YT-5100 Shriek-class Bomber
Ship Class: Heavy Starfighter
Ship Role: Bomber
Ship Length: 16.5 meters
Agility (A): 3
Defensive (D): 4
Offensive (O): 5
Speed (S): 2
Special Gear: 1 (Ejectable Bridge)
Description:
Designed specifically to provide a bomber capability to the Five Worlds, the YT-5100 was shaped like a smaller version of the YT-1300 light freighter, however with a central nose cockpit instead of the cockpit offset to the starboard. Their armaments included frontal torpedo tubes, concussion missiles, a top-mounted quad laser cannon, and a bottom-mounted bomb/spotter droid drop pod. They had three engines, granting a decent amount of agility despite their weight and slow speed. Much like how the stock YT-1300 had a removable cargo pod between its mandibles, the bridge of the YT-5100 can be ejected from between the mandibles as an escape pod, carrying the pilot and the gunner to safety, away from the rest of the ship.
The first recorded usage of Shriek bombers in battle was by Panther Flight at the Battle of Tralus in 40 ABY. Their deployment against the Galactic Alliance caused considerable confusion, as older-model sensor systems identified them as typical YT-class freighters. The subsequent barrage of bombs from the Shrieks' drop pods was devastating.
Armament:
(1) Quad laser cannon turret (rotating, top-mounted)
(2) Proton torpedo tubes (front-mounted, 3 torpedoes each)
(4) Concussion missile launchers (side-mounted, 2 missiles each)
(1) Drop pod (belly-mounted, capable of carrying a wide array of thermal and kinetic bombs)
Hyperdrive: Class 1.8
Crew:
(1) Pilot
(1) Gunner/Missile-man
(1) Spotter Droid
Ship Class: Heavy Starfighter
Ship Role: Bomber
Ship Length: 16.5 meters
