4x deHollan u.21 Twin-Linked Medium Laser Cannon
Mounted above and below each wing, the deHollan u.21 provide reliable defense against starfighters and fast-moving objects. The guns consumes little energy and has an efficient liquid cooling system, ensuring that heat shutdowns occur infrequently even in tense firefights, while their high rate of fire makes up for each individual bolt's damage - which, compared to other medium laser cannons, is somewhat lackluster. While the deHollan guns won't impress a marauding Corvette, they're capable of shredding fighters and other small craft. The guns may be manually controlled, either by boarding the turret or by using any console in the ship's bridge. Under extraordinary circumstances, the shipboard computers can seize control of the turrets and automatically engage hostiles, though they are less accurate than they would be in the hands of a trained gunner.
6x Tanisian Shipyards D40 Chaff/Flare Launchers
40-tube flare launchers placed along the ship's fuselage and the trailing edge of the wings. Effective against all military missiles, save for those with unconventionally guided or manually guided warheads. Individual launchers fire flare/chaff cartridges in multiples of 4, with a maximum of 40 fired simultaneously. Cartridges are stacked in fours, giving each launcher four full salvos of forty chaff/flare units. The flare launchers may be fired all together, or grouped by ship component. They are typically controlled by the shipboard computer, but may be triggered manually by the pilot.
4x Targus MFG CV12 Electronic Warfare Systems
Slightly outdated, but still very useful EWS pods used to jam enemy communications and scramble sensor readings. Not entirely effective against advanced military sensors and comms, but more than enough to ruin the day of any bounty hunter or civilian police cutter.
Equipment
Two Twin Cyona Industries N76 Heavy Fusion Plants
One Targus CTF-42-E Compact Fusion Reactor
2x Durafly S92-0 Sublight Drive
One of the key components the Phantom was designed around, to house two massive sublight drives in the rear-most internal bays and two separate smaller supplementary drives in the wings. Technology reserved for some of the fastest couriers and starships designated by today’s standards. The design is fitted towards a low-weight- high speed ship with minimal drag and the greatest amount of control. The drives were fitted with modifiers to maintain the extraordinary control and speed in-atmosphere, both drives used with vector and reverse thrust components including 360 degree multi-rotational twin drives on both wings.
2x Durafly S92-1 Supplementary Sublight Drive
Sublight drive’s used in unison with the S92-0 for added stability, control and for even greater maneuverability. The drives operate separate to the much large main drives, but have different uses relating to control. The secondary sublight drives are used for extreme maneuvers, VTOL and emergency procedures.
1x KLH-C250S ‘ESS’ Environment Simulation System
Implemented into the core of the ship, the very structured riddled with mechanisms contributing to the success of the ESS. The ESS creates a stable environment onboard the ship, creating a false gravity regardless of the current ships rotational axis. The ESS also provides oxygen across the ship, having separate vents and systems to manage the entire ship. Each room is capable of being sealed off and either sucked of all oxygen, or cleansed of existing toxins, as well as each room having separate components to produce the false gravity. Given a breach, or fire, the appropriate rooms can be cleared and removed of threats.
1x MILDRED C4E2 Quantum Computing Core
A civilian supercomputer designed for use in superfreighters and other large vessels. Oversized for a vessel in the Phantom's weight category, however, its excess computing power allows it to control the ship's defensive systems without sacrificing control of its engineering and flight functions.
1x Targus Aerospace Group CS21.a3 Terrain Scanning LIDAR
TAG CS21.a3 is a military-grade LIDAR unit used for in-atmosphere navigation and targeting. It is also used for target acquisition and identification in space, as well as for numerous navigation purposes. Its high resolution, rapid scan time, and long range allow it to be effective in most any situation, and its advanced software allows it to filter out smoke and haze, as well as most other conditions which might impede its functionality. [Within reason, of course - it's still blind in a blizzard!] Dedicated anti-LIDAR smoke or chaff will, of course, disrupt it, as will most concentrated sources of smoke or laser-diffusing particles. When LIDAR is offline, terrain-scanning RADAR systems are most often used, though they do not have the same precision as LIDAR systems and are only suitable for navigational purposes.
1x Targus Aerospace Group AS20.a4n6 Combat Sensor Array
A blend of both navigational sensor array and high-resolution thermal and optical sensors, along with basic subspace sensors and standard RADAR, this array serves as the eyes and ears of any vessel carrying it. AS20 sensor clusters dot the frame, giving the unit a full 360 degrees of coverage and eliminating most blind spots - though the engines still pose a problem, as waste heat and radiation can and does impact sensor performance significantly. Though AS20 boasts a number of different sensor systems, it utilizes high-resolution infrared sensors and electrotelescopes in sensor blisters to create a 4pi steradian field of vision for the craft - essentially a complete sphere. The infrared sensors can readily detect inbound missiles and identify targets at long range, and are used to track other craft and targets in close. The electrotelescopes provide an extreme-range passive sensor system, which allows the vessel to gather information on its destination well before it arrives.
2x Targus Aerospace Group R35.a1 Subspace Communications System
The R35.a1 is a wholly ordinary military-grade subspace radio. One is tied into the B-Net, allowing communication with other military vessels, while the other ties into the C-Net, or civilian net. The C-Net transmitter is used to speak with civilian or non-Kushari craft. Both are physically isolated from the craft's computer systems, which makes it impossible to remotely hack the craft's systems.
2x Escape Cabins
The Phoenix is equipped with two jettisonable compartments that act as tiny spacecraft. Tiny solid-fuel thrusters allow it to limp towards friendly forces or an inhabitable world. It is capable of surviving atmospheric entry, and its onboard stores are sufficient to allow the pilot to live for several weeks - though if the atmosphere is toxic, the usual air limitation of two weeks still applies. The escape cabins may or may not contain large quantities of alcoholic beverages in addition to its survival gear, food, and small arms.
Maneuverability
The Phantom is an incredibly agile ship, utilizing multiple components and drives to rotate rapidly on nearly any axis, both in-atmosphere and otherwise. Having been built for this specific purpose, and for speed, making it a priority has given the original engineers and designers easier accountability for it's success. The ship accelerates quickly and is able to use reverse thrusters to slow rapidly. Maneuvers of the highest complexity are easy for the ship to complete with the right piloting, the mutli-directional drives on the wings increasing it's ability. The multi-rotational drives on the sides allow the vessel to utilize VTOL procedures and maneuvers.
Description
The X-SC14 Courier was built and designed on specifications of an ultra-fast personal carrier. Despite the large size of the vessel, the majority of it is to house large components which grant it the speed and agility it has. There is next to no cargo space, only enough for provisions, living quarters and a shuttle. There only room available for cargo being so minimal that it wouldn't serve any beneficial purpose as a freighter. Any additional space inside the armor of the X-SC14 was transitioned into living quarters and personal space for the crew aboard the ship, serving as a second home. The ship was never designed for combat, and only as an agile transporter.
The hull of the X-SC14 holds no credible feats, relying more its defensive capabilities to maintain its health rather than its thick hide. While able to maintain some damage, the effects that medium penetration would have on the vessel would prove worrying to any inside. The cannons mounted around the wings serving more as a defense against missiles or any additional threat which maintains the ability to be destroyed by damage.
Deployed under the command of Malokhai, the vessel is designed to be a minimal combat living courier for the Sith, the quarters and rooms inside providing as many benefits as any home or living quarters designed on any world. The quarters on board the ship are capable of sustaining a number of people as a home, not just the one. Allowing the ship to be more a mobile platform for Malokhai and his future endeavors.
