This is a locally produced custom fighter/interceptor build at the Idpuu (Core 0116 B585756-B) boatyards. A local noble, angry that the contract for a naval base went to his rival decided to form his own personal fighter squadron for the protection of his beloved home. The streamlined needle/wedge hull came in at an odd/non-standard tonnage. Their cost is blamed on the large fusion power plant, which is required to power the twin plasma cannons. There is a small craft bridge with two couches and a small craft stateroom, which allows an extended patrol range. A pair of plasma guns were fitted. These are short ranged and coupled with the model 3 computer can engage two different targets at the same time. The power drain of the fire control computer and high energy weapons reduces the fighter to a 3 agility, despite the powerful 6G acceleration maneuver drives. Armor was seen as pointless on a craft this small, and was evaluated to be unlikely to keep out critical hits from major weapon batteries.
