DESCRIPTION
The CBB LX-6 Light Attack Ship was designed to be a heavy fighter that was as heavy as a fighter could, realistically, be before it had to be classed as a blastboat or gunship. This was originally done as a way of avoiding the heavier licencing fees that came from making blastboats that the manufacturer didn't want to incur. By avoiding this extra fee, the CBB Lx-6 was created and fit a niche that the company didn't even know it was aiming for.

Groups that would usually run afoul of regulations placed on blastboat purchases were able to buy the ship and label it, technically correctly, as a heavy fighter and use it for anything from escort missions to short-term attack runs. It's size and shape make it inefficient to use for several types of blastboat duties, such as carrying prisoners or going on missions that last longer than a standard day. Equally, the deflector screen had to be downgraded to light to avoid power issues with the generators needing to be smaller to fit within the ship.

Often found in planetary defense fleets and, equally, in the fleets of pirates who prey upon said defense fleets, the CBB Lx- 6 has made a small name for itself as a ship that punches above it's weight class.

LEGALITY
Restricted. CBB LX- 6s are starfighters, if large ones, and are subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities. As they are designed to be very close to the edge of the blastboat category, private citizens owning one may be scrutinized further.


INTENT
To have a heavy starfighter that can be used by characters who would be unable to purchase/own/operate a bigger blastboat or gunship sized ship, primarily those stationed within the corporate and outer rims of the Galaxy. Also to be used as a hard-hitting, fast, pirate style assault ship.

RESTRICTIONS

Due to the highly specialized nature of their systems, CBB LX-6s are incompatible with all aftermarket upgrade components.
