Entry Subject: Starwind Staryards I-CC7 "Sparrow" Starfighter
Status: Fanon
Capsule:



Produced by a little known Rim Based yard, the Sparrow was cranked out for service during the Sith Imperial War to serve as a fast, capable starfighter. Marketed to both sides of the war, it was ultimately turned down and ended up upon the civilian market, where it earned a following among Mercenaries and Pirates for it's speed, firepower, and low maintenance requirements.

The vessel bosts sturdy shields and an acceleration that will throw you out of the chair if you're not strapped down. The hull's not the best, but its capable of some pretty impresive maneuverability.
Firepower-wise, off the line she comes with a pair of high-powered laser cannons and a pair of Ion Cannons under the nose, allowing her to run down and paralize or pulverise her opponents.
She has a pair of Concussion Missle launchers with three missles for each tube, giving her some warhead punch for whatever the lasers dont kill.
Starwind Staryards also gave the ship an Astromech plug, allowing the pilot to focus on flying and shooting.

How does it stack against the Crossfire and the Predator you ask?
She's as fast as a predator, though not quite as maneuverable, and her weapons hit hard enough that she could down a crossfire if the Pilot keeps her away from the Crossfire's guns. So to sumarize: if the pilot keeps his head on a swivel, he can hold his own against the two more common fighters of the era.

Light, elegant, guranteed to wear well-the LS is a quality product from the Nubians. Its a blisteringly fast interceptor, capable of outrunning Predator fighters with ease and thus earning her the nickname "Rocket-sled".

She lacks in hull and shields, and she doesnt have a warhead launcher, but the firepower of her guns match that of a Twin-tail, so she's capable of taking down enemy craft.

Unlike most snubfighters, the X-83 features an astromech hardwired into the ship (usually an R2 or R4 model). This allows for the ship to overtime develop personality quirks, and can even have the droid anticipating the pilot, unless going through routine memory wipes.

All in all, a good ship.
Having only one engine, she does tend to be something of a hangar queen, requireing lots of regular maintenance to keep combat worthy.
But this is off set somewhat by her advanced targeting systems and her capablity in Atmosphere. Most starfighters cant keep up with it's aerobatic handeling in atmo, something that makes this a hot purchase for Planetary Defense Forces.

She's also very pretty.

Status: Fanon
Capsule:



An Army moves on its stomach. This is the same no matter where you go. And thats why this particular piece of equipment is so vital throughout the galaxy. It carries the food. And the ammo, and the fuel, and the parts, and the medicne and about everything else.

The HT-74 is a durable, affordable, military cargo truck thats known for its incredible durability in the field. Capable of hauling around several tons of cargo from place to place in fairly short order, the vehicle is eqiuped with sturdy armor plating and a rotary blaster canon in an open air turret, allowing it to operate in combat contidions and even take a few hits.

The sturdyness of the design is legendary among military forces around the galaxy and for over twenty years it has reigned supreme among military ground transports. In a bewildering variety of climates, the HT-74 has operated steadily and reliably and can take some pretty impressive abuse from her handlers without a loss in performance.

This Vehicle is in frequent use among the Empire, the Galactic Alliance, and most military forces accross the galaxy. Aratech produces a variety of custom kits for it, including a sensortruck kit and both a treaded and wheeled modification kit that replaces the vehicle's sturdy repulsorlift hoverpods.
Theres even a Civilian version that comes without the turret gun.

Status: Fanon
Capsule:

After seeing the massive success of the CR 90 during the Galactic Civil War and after, CEC came up with newer models. The latest incarnation easily holds its own in a modern galaxy.

The vessel was designed to fit the empty role of anti-starcraft in the greater galaxy. Masive carriers and their wings and Gladius-frigates were the common tool, but there was nothing small enough to maneuver between frigates and ships, and still be able to accurately attack fighters AND fight larger ships at the same time. The CR 120 is just that. Standard crew is 8 officers and 36 enlisted, though this can be as high as 30 officers and 180 enlisted. Passenger room is 600 persons at most. Length is 240 meters, with 30 meters at its skinniest and nearly 180 at its widest.

The basic design follows a short, stubby bow similar to star destroyers, but with wings and a tail-end covering the thirteen identical engines. The initial design carries little armament itself, but the manufacturers installed no less than 30 hardpoints onto these babies, earning the nickname "Multi-Task." Because of this feature, there are virtually hundreds of weapons configurations for the ship, depending on the model and role.

A military model has this typical weapons configuration:
- 10 Class-9 Turbolasers
- 5 Class-8 Laser Cannons
- 5 Class-6 Ion Cannons
- 10 Class-8 Missle Tubes

This is fairly standard. All military models come with basic shielding, armor, and hyperdrive, as well as a Point-Defense system. Due to customization though, upgrading is fairly easy for a group of mechanics.

Hangar room is limited to space for a shuttle. Shields strength is fairly good for a ship it's size, but its crown jewel is the engines. This baby can crank it up to 2500 MGs with all weapons blazing and hold the course for hours on end. Full throttle, she clocks at 3000 MGs in space, and 2300 MGs in atmosphere when stripped down. Combined with a fast .8 hyperdrive and this, she can literally fly circles around everything else.

Of course, there are drawbacks. Using such thrust strains the systems, can cause overheating, and generally diverts power away from weapons to the engines, and can even cut life-support if pushed too hard. Thus, ideal speed is limited to a max of 2750 MGs before straining occurs.

The ship also suffers from weak armor, especially in the thin center, where the ship has proven to be blown in half by strong enough turbo-lasers or missles.

Even still, these short-comings are minor, at best. When you can fly this fast, alter the ship for a variety of missions and facilities, and can even punch holes in Destroyers in small groups, you don't have much to worry about. Properly equipped, these could even strangle frigates such as Wombat IIs and Gladiuses, which are eternally bound to their components.

Thus, this is the vessel to own. They're small, fast, bite hard, cheap, and easy to come by. Every known major organization has at least one, if not a hundred of these, and many are popping up in the hands of crime rings and mercenary gangs. Parts are in extreme surplus, there's no lack of the ship, and when you can arm a ship this small almost as much as a vehicle twice its size, who needs anything else?

*NOTE- Straight out of the factory, these ships have ONLY hardpoints. Shields, engines, hyperdrive, life support, and the computer. That's it. You must buy and install your own weapons.

Subject: Pellaeon-class Star Dreadnaught
Status: Canon/Fanon
Capsule:


After several incarnations, the Empire comes to witness its third flagship class. First was the Executor-class behemoths, spanning over ten miles long and with enough power to annihalate a fleet of star destroyers. Next was the Eclipse-class, even larger, with a massive bow and hyperdrive with enough momentum to ram straight through a fleet without being hurt at all, and enough firepower to take on a fleet without help, not to mention a turbolaser 1/20 the power of the Death Star's.

The Pellaeon-class, named after Gillad Pellaeon himself, is a fine ship, and serves with the fortitude that Mith'raw'naurudo's pupil had. Though not nearly as long as an Executor, this ship is twice as tall, putting it at 8 miles long, and 3/4 of a mile at its highest point. The ship boasts six smaller engines and one massive engine, giving it about the same power as the Executor with less add-on. A Pellaeon is at least as power as an Executor, and with modern technology, this ship can easily take on a dozen Nebula-class Star Destroyers.

Crew is approximated 200,000, with a Class 1.7 hyperdrive, and capable of 2500 G- a massive improvement. There are estimated 4000 quad, twin and regular turbolasers, as well as 400 ion cannons, and 600 missile launchers. Ships carry enough consumables for 3 years, and carry a minimum of 1000 squadrons of 7 Predators (7000), 500 squadrons of 4 bombers (2000), 20 AT-ATs, 40 AT-STs, 80 TIE-ap1's, and 10,000 stromtroopers. The hangars can be retrofitted to also carry additionally either four Tartan-class Corvettes and an additional 100 squadrons of 7 Predators (700) and 25 squadrons of 4 bombers (100) OR 30 AT-ATs, 50 AT-STs, 50 TIE-ap1's, and 30,000 stormtroopers. By default, the ship carries enough Lambdas to bring all of this to the ground, and then some.

If one decides to believe the Pellaeon is the modern SSD, estimations put it at a Class 1 or better hyperdrive. Well over 100 turbolasers dot the ship, while the status of barbette cannons is still unknown, though 8 would be possible. at least 20 ion cannons and 10 tractor beams are on the ship. The thing could store 2 wings of predator fighters, while still maintaining enough crew to deploy for a land invasion.

And you thought the Y-wing was slow, tough, and well armed....
Enter the BTS-A2 Long-Range Strike Fighter/Bomber, Most often reffered to as the "H-wing".
The H-wing was used in limited amounts by the Rebel AllianceDue to it's high purchase cost, Crew intensive maintenance requirements, and the fact it had trouble fitting in most Rebel fighter hangars.
Nonetheless, this was one bad bird.
Armwise, the B-wing barely manages to outgun it. The H-wing has two torpedo tubes with an eight torpedo magazine each. When necessary, this could be swapped out for a Proton Bomb bay much like the Y-wing's Munition system. In Addition it sported two fire-linked ion cannons in the Starboard control pod. The Main gun of the H-wing was a heavy laser cannon mounted in a turret. Thats right, a turreted heavy laser cannon.

She needed it too, because this ship was going no where fast. Even the B-wing was faster and more maneuverable. The Y-wing may move like a sleepy Hutt, but the H-wing moves like a Hutt's corpse. She does have her own hyperdrive and nav system, class 1 too. She also had good shields, hull, and Sensors.

She needed a crew of three to fly, one pilot, two gunners. For long space trips it had a rather cramped and underfurnished bunk. Bad news flyboys: No ejection seats. So wear your space suits.

As prieviously stated, the H-wing was an expensive bird to fly. Rebel HQ could by almost any two single seater fighters for the price of one H-wing. The H-wing saw limited service and was quickly replaced by the B-wing, relegating the huge fighter to anti-commerce roles and starfighter screening for transports. By the Vong invasion, only pirates and mercs were using them.
