==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Issedone''''' is [[Clan Snow Raven]]'s first [[OmniFighter]], and may be the first OmniFighter ever created. Using the ''[[Spad]]'' [[aerospace fighter]] as a baseline allowed the Raven techs to create the fighter very quickly. It was a success as a technology demonstrator, but wasn't as effective as the ''[[Issus]]'' and ''[[Chaeronea]]s'' that were in service at the time. Despite its shortcomings, it served well for a century before being replaced by more capable designs.
+
The '''Issedone''' is a early Clan Light [[Omnifighter]] which was fielded during the [[30th Century]] by [[Clan Ghost Bear]].
 +
The Omnifighter is similar in the older [[Star League Defense Force|Star League]] Aerospace Fighter, the [[Spad]].
 +
Like it's likely precursor, the fighter was designed for the role of dogfighter.<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', p41 Issedone Light OmniFighter - Issedone information based on Record Sheet information</ref>
 +
 
 +
==Weapons and Equipment==
 +
Issedone is built to be swift fighter, being able push it's frame to maximum of 11 thrust with it's Fusion Engine. 
 +
The hull is protected by 7.5 tons of Standard Armor, giving it modest armor for a light weight fighter.
  
After they relocated to the [[Inner Sphere]], [[Clan Sea Fox]] resumed production of the ''Issedone'' for sale to [[Periphery]] nations and other smaller markets.
 
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Prime Configuration==
The ''Issedone'' can carry nine tons of pod-mounted equipment. The Prime configuration has a single [[large pulse laser]] mounted in the nose coaxially with a single [[ER medium laser]]. Two additional pod-mounted heat sinks bring the total up to 12. Though a fairly effective craft, a reckless pilot can quickly take enough damage to penetrate the fighter's seven and a half tons of armor.<ref name=trogc45>''Technical Readout: Golden Century'', p. 45</ref>
+
The Issedone's Prime Configuration has a single Large Pulse Laser coax with a single Extended-Range Medium Lasers.<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', p41 Issedone Light OmniFighter - Issedone stats from Record Sheet information</ref>  
  
 
==Alternate Configurations==
 
==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration has a mix of long range and short range weaponry mounted in the vehicle's nose. Its main firepower comes from an [[ER large laser]], backed up by an [[LRM-10]] with a single ton of ammunition, protected by [[CASE]]. Rounding out the A's arsenal is a single [[ER small laser]]. A single additional pod-mounted heat sink brings the total number of heat sinks to 11. BV (2.0) = 1,084<ref name=trogc45/>
+
*;Alt. Config. A : The A Configuration has mix long range and short range weaponry mounted in the vehicle's nose. It's main bulk of its firepower comes from it's ER Large Laser. Backing the laser up, is a [[LRM 10|10-Tubed Long-Range Missile Launcher]] with single ton of ammunition protected by [[CASE]]. Rounding out the A's arsenal is a single [[ER Small Laser|Extended Range Small Laser]]. BV2=1,084<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', p42 Issedone Light OmniFighter - Issedone A information based on Record Sheet information</ref>  
  
*; Alternate Configuration B : Primarily a flying missile boat, the B's firepower is provided by an [[LRM-10]] in each wing. The launchers have two tons of ammunition for 24 volleys of fire, with the ammo bins protected by [[CASE]]. The aircraft has only two [[ER medium laser]]s to back up the launchers: one mounted in the nose and one mounted in the rear. BV (2.0) = 1,095<ref name=trogc45/>
+
*;Alt. Config. B : Primary a Missile flying missile boat, the B's firepower is from it's wing mounted Ten-tubed Long-Range Missile Launchers, mounted in each of its wings. The launchers have two tons of ammunition for twenty four volleys of fire which are protected by CASE. The aircraft has only two ER Medium lasers to back up the launchers, one mounted in the nose and one mounted in the rear. BV2=1,095<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', p43 Issedone Light OmniFighter - Issedone B information based on Record Sheet information</ref>  
  
*; Alternate Configuration C : Apparently introduced by Clan Sea Fox, this configuration seems to be intended for support roles. The nose and each wing carry [[Modular Armor]], providing more protection. The nose also carries an [[ER small laser]] and [[light TAG]] system, while each wing carries a pair of [[micro pulse laser]]s. For electronic warfare support the ''Issedone'' C carries an [[ECM suite]] and two rear-firing [[chaff pod]]s sourced from Inner Sphere vendors. BV (2.0) = 704<ref name=trogc45/>
 
  
*; Alternate Configuration D : Another Sea Fox creation, this configuration uses a [[ProtoMech AC/8]] with a ton of ammunition as its main weapon. This is supported by four [[ER small laser]]s in the nose, while another ER small laser covers the fighter's rear arc. BV (2.0) = 753<ref name=trogc45/>
+
==Notes==
 +
*Issedone was first released in Turning Points: Tokasha, which did not have any significant information on it's operational history or it's permanent image. As of this writing, the image used was originally used for [[TRO:2750]]'s ''[[Spad]]'', which the it is believed the Issedone is based on. Record Sheet released cites the forethcoming [[Technical Readout: Golden Age]], being source material of the OmniFighter.<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', pp40-42 Issedone Light OmniFighter - Issedone Record Sheet information indicate the main sourcematerial is TRO: Golden Age</ref>  
  
==Notes==
+
*As of this writing, the Issedone has no listing on the [[Master Unit List]].
* The ''Issedone'' was first released in ''Turning Points: Tokasha'', which did not have any significant information on its operational history or its permanent image.
