Greater Deztrikav's space program has rapidly expanded in the past few months. We have personally designed several new dropships and in-system spacecraft, including our latest M-1 Starfighters.
M-1 In-System Starfighter-$5 million
The M-1 is a revolutionary new starfighter. Its weaponry consists of two side bio-seeking missile launchers, each equipped with thirty of the said missiles, with 120 more in storage. The missile launchers are usually operated by standard space warfare Tactical AI's, but can be switched to manual control if necessary. The propulsion system is a Class 3 pulse engine, operational only in vacuum, that leaves very little ion trail through space. The main armament, located just above the cockpit, was originally a Hypercannon Energy Weapon, but in recent versions has been altered to a small but powerful particle cannon. Both are available. The vehicle is one-man, and has advanced neural-linked computer interfacing wired into the pilot's helmet. The ship can launch bioflares to deter bio-seeking missiles. The wings and body are composed of a ferrous-titanium alloy supplemented by low-level energy shielding capable of stopping small-scale energy assaults. Maneuverability is good in most conditions, but radar systems are unable to cope with complex asteroid fields. Max speed is reckoned at 12,000 mph. Not jump-capable. Fuel tanks hold 100 gallons of liquid oxygen. Docking clamps work with most systems. The wings curve downwards slightly, and the body is roughly the shape of an oval tapering to a point at which the barrel of the main gun ends.
