STANDARD FEATURES
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Skywalker Piloting -
    • While most traditional Starfighters have the capability to outpace, out gun, or out maneuver other starfighters - the X-01 takes it all a step farther; requiring a Force Sensitive, Trained Jedi Ace to actually manage the ship without death. The speed at which it can maneuver while in combat, to the very strain put on the pilot during its exercise makes it a dangerous weapon against Sith; and even more of a dangerous tool against other Fighters in general.
  • Quick Response -
    • The X-01 is designed on the platform of the legendary X-Wing; and takes advantage of the alternative wing set up as a result. While closed, the ship is capable of speeding across battlefields in a terrifying display of engineering prowess, while open - it serves as one of the best air superiority flyers in the Core. Advanced servo motors ensure this transition is done seemlessly, with little downtime from 'travel' to 'combat'; letting those skilled enough pilots to use either while driving through battlefields.
WEAKNESSES
  • Force Sensitive -
    • While most starfighters are able to be piloted by anyone with the skill to do so, the X-01 was a specialized product built for a single type of pilot in mind; the one that can respond through the heightened nature of the Force, and could keep their body alive during the extreme maneuvers the ship was capable of. As a result, standard pilots are completely restricted from the use of the ship - lest they die from the strain of simply piloting it.
  • Glass Cannon -
    • Designed for extreme maneuverability at all times, the ship had to cut weight somewhere - and that inevitably became the armor and shielding of the ship. Using the proprietary Jaeger design for armor was well enough, but weight restrictions forced it to thin each layer to just enough to take a few heavy blaster rounds before failure; but the shields were another story. Taking off shields as a whole was the only option to maintain the severe maneuverability requirements; making the ship very susceptible to all forms of fire.
DESCRIPTION
A few short months after the foundation of the new Jedi Order, Jaeger Solutions was approached to design a starfighter for the reincarnation of the Jedi Aces. While initial concerns were presented to the board about taking a contract from The Jedi Order, Maliphant was outvoted in the design and manufacturing of the X-01; with the caveat being a more generalized Sith Fighter designed at a later date. Per usual, Jaeger agreed to playing both sides, and the design was put through R&D.
While previous iterations of Jedi Fighters allowed for anyone to pilot them, even droids, the concern came that it made more sense for highly advanced droid starfighters to simply do the job that Jedi had yet to out due; so they came to the conclusion that they simply had to sacrifice the wide market option. Giving that up, they were no longer beholden to mere 'mortal' standards and safety measures for ships that regular spacers could use.
No, instead they designed a ship that its mere nature would outpace and quickly kill non Force Users, and even Force Users who were not trained in the utilization of the ship itself. With turns and acceleration able to exceed 80 G's, and the ability to rotate independent of its momentum, and the various unguided missiles on board; the ship is as much a death trap as it is one of the best starfighters in the galaxy.
Its extreme momentum is given to the fact that it is designed with specialized focused Jaeger Prototypes that never passed safety tests; only mass produced onto the limited run ship for the sake of numbers. Quad X-01 engines allow the ship to break records on turns, acceleration, and max speed; when closed - and forces the pilot to rely entirely on the power of their Force abilities to turn the ship on their own, protect their body from the extreme conditions, and avoid the various anti-Air measures employed against the X-01 set up.
While open, the ship is capable of various forms of assault; starting with four heavy blaster cannons that can take down everything from fighters to strategic bombers - even emplacements like Turbolasers if the conditions are right. On top of this, a wide variety of chaffs, missile tubes, and proton torpedos allow for it to respond to every threat with a moderate ability - with trial runs allow for mock Fighters to take out targets as large as Battle Cruisers with force imbued proton torpedos.
All in all, the ship is fully capable of serving as the primary ship for Jedi Ace pilots, and the bulwark for the Jedi Navy to stand against the long cast shadows of the Sith and the Darkness they push.

All in all, seems pretty balanced. Sacrificing some speed for actual firepower, or moving at extreme speed while being unable to fire.

Low defense makes this overall seem good.

Approved.
