The '''''Rogue''''' was produced for the [[Star League Defense Force]] as a missile boat designed for zero-G combat. Though well-protected with five and a half tons of [[Ferro-Aluminum]] armoring, its sluggish performance often required its escort by other fighters. Its five tons of fuel gave it the ability to patrol and perform guard duties, as well as function in a fire support and bombardment role. Still, the ''Rogue'' was little-loved with few supporters, and the destruction of the Iona shipyards in [[2797]] meant the craft was on its way to extinction. In the end, only a handful are left in the arsenals of [[ComStar]] and [[Word of Blake]], with some possibly held by the [[Clans]] in older [[Brian Cache]]s.<ref name=TRO2750-66-67>''Technical Readout: 2750'', pp. 66-67, "Rogue Fighter Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050U232-233/>

The ''Rogue'' uses its wing-mounted Holly-8 [[LRM-15|LRM Delivery Systems]] to engage the enemy at long ranges and, when performing defensive operations, discourage the predation of other launching craft.  However, after 8 salvos, the craft is left to defend itself with two Starflash-1A [[Medium Laser]]s, each mounted either in the nose or rear of the craft. Since it is often the first fighter to leave a fight, the rear laser is more likely to be used, discouraging any pursuit.<ref name=TRO2750-66-67/><ref name=TRO3050U232-233/>

Description[edit]

The Rogue was produced for the Star League Defense Force as a missile boat designed for zero-G combat. Though well-protected with five and a half tons of ferro-aluminum armoring, its sluggish performance often required it to be escorted by other fighters. Its five tons of fuel gave it the ability to patrol and perform guard duties, as well as function in a fire support and bombardment role. Still, the Rogue was little-loved with few supporters, and the destruction of the Iona shipyards in 2797 meant the craft was on its way to extinction. In the end, only a handful are left in the arsenals of ComStar and Word of Blake, with some possibly held by the Clans in older Brian Caches.[7][4]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

The Rogue uses its wing-mounted Holly-8 LRM-15s to engage the enemy at long ranges and, when performing defensive operations, discourage the predation of other launching craft. However, after only eight salvos the craft is left to defend itself with two Starflash-1A medium lasers, one mounted in the nose, the other in the rear of the craft. Since it is often the first fighter to leave a fight, the rear laser is more likely to be used for discouraging any pursuit.[7][4]

Variants[edit]

  • RGU-133F 
    Though still poor at maneuvering and short on fuel, the RGU-133F was used as a ground-attack fighter by replacing each LRM-15 with two SRM-6s, with enough ammo for 30 salvos each, as well as the capability to carry bombs.[8] BV (1.0)= 614,[9] BV (2.0) = 818[5][10]

Notes[edit]

  • In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to Streuner. The model code was accordingly changed to STR-133E.
