Affiliation: N/A
Ownership: Anyone that wants to use one, though they tend to be on the more expensive side.
Intent: Primarily to provide my PC Magnus Valen with a small personal starfighter. It's also to provide players with a small, generic, non faction-specific starfighter focused entirely on hyper maneuverability over speed. It could see use amongst the Republic or Sith just as easily as in the hands of a pirate or smuggler.
Model: RMF-13 'Orbwalker'-class
Name: The Starhunter (Magnus' version)
Dimensions:
Length: 15m
Width: 27m
Height: 7m (at thickest point of the chassis)
Class: Starfighter
Crew: 1 pilot, 1 astromech/AI
Complement: N/A
Armament:
- 2x mounted front-facing dual laser cannons
- 2x seeking missile launchers (holds 5 missiles each)
- 1x mounted front-facing small ion cannon
- Military-grade ray shield
- 2x wing-mounted directional thrusters
- HoloNet uplink
- Emergency ejection system
- Additional inertial dampeners
- Voice recognition module (optional feature)
- Emergency life support
Hyperdrive Rating: Class 5
Maneuverability: One may notice that the Orbwalker is much slower than other starfighters of its size. This ship was not intended for interception; it was designed with maximum maneuverability in mind. Equipped with several directional thrusters, the Orbwalker can perform hairpin turns and a myriad of other physics-defying maneuvers a pilot could only dream of. Despite the ship's low top speed, its additional thrusters provide it with jaw-dropping acceleration, being capable of reaching its maximum velocity within the span of a few seconds. Its additional inertial dampeners help prevent the pilot from being affected by the accumulated g-force.
Description: The "Orbwalker" was designed to be one of the best dogfighting ships on the market through superior maneuverability. The starfighter is equipped with two additional wing-mounted directional thrusters - overkill to some, but these upgrades certainly pay off in the right hands. However, its slow top speed means it is best used in situations that require defending a target instead of chasing down an enemy.
The small ion cannon can provide supporting fire, but requires the pilot to redirect power from the wing-mounted thrusters to operate. After firing, the ship will be unable to perform advanced maneuvers for a few moments, effectively reducing its maneuverability to that of a regular starfighter.
