Description: The Unxai-Class is an elite starfighter developed to individualize an unexplored area of space combat as a trademark of Emeritus' and Ri'ess Regal Drive's partnership. It is inspired by the old Jedi starfighter models of the Galactic Republic.
Rather than wield conventional arms, the Unxai is armed with two signature RRDI composite beams, two particle beams, two nano missile launchers and an ion encumbrance tagger. These weapons are divided into four firing groups, labeled Group A, Group B, Group F and Group Y; While A and B are the primary and secondary arms, F encompasses air-to-air munitions and Y is a niche group for the ion tags. Both A weapons are mounted to the inner sides of the nose, and rotate vertically to some degree in accordance with the predicted firing solutions of the targeting computer. Both B weapons are static mounted and exist on the outer ends of the wings. Each nano missile is roughly equivalent of a fifth the strength of a standard concussion warhead, but benefits from better tracking and maneuverability. The ion tags are launched via the forward underbelly of the craft, just below the cockpit.
Armament wasn't the only thing expanded when developing the Unxai. It is equipped with SLAM systems in its ion engines. While not particularly fast by default, activating SLAM near doubles their speed at the cost of diverting critical power away from the composite and particle cannons and a slight impact to overall maneuverability. A HoloNet transceiver was included in the base line in order to make data collection and transfer fast and efficient, and includes an analog master switch that will simply cut off all power from the transceiver in the event of a system compromise. Anti-Concussion Field Generators were replicated specifically for the Unxai, which were included as a base line advanced system and gives the kinetically-weak Adamithium armor a subtle layer of defense against blast damage.
The Unxai is difficult and expensive to make, and thus is limited in production numbers. Contracts may be available for bulk orders to major galactic agencies and governments.
