DESCRIPTION
The SX-18 Salamander is a snubfighter produced by the Telex-Delcor corporation, which is better known for its small work skiffs. Unremarkable by most metrics, the Salamander does stand out from the crowd with its ability to carry a single passenger in addition to the pilot, while still being equipped with a hyperdrive and shields, though it lacks any very heavy armament aside from its twin medium laser cannons and a quartet of concussion missiles. Speed is middling, only 95 MGLT, but maneuverability is very good, making it a popular craft for astrobatic displays.

Due to its ability to carry a passenger, the military version of the Salamander, designated the SX-18A, has found a niche with mercenaries, law enforcement and even some special operations units. An unarmed variant, the SX-18U, is produced for sale as a civilian sport flyer, although it is relatively simple to retrofit the intended armament. As a result, the type is popular with pirates and other outlaws, who can buy them on the open market without raising too many alarms.

LEGALITY
Restricted. The armed version of the Salamander is a starfighter, and is subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities. The unarmed version has no such restrictions, but arming one without first obtaining the proper permits and licensing is considered illegal.

INTENT
To create a standard, two-seat starfighter.
