Description:
The Javelin-Class Interceptor was one of the many projects in the Excelsior Program, created by the now defunct Halocroft Industries. Originally designed to be a lightning fast interceptor that would penetrate the enemies front lines, to engage them from behind - the vessel was only in prototype stages when Halocroft was shut down. As such, the designs disappeared from the galaxy for a time, until the return of Darth Nexus, who retrieved them and brought them into production.
The vessel was narrow and short, granting it a small targeting profile - hence its moniker as the Javelin. Resembling the head of a spear, the vessel was blindingly fast on straight shots, but it also had high end thrusters along the ships belly and top, allowing for sharp, high tension turns - this allowed for it to be nimble. Armed with dual ion cannons, and a heavy laser cannon, both which were mounted beneath the bow of the ship - its primary use in combat was to slip behind enemy lines, and disable enemy vessels from behind, allowing for heavier fighters to clear them out with relative ease. Using speed to their primary advantage, the vessels would strike, then put as much distance between them and their targets - and if one was foolish enough to break formation to chase them, they would often be lead straight into the enemy ranks.
While these ships were agile and quick, they were not designed for prolonged combat - lacking a shield generator, their objective was to use quick strikes, before retreating, then re-engaging once the enemy was in contact with a more combat-oriented squadron. In the hands of an inexperienced combatant, these vessels were easy targets, however with a skilled pilot operating them, they were a dagger in the side of most squadrons.
