular bomblet generator that allowed the vessel to generate a theoretically unlimited number of bombs for the command crew’s use in combat. As it was directly tied into the assault starfighter’s reactor module, the weapon system would siphon power from the myriad reserve banks and funnel them into a slow-moving cloud of energy that was deposited through the integrated bomb chutes. These potent weapons would explode on contact with their targets, be they friendly or hostile, as they were unguided and cared little for who was on what side. Their only purpose in life was to destroy anything that stood in their way.
In addition to the power offered by the bomblet generator, the Daedalion was outfitted with a brace of solar ionization cannons. What they lacked in raw power, when compared to that of a starfighter-mounted laser cannon, they more than made up for their performance by bypassing conventional shielding. This permitted the Daedalion’s command crew to attack their targets, be they a fortified enemy position or a hostile capital ship, even if their projected shields were still active. However, this boon was only granted whilst fighting in the confines of a solar system and would be less effective, especially over time, if ever deployed in the darkness of space due to the lack of convertible radiation.
Thus, through the eventual deployment of the Daedalion, mighty Thyrsus and her Navy would return to prominence amongst the stars; sending the vile Echani to their rightfully earned graves.
