Designed and built-in direct defiance of the Almera Accords, the “Haemon” was the first Starfighter Interceptor crafted by Thyrsian hands since their homeworld’s Military was forcibly dismantled by the Echani. As the Amycus and Daedalion patterns had fulfilled their respective roles as a Superiority fighter and an Assault Bomber - there was a significant gap in the Golden Company’s battlefield roles. Thus, in collaboration with the technicians at the Republic Engineering Corporation, the Thyrsian Enclave was able to develop a capable Interceptor to deploy alongside their other fighters and prove themselves as masters of void warfare. The overall aesthetic design was eerily similar to the other Starfighters currently in service to the outfit of Sun Guards, which allowed the mercenaries a sense of anonymity when deployed against new, or unprepared foes. Knowledge was power, after all, and in denying such a boon to enemy pilots would mean more enemy causalities and a greater take - after the job was finished.
Unlike the Amycus or the Daedalion, the Haemon’s primary focus was on attaining a considerably higher speed factor - so that it was able to outpace its various counterparts and carry out its duties accordingly. This increased factor meant that much of the Starfighter’s internal and external hardpoints were devoted to maneuvering thrusters and fusial drive units; so that the vessel was capable of intercepting enemy fighters or hostile munitions, long before they reached their intended destinations. However, with this increased speed factor, there came an interesting choice in regards to the placement of the Haemon’s primary weapons. Similar to how the TIE series kept their laser cannons tight when mounted beneath the cockpit, the Interceptor follows that storied pattern - as that meant there was little chance of the vessel’s shots going wide and missing their intended targets. Something that was seen time and again during galactic history.
While the Amycus and Daedalion have an external turret that acts like a miniaturized, active-interception array - the Haemon comes outfitted with two such turrets, but are instead mounted internally and on at the aft-section of the starfighter. This design choice allowed for the Interceptor to carry out its duties with an extreme level of effectiveness; since both turrets could independently track two targets and work to destroy them. As an added bonus, these turrets would be capable of counteracting the implemented flaw of the primary fixed weapons, since these retractable turrets were capable of shooting down almost every targeted projectile that was within sight.
Therefore, through a combination of arcane technologies and modern advances, the Haemon would prove to be a deadly addition to the burgeoning Thyrsian war machine.
