Wart class Heavy Fighter

The Wart class Heavy Fighter is a Heavy Fighter that was designed for the Inar System Defense Forces.

Description / Specifications

The Wart family of fighters is meant for strike missions from a secure (or highly mobile) base. All of the designs in this family have relatively short ranges.

History & Background / Dossier

Due to its range, the Wart is tied to its carrier (usually the Bullfrog Class Fighter Tender or a ground base), and is not suited to the 'hide-and-seek' games of system defense if forced to operate alone. The Wart is the basic heavy fighter of the Inar SysDefCom and has several variants, including non-combat models (the Tadpole Fuel Shuttle for instance), and the fusion-armed Wart-F.

The cost below is according to standard rules, but Inar has been building spherical small craft for so long that the actual price per hull is about 63% of normal. Due to the high cost of the computer and power plant in the Wart, the MCr 5 savings is not significant in this design.
