DESCRIPTION
Commissioned after the First Order was defeated at the battle of Exegol, the MM-22 "Mynock" is one of the rare breaks from the T series of airspeeders Incom-FreiTek is known for manufacturing. This airspeeder sticks out for a number of reasons. First and foremost is its humble origins as being small two-seater civilian airspeeder for sport or industry rather than warfare. The increasing need for planetary defense and independent militias popping up has lead to a demand for capable aircraft while being practical.
Many planets have little interest in aiding neighboring systems or going on the offensive and for those systems the MM-22 has a great appeal. While normally the two light repeating blaster cannons are enough mow down infantry, tangle with other airspeeders and lightly armored targets, the true strength is in the versatility the Mynock is capable of. The Mynock can be outfitted with four concussion missiles or proton torpedoes. These can alternatively be armed with proton bombs depending on the needs of the mission.
Most often the MM-22 is found in the hands of backwater worlds that seldom have the need to travel into space. The MM-22 maneuvers exceptionally well in atmosphere compared to most starfighters. The Mynock's is far from the fastest airspeeder but can keep up with most starfighters and even outpace some ill-equiped for atmospheric travel. In the hands of a good crew they can take out multiple starships using atmosphere and home terrain to their advantage. However, like the TIE/SK they cannot effectively chase starships into space and loose much of their maneuverability, leading to many pirates and would-be invaders to make hit and run attacks. The Mynock is capable of making vertical take-off and landing as well as maintain a hovering position.
The Mynock is almost a starfighter in many respects but lacks many features found on modern day starships. Pilots must wear any life support they require rather than use the airspeeder's systems. No hyperdrive, navicomputer or astromech keeps this vehicle firmly in the airspeeder category. The Mynock lacks a deflector shield and is relatively lightly armored and armed with only a pair of light blaster cannons. However the airspeeder makes an excellent light strike speeder that can cripple enemy movements and artillery. The most notable cost about these airspeeders is the price of replacing warheads though for many planets that use this airspeeder, they have a plentiful supply. Often these are found in the hands of law enforcement or military groups though pirates and criminals have been known to pilot these airspeeders.
LEGALITY
Restricted. The MM-22 Mynock are military airspeeders, and are subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities.INTENT
Creating an airspace superiority airspeeder for relative cheap compared to interstellar starships and also a relative match for the TIE/SK. Inspired by the sky warden.
