Description[edit]
The Shade is the lightest, fastest, and newest of the Word of Blake's three Spectral Series OmniFighters. In keeping with the Spectral motif, the almost alien looking Shade is named for a ghostly apparition.[2]
The apex of Precentor Vapula's high-powered multidirectional vectoring engines and collapsible wing structures, which almost halves the fighter's profile to the point that it resembles a shuttle or escape pod. This allows the Shade to make murderously tight high-G turns that only the elite cyber-enhanced Manei Domini can withstand.[2]
Using a 245-rated XL engine and six and half tons of Divine Shield-D ferro-aluminum armor, the Shade boasts excellent speed and protection for its size and intended role as an interceptor, while mounting 10 fixed double heat sinks and still leaving 15.5 tons available in pod space.[2]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The nose-heavy primary Invictus configuration mounts a single heavy PPC supported by two medium pulse lasers in its nose bay, and uses a Guardian ECM suite to boost its effectiveness.[2]
Alternate Configurations[edit]
- Alternate Configuration A (Dominus)
- Favoring a mix of missiles and lasers, the Dominus configuration features an LRM-15 with Artemis IV FCS mounted in its nose bay, supported by pair of ER medium lasers in each wing. A single extra double heat sink barely enhances heat dissipation to protect the two ton CASE equipped ammo bay from cooking off. BV (2.0) = 1,265[2][3]
- Alternate Configuration B (Infernus)
- A laser based dogfighter, the Infernus configuration mounts two ER large lasers in its nose, supported by an aft-mounted ER small laser. All three lasers are linked to an advanced targeting computer to enhance their accuracy, while two additional double heat sinks strive to keep them firing. BV (2.0) = 1,209[2][4]
- Alternate Configuration C (Comminus)
- A hard-striking mixed missile and laser variant, the Comminus mounts a single Thunderbolt 10 launcher in its nose, supported by paired ER medium lasers in each wing. Two additional double heat sinks attempt to keep the heat of this variant under control to prevent the two tons of CASE protected missile reloads from exploding. BV (2.0) = 1,186[2][5]
- Alternate Configuration D (Luminos)
- A laser-boat variant, the Luminos features twin nose-mounted large pulse lasers supported by a trio of ER small lasers, one in the nose and each wing. BV (2.0) = 927[2][6]
- Alternate Configuration E (Eminus)
- A mixed longer ranged variant, the Eminus mounts a CASE protected light Gauss rifle supplied with a single ton of reloads in its nose, supported by an ER medium laser in each wing. BV (2.0) = 973[2][7]
