STRENGTHS

• Powerful: Heavily armoured, well defended and armed with a variety of weapons, the Basilisk is a deadly beast in any battlefield.
• Flight: With an enclosed cockpit and sealed fighting compartment, the Basilisk is capable of ‘collapsing’ into a starfighter capable of sublight and hyperspace flight.
• Brain: With its own brain and AI, the Basilisk is capable of operating independently from its owner if needed.
• Drill: Armed with dedicated generator rods for partial drilling, or the ability to channel its power into its cannons for full power, the Basilisk is capable of projecting a devastating beam that can slice through capital ships and terrain. Fitted with immensely powerful, magnetic claws and feet capable of splitting for a larger grip area for increased stability.

WEAKNESSES

• Attacker: Meant to lay waste to cities and heavy targets, the Basilisk could suffer in a traditional dogfight when compared to more traditional starfighters.
• Volatile: The reactor and materials used in the many powerful and expensive systems on it are susceptible to damage. Too much loss of structural integrity can cause it to go up in a very disconcerting explosion.
• Vulnerable: When diverting power to its cannons for drilling, it loses all other systems except systems crucial for the pilot and machine's survival. Flight, other weapons, and other systems are all disabled to produce enough power to sustain the constant drill beam.
• Squadrons: Along with its sluggish maneuverability, the Basilisk is designed to fill the role of a bomber and strike aircraft. Due to this, its squadron count is much lower than other starfighters.

DESCRIPTION
A personal gift given to Romul Saxon by Yuri Maji. After helping Yuri to vouch for the legitimacy of his clan, the Hound designed a unique model of the Mangonel with custom tusks integrated into the nose of the War Droid.

While primarily for show, the tusks are more than capable to be used as weapons by the Basilisk. It is for this recognizable addition that the machine earned its name. The personality matrix was also reset, allowing Romul to form a proper bond with his Basilisk as well as have it develop a unique personality on its own.
