1: SF-T-22 Bokken; A training version, it has an extended cockpit with two seats so pilots can be trained with real flight time without endangering themselves or the ship.

==== Dimensions ====
**Length:fuselage:6 meters, nose to wingtip: 7.5 meters**
**Width: wings unfolded 4.55 meters, wings folded 1.7 meters**
**Height: wings unfolded 2 meters, wings folded 3 meters**
**Decks:1**
**Weight:18 tons**
==== Performance ====
**Speed (STL):0.74C**
**Speed (Hyperspace Fold):10.0 ly/m**
**Speed (arial): mach 9**
**Range:5 days at max speed**
**Lifespan:10 years**
**Refit Cycle surprised nce every Mission**


2: SF-R-22 Lookout; A reconnasaince version, It only retains the laser weapons, swapping the rest for Sensor and Communications packages. It Has a more effective FTL engine, and has a 200% increase in FTL speed, at the cost of manueverability and STL speed when going slower than light.

==== Dimensions ====
**Length:fuselage:3 meters, nose to wingtip: 4.5 meters**
**Width: wings unfolded 4.55 meters, wings folded 1.7 meters**
**Height: wings unfolded 2 meters, wings folded 3 meters**
**Decks:1**
**Weight:16 tons**
==== Performance ====
**Speed (STL):0.65C**
**Speed (Hyperspace Fold):30.0 ly/m**
**Speed (arial): mach 9**
**Range:12 days at max speed**
**Lifespan:10 years**
**Refit Cycle surprised nce every 6 months**

3: SF-P-22 Katana; In exchange for the FTL engines and shields, the Katana has two STL Engines and two extra sets of lazers. the STL Engines are powerful enough that they can actually push the ship to the speed of light without engaging warp. It has smaller wings which grant a higher roll rate, and a smaller turning radius at speed.

==== Dimensions ====
**Length:fuselage:3 meters, nose to wingtip: 4.5 meters**
**Width: wings unfolded 3 meters, wings folded 1.7 meters**
**Height: wings unfolded 2 meters, wings folded 2 meters**
**Decks:1**
**Weight:12 tons**
==== Performance ====
**Speed (STL):0.95C**
**Speed (Hyperspace Fold):N/A**
**Speed (arial): mach 10**
**Range:5 days at max speed**
**Lifespan:10 years**
**Refit Cycle surprised nce every 6 months**


4: SF-B-22 Fatso; A bomber variant, the Fatso is slower and less manueverable than all the others, and carries less anti-ship weaponry. It sports an enclosed bomb bay on the lower fuselage, making it taller than the others (And decidedly wierd looking when landed) It has increased shields to make up for it's defects, but is still inferior at Bombing compared to a Shamshir.

==== Dimensions ====
**Length:fuselage:3 meters, nose to wingtip: 4.5 meters**
**Width: wings unfolded 4.55 meters, wings folded 1.7 meters**
**Height: wings unfolded 5 meters, wings folded 6 meters**
**Decks:1**
**Weight:20 tons**
==== Performance ====
**Speed (STL):0.5C**
**Speed (Hyperspace Fold):10.0 ly/m**
**Speed (arial): mach 7**
**Range:5 days at max speed**
**Lifespan:10 years**
**Refit Cycle surprised nce every 6 months**

mmkay, critique...

3. No shields? That's like suicide... Also, you've told me in the past that FTL speeds with a STL engine isn't possible. I'd slow this down for continuity.

4. This one is kind of weird.

HA! I was going on the incorrect assumption that I'd put the scimmy's STL speed as .99, and thought of the only way to make is faster. Seeing that I actually have the Scimmy doing only .75, I don't need that anyway XD

It also doesn't have shields becase the modifications to the wings and Engines don't leave room for them. This is our version of like a TIE interceptor or A-Wing, if we see the original scimmy as being like an X-Wing. It's smaller, faster, and more agile, so it doesn't necesarily need shields, but is only useful in the hands of a skilled pilot (IE:Steven or Emma)

The Fatso IS wierd. It's a variant that was made before the Shamshir supposedly, as a stopgap measure (remember, we're despearate!)

So it's just something to be colorful, and not really used as much. Same with the trainer, basically. But i will go in and change the speed for it. I think i'll go and add speeds to them all, actually XD
