Description

First produced in 2899,[3] while it only has average maneuverability and armor for its weight, the Avar OmniFighter is beloved more by commanders for being a solid workhorse design that gets the job done than by most of the pilots who actually fly them.[7][8]

An older design, it is only through the requests of a handful of commanders that the Avar is still in service. Unlike the Vandal, which remains in service thanks to its highly specialized nature, the Avar's very lack of any specialty is what has saved it from being mothballed. The combination of moderate speed and 14 tons of pod space gives commanders enormous flexibility in using this fighter, a classic example of the benefits of OmniPod technology.[7][3][8]

Weapons and Equipment

The primary Avar configuration carries a nose-mounted Streak SRM-6, ER Large Laser and Medium Pulse Laser, supported by two more Medium Pulse Lasers split between the wings. Though only a single ton of missile reloads are carried, the efficiency of the Streak system means this is usually sufficient for a single battle.[7][8][3]

Alternate Configurations

  • Alternate Configuration B 
    The all laser carrying Avar B configuration is an excellent strafing vehicle. Twin large pulse lasers are mounted in the nose, backed up by an ER medium laser mounted on each wing tip. BV (1.0) = 1,794,[3][11] BV (2.0) = 2,142[5][12]
  • Alternate Configuration C 
    The Avar C can deliver a devastating short range assault, carrying twin SRM-6 packs in each wing supported by a nose-mounted Narc missile beacon. Carrying two tons of SRM reloads but only a single ton of Narc pods, the C configurations carries backup in the form of three ER medium lasers, one on each wing tip and in the nose to supplement the missile launchers. BV (1.0) = 1,464,[3][13] BV (2.0) = 1,747[5][14]
  • Alternate Configuration D 
    A recent variation, the Avar D mounts two of the new ATM-9 launchers along with twin ER medium lasers in the nose. Only two tons of reloads forces the pilot to carefully select which of three ATM missile types to carry. BV (1.0) = 1,665,[3] BV (2.0) = 1,765[5][15]
