Description: The X-01 Octarch was designed by Locke and Key mechanics on the request of Voph as a baseline fighter for the Octarchy Covenant. The backbone of the Covenant fleet, the Octarch fighter was designed as a long-range strike fighter and nothing else. Crewed by a single pilot and an Astromech Droid, the ship is fairly reminiscent of the starfighters of old, like the X-wing. Sporting twin laser cannons and a single Proton Torpedo pylon, the Octarch can fill multiple roles in a battle, but is primarily used as anti-fighter to support the Interceptor roles. Owing to its increased defenses over the interceptor, the Octarch is used for fighter strikes and bomber escort into enemy territory.
