Nssis-class Clawcraft
Ship Class: Starfighter
Ship Role: Starfighter
Ship Length: 7.65 meters
Agility (A): 4
Defensive (D): 3
Offensive (O): 2
Speed (S): 3
Special Gear: 0
Description:
The fuselage was based on the ubiquitous "ball cockpit" of the TIE Series of Imperial starfighters, with a Sienar ion drive pod mounted on the rear, but stemming from the junction of cockpit and drive pod were two pairs of curving wings which thrust out like an X-wing's strike-foils, and then extended forward in a claw-like grip around the cockpit. At the tip of each wing was a Sienar L-s7.2 laser cannon.
With modest deflector shields and thicker hull armor, Clawcraft were slower at sublight speeds than their TIE/LN starfighter progenitors, although the ion engines allowed the ship to achieve an atmospheric speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and a respectable sublight acceleration of almost forty thousand meters per second squared. Each curved wing could make minor position adjustments and was paired with a mounted control jet to allow a Clawcraft's pilot to throw the ship into sharp turns and complex maneuvers.
A unique hyperspace beacon system allowed a Clawcraft to make lightspeed jumps without an on-board navigation computer, enabling it to function as a long-range craft while significantly reducing the weight, size and complexity of non-combat equipment carried. New variants began to enter service that featured on-board navicomps for the first time, as well as warhead launchers.
