STRENGTHS

• Firepower: With a few modifications made by Valery and its original design, one strength of the old fighter is still its ability to take down other ships.
• Surprise: The ship is ancient, so very few will likely expect it to stand up against anything. But with modifications made and good maintenance, it can be quite a surprise to face off against.

WEAKNESSES

• Old Republic: Despite its modifications, it's still an older ship so it relies a lot more on pilot skill. Newer ships with good pilots will have an advantage over this fighter.
• Unique: There are very few ships of its design still around, so replacement parts are rare and often require custom-built pieces, which take longer to produce and cost a lot more.

DESCRIPTION
After receiving a vision about her mother's past, Vera Noble talked her father Kahlil Noble into bringing her along to an auction on Sleheyron, where the old Starfighter that belonged to Valery was being sold. In the days of the Old Republic, before her time in stasis, Valery had used the fighter in countless battles against the Sith Empire. But after waking up from stasis thousands of years later, Valery never believed it to be possible that it had survived.

Together with her father, Vera located the ship and after facing off against some unexpected trouble from a crime lord wanting to acquire the fighter, Kahlil and Vera returned home to surprise Valery with something from her past. Along the way, however, they discovered an old message stored within the data banks of the ship, recorded by Valery's mother, who had tried to track her down once news began to spread about her disappearance on Onderon.

The fighter paired with the message from the mother she had never truly been able to meet was an overwhelming surprise, and with just a bit of repairs and modifications, the Nobles made sure it was where it belonged.
