- Starflare-class Corvette - Ship Class: Corvette Ship Role: Corvette Ship Length: 220 meters Agility (A): 4 Defensive (D): 3 Offensive (O): 3 Speed (S): 4 Special Gear: 1 Troops
Description:Standard Equipment:
Mk4 Fire Control System Anti-ion Emission Tracer Animated Metal Sealant Inertial Compensators Main Sublight Drive Anti-Concussion Field Generators Military Deflector Shield Generators Repulsorlift Arrays Twin mounted heavy asteroid tug tractor beams
Hangar and Maintenance Facilities 12 Small craft
Barracks, Armoury, Support Facilities Space for up to 360 troops
Internal Defences:
ABC Scramblers Laser Cutters
Armaments :
10 Missile/Torpedo tubes 5 Ion Cannons 5 Turbolaser Batteries 10 Dual Heavy Laser Turrets 10 Quad-Laser TurretsPartially designed off purloioned plans for the Raider-class corvette, the Starflare is heavily modified for extra cargo space and custom fitted out to the Mandalorian company's specifications. As with the original Raider, the ship is sleek and roomy and visually, the stern contains the main reactors, and holds the same 3 engines and a hyperdrive in similar configuration to the original Raider-class. Armaments include missile tubes, laser cannons, turbolasers, ion cannons, as well as quad laser cannons for starfighter defence.Thorough work by MandalArms engineers in a full redesign of the original Raider-II specs maximised the available internal space within the vessel. Marrying advanced design processes with the most advanced technology available allows the corvette to maintain a significantly improved agility and speed than previous iterations, while increasing the superstructure in size and mass. Powerful twin reactors are able to channel power through shielded capacitance banks directly into the advanced engines, which allows the larger Starflare to output higher energy levels, also providing power for her weapons arrays and shields. The Starflare is equipped with two large tractor beams which are mounted into the ship's bow, easily its most unique feature. The ship also has hangar space for a full squadron of fighters, and infantry transports capable of bringing troops from their vessel to any surface or station. Along with a mess and recreation deck, there are training rooms and holovid facilities for troopers on board. A small command deck controls the vessel, which can be piloted by a single being, though usually there are two on duty at any time. Likewise, the vessel's weapons can be slaved to the command deck's computer systems, or manned by the crew at need.

Considering the Raider I and II is just 70 meters smaller, not sure this hull has the space for its armament. I will need to review the weaponry a bit and get back to you on that. Also, the last bit about piloting, when you say it can be slaved does that mean the Slave Circuit? Similar to the Katana Fleet?

Nicademus Delvardus IV No, the ship hasn't got an external slave circuit. It's internal use by the crew only, like switching out officer or gunner roles to the ship's computer.

Then would it be similar to what the Knight Hammer had?

Gotcha, just wanted to clarify that note then.
Next point: "Twin mounted heavy asteroid tug tractor beams"
These above. There is no description as to their purpose. Care to elaborate on the details of purpose and their intention? Is it similar to what the Starhawk utilized where it could move objects and, at times, objects larger than itself?

The nature of tractor beams means that youre not generally able to move objects with a mass larger than what theyre attached to, as I understand them.
They're intended for a variety of uses, anchoring the ship to larger objects, moving other objects (smaller in mass than the ship), or for more nefarious purposes, like tearing things apart by using the two and pulling in opposite directions (this last point is why theyre in the weapons section).

After speaking with Whill Shaman Kahul about the tractor beams, I feel that weaponizing the tractor beams won't be acceptable. After reviewing various instances of tractor beam usage, only the Starhawk-class truly weaponizes it based upon what we saw in Star Wars: Squadrons and in the Battle of Jakku. Overall, tractor beams are used to grab/capture and then draw in. In the instance of the TUG-314, guide vessels through busy docking lanes. And another, Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser, using its tractor beams to not only ensnare suspect vessels, but also to assist with traffic control in busy areas, such as construction. Now, the last bit of 'gripping' an object to tear it apart doesn't sound like something a tractor beam does. To me, it doesn't seem like an invisible hand, but rather a fishing net. So I do not think they can truly grab something and proceed to rip it apart. I did look through and didn't see any instances of this occurring. With that in mind, it would be best to remove the tractor beams as a weapon from this entry.

Thats fair. I can't think of an example where they have been used that way. I've moved them.
