Description: Named after the last capital of the Third Republic, the Yutan is the product of the Commonwealth's need for attack craft that can cloak so as to conduct surgical, stealth strikes. Its Guernica ordnance launcher allows it to be outfitted with a number of different weapons for flexible mission profiles: for example it can be used for bombing targets, engaging combat patrols. Thanks to its waste heat recovery devices, the Yutan can keep the life support and other avionics supplied with power so long as the engines or reactor still work. However, due to the short range of the hyperdrive (5000 light-years), it is best to operate the fighter a short distance from the home base or from a carrier. Due to the high energy consumption of the cloaking device, the fighter slows down when the cloaking device is in use. To cut on maintenance costs, 2 hypervelocity cannons have been installed, providing the tactical equivalent of 4 standard laser cannons. Because the Yutan depends so much on projectile weapons, particle shields are eschewed. Nevertheless, pilots can also use flares to get missiles off them. Also, the Yutans are available in two versions: one-seater for normal operation and two-seater, used for training purposes.
