Description[edit]
The SwiftStar robotic interceptor is an aerospace fighter-sized drone unit in use by the Terran Hegemony at the beginning of the twenty-eighth century. Based on Caletra Fighters' Swift fighter, and largely replaced by the BlackWasp and VoidSeeker, the SwiftSeeker nonetheless was a capable interceptor, able to defeat many contemporary foes of its day. The SwiftStar was often paired with the Model 96C 'Howdah' tugs, and squadrons of these vessels were deployed throughout the Star League era.[4] Poor Robotic Control Systems and poor performance in the atmosphere ensured the SwiftStar gave way to larger, sturdier, and smarter drones of the BlackWasp line.[2]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The drone fighter's primary weapon is upgraded from the Swifts paltry loadout. Four medium pulse lasers, with two mounted in the nose of the fighter and one mounted in each of the wings, give the drone the attack ability of a larger frame.[1]
Variants[edit]
None.
Notes[edit]
