Jedi Vector
Ship Class: Starfighter
Ship Role: Light Starfighter
Ship Length: 18 meters
Agility (A): 5
Defensive (D): 2
Offensive (O): 1
Speed (S): 5
Special Gear: 1 (Tractor Beam Projector)
Description:
Classified as starfighters, Jedi Vectors were designed by Valkeri Enterprises for the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. They were nimble, capable of responding quickly to their Force-sensitive pilots. Sleek and angular, the vessels were made for precision, designed with sharp edges to reduce air resistance and maximize speed. Vectors could be configured to carry either one or two occupants, allowing Jedi to fly either alone or with their Padawans. The vessel could be controlled from either seat, but the skill required to pilot the ship often mandated that a Jedi Master sit behind the controls. As its name implied, the Jedi Vector was designed to be piloted only by Jedi. It shared some design elements with the Vanguard, a land-based vehicle also developed by Valkeri.
The Vectors were designed from a minimalist perspective. They lacked systems that would otherwise be essential to non-Force-sensitive pilots, including shielding and important computer components. The ships were designed to transmit every tactile response directly to its Jedi pilot. Although this fluid responsiveness allowed pilots to pull off complex maneuvers, it also came at the price of requiring a great deal of focus from its operator. The ship's cockpit bubble was made from transparisteel and could be retracted smoothly into the Vector's hull or even blown off the vessel, in the event that a pilot needed to escape the craft quickly. Some of the starfighter's functions were designed to be operated remotely via the Force in emergencies, and incredibly-skilled Jedi could even pilot a Vector using only the Force.
Despite the Vector's spindly appearance, its firepower was not to be ignored. The starship's two laser cannons could only be used if a lightsaber was placed on an activation panel in the cockpit, which locked the weapon in place with a small force field. This design element was incorporated as both a security measure as well as a way to ensure that the weapons systems could only be fired after well-considered action, since Jedi only took life when there was no other choice. Further emphasizing this belief, a toggle on the Vector's control sticks allowed for pilots to choose non-lethal or stun blasts. Upon activation of the weapons systems, the ship's interior would light up in the color of the activating lightsaber's blade. In addition, control of another starship's weapons could be transferred to a Vector, allowing a Jedi to temporarily take control of an ally's weapons to engage in precise combat. In addition, it had a small tractor beam to capture pirates and aid with recovery operations.
