Description[edit]

A member of the VoidSeeker family, the VoidSeeker Interceptor is the direct descendant of the Mk.30 BlackWasp robotic aerospace fighter. Intended to operate as part of an SDS, the VoidSeeker Interceptor is equipped with a Shielded Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System that allows it to operate as well as the veteran pilots of the Star League Defense Force. The advanced control system also provides the VoidSeeker Interceptor with electronic shielding equivalent to a Guardian ECM suite, which interferes with enemy targeting system, making the VoidSeeker Interceptor much harder to hit. The VoidSeeker Interceptor carries six tons of fuel, allowing it to remain on station for a long time.[2]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

Designed to combat aerospace fighters, the VoidSeeker Interceptor is equipped with a single ER large laser for long-range fire while a pair of large pulse lasers provide the main hitting power. These are backed up by twin medium lasers. This provides more than enough firepower to seriously damage any opposing aerospace fighter. A Beagle active probe allows the drone to identify priority targets and feed information to the controlling system.[2]

Variants[edit]

The VoidSeeker Interceptor does not have any direct variants, but it does share its engine, airframe, and control system with the VoidSeeker Striker.[2]
