STRENGTHS
  • Robust: The Y-Fender's heavy armor plating and dual deflector shield system ensures that the starfighter is able to sustain significant damage without being destroyed
  • Heavily armed: The Y-Fender can engage a variety of different targets thanks to its powerful and varied onboard armament
  • Speed boost: Since the Y-Fender comes equipped with SLAM, it can temporarily increase its speed beyond its normal limits
  • Maneuverability boost: In a similar fashion, the Y-Fender is also equipped with a Proprietary Internal Maneuverability System, allowing the craft to increase its agility in a dogfight
WEAKNESSES
  • Mediocre performance: When not engaging its speed and maneuverability boosts, the Y-Fender "Ugly" is only capable of attaining mediocre performance, making it vulnerable to faster moving fighters
  • Reduced visibility: An unfortunate quirk of the Y-Fender is the fact that it is relatively difficult to see out of, limiting overall visibility
  • Small squadron size: The average Y-Fender squadron only contains a total of 8 starfighters, making the craft vulnerable to smaller, more numerous enemy assets
DESCRIPTION

Prior to its ascension into the Imperial Confederation, the Y-Fender "Ugly" once represented the pinnacle of Mahporeenian starfighter design and ingenuity, being constructed from parts of a Y-Wing and TIE Defender. However, after being admitted to the Confederation as a full fledged member, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant soon discovered that the Y-Fender was simply unable to compete with more modern and advanced designs, and the starfighter soon faded in obscurity.

That being said, in an attempt to wrestle some modicum of independence from the N&Z Umbrella Corporation, the Imperial Remnant made the decision to restart production of the starfighter with a number of key improvements. First and foremost was the addition of a SubLight Acceleration Motor system and a Proprietary Internal Maneuverability System, allowing the Y-Fender to keep up with faster, more agile ships than itself. The Imperial Remnant then installed a variety of Dornean technology onto the ship, making the Y-Fender even more lethal than it had originally had been. Final improvements included the installation of modular weapon systems, making the Y-Fender even easier to construct than ever before.

That being said, though a robust and capable design, the Y-Fender "Ugly" still suffers from generally mediocre performance and a small squadron size, allowing smaller, more numerous starfighters to take advantage of the vessel during atmospheric and space combat. Nonetheless, the Imperial Remnant believes that the Y-Fender "Ugly" can play an important role in Imperial combat operations, regardless of its age or origins.

STANDARD FEATURES
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Overwhelming firepower: Many of the weapon systems installed aboard the CR125U Corvette are exceptionally powerful, giving the ship a surprisingly high amount of firepower in a relatively small design
  • Heavy armor: The CR125U's upgraded armor gives the vessel considerably more staying power when compared to its predecessors
  • Carrier: Each CR125U Corvette is capable of transporting up to 8 starfighters into combat, giving the ship a considerable amount of flexibility
  • All rounder: The Assault Laser Cannons installed onboard the CR125U Corvette are capable of easily tracking fast moving starfighters and destroying more heavily armored capital ships
  • Performance enhancement: The CR125U is capable of temporarily boosting its speed and maneuverability thanks to its onboard systems
  • Reliability: All CR125U Corvettes are highly reliable, being unlikely to malfunction or breakdown
WEAKNESSES
  • Limited weapon slots: One of the biggest drawbacks of the CR125U is its limited number of weapon slots, forcing the ship to rely on the power of each individual weapon rather than sheer numbers of weapons themselves
  • Short range: Though immensely powerful, the CR125U's Assault Laser Cannons possess a short effective range, forcing the ship to get up close and personal with its targets
  • Broadside: The way that the CR125U is designed means that it is most effective when engaging targets in a broadside, though its "Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannon and Assault Concussion Missile Launcher can only engage front facing targets
  • Large: The CR125U straddles the line between corvette and frigate, being rather large for a ship of its class
  • Vulnerable: The CR125U's hangar is especially vulnerable to being targeted by enemy fire
DESCRIPTION

Though it once represented the pinnacle of Mahporeenian naval design, the CR125 Corvette proved to be hopelessly outdated by 902 A.B.Y, and all Mahporeenian attempts to upgrade the vessel had resulted in failure, leaving the CR125A and CR125B variants of the ship to fade away into obscurity. Coupled with the fact that Mahporeem Imperial Remnant was slowly replacing these ships with Loki-Class Fast Corvettes, their was a very real possibly that the CR125 line would be retired once and for all from Mahporeenian service.

However, that changed upon meeting Bido Roz’lyn Bido Roz’lyn , who made a deal with the Imperial Remnant in order to save the production of he ship. In exchange for selling half of the remaining CR125 Corvette hulls to her faction, the Dornean would provide Mahporeem access to a number of technologies that would allow the ship to compete with more modern designs. Eager to keep the size of their navy as large as possible, Mahporeem readily agreed, creating the CR125U Corvette.

The main changes given to the CR125U involved revamping its armament. The standard laser cannons installed aboard the vessel were replaced with Assault Laser Cannon variants, which were powerful enough to rival turbolasers at the cost of reduced range. When supplied with Dornean Plasma, these cannons are capable of punching through Star Destroyer sized vessels while still being able to quickly track and acquire more nimble starfighters. The ship's F-9 Heavy Ion Cannon was replaced with a Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannon, while a single Assault Concussion Missile Launcher was installed on the ship, an ordinance launcher usually seen on far larger Battlecruisers. Finally, a single Space Mine Ejector was added in between the ship's Hoersch-Kessel Ion Drive Engines.

For a vessel of its size, the CR125U is surprisingly destructive, able to effectively counter starfighters, support craft and even capital ships with its varied and powerful armament. Of course, the CR125U does suffer against larger, more heavily armed and armored ships than itself but is more than capable of holding its own regardless of what might be thrown against it.

STRENGTHS
  • Flying armory: The Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is a veritable flying armory, coming equipped with laser cannons, mass-driver cannons and proton torpedo launchers
  • Heavily armored: As is befitting of its role, the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is heavily armored and capable of sustaining major damage while still being able to fly
  • Relatively maneuverable: For a ship of its size, the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is surprisingly nimble, thanks to its adjustable shuttle wings
  • Close air support: the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator excels in providing close air support to friendly ground forces
  • Capital ship killer: Additionally, the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is highly effective against capital ships, thanks to its mass-driver cannons and proton torpedo launchers
  • Angles of fire: Due to the way that the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is designed, it is capable of engaging multiple targets at once, from top to bottom and front to back.
WEAKNESSES
  • Slow moving: Due to its numerous weapons and heavy armor, the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is a relatively slow moving ship, making it unable to outrun enemy starfighters
  • Danger close: The Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator was designed to support friendly infantry and armor. As such, it is often seen targeting ground units in close proximity to allied forces, creating an increased risk of friendly fire
  • Air magnet: Because it is often engages in low altitude warfare, the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is especially vulnerable to enemy anti-air defenses and even certain ground units, as it tends to attract a large volume of fire
  • No passengers: The numerous amounts of weapons on board the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator prevent it from carrying additional passengers
  • Maintenance nightmare: Like many Mahporeem designs, the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is built from a number of different ships. This can make acquiring spare parts a difficult task
DESCRIPTION

In preparation for their upcoming campaign against the Sith Order, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has begun the long and arduous process of reorganizing their ground, aerial and naval forces. In doing so, Mahporeem has quickly discovered that they are woefully unprepared for a major ground invasion of Sith held space. To rectify this situation, Mahporeem has begun designing a number of new vehicles and spacecraft for use in their current and future campaigns.

One of these designs is the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator. Like many designs originating from Mahporeem, it too is a combination of different ships and ship parts: the YT-1760 Small Transport, the Lambda-class T-4a Shuttle and the TIE/sa Tactical Bomber. The idea behind this particular model was to create a gunship capable of engaging a variety of different targets in both space and inside a planet's atmosphere.

The Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator performs this task admirably, thanks to the potent and varied weapons that it carries. In additional to a number of heavy blaster and laser cannons, the Lambda-class YT-1760 also possesses a pair of heavy mass-driver cannons and four proton torpedo launchers. This armament allows the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator to engage nearly any conceivable type of target. It is also heavily armored, to fully maximize its destructive potential.

Of course, the Lambda-class YT-1760 Annihilator is quite vulnerable to enemy starfighters, due to its low speed and mediocre maneuverability. Though the craft possesses more than enough weapons to defend itself, it was not designed to combat such small and nimble targets, and should always be sent into battle with a starfighter escort if possible.
