==Description==
 
==Description==
Originally called the ''Stooping Raven'' until [[ilKhan]] [[Victoria Ward]]'s [[Uniform Designation Protocols]], the modern '''''Issus''''' is one of the most common second-line [[aerospace fighter]]s in the [[Clan]] ''[[touman]]s''.<ref name=TRO3067-162-163/>

Developed by [[Clan Snow Raven]] and first entering service in the early years of the [[Golden Century]], the ''Issus'' appears in all Clan ''toumans'', with a number even falling into the hands of the [[Dark Caste]], but is most common among the Ravens, [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Cloud Cobras]] and [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bears]]. Small numbers of the ''Issus'' were also among the first "gifts" offered to the [[Alliance Military Corps]] during the Snow Raven's move into the [[Outworlds Alliance]].<ref name=TRO3067-162-163/>

While lacking the performance of designs of the same weight such as the ''[[Batu]]'' [[OmniFighter]], the ''Issus'' is still reasonably fast and agile, yet much cheaper to produce thanks to its use of a 240-rated [[fusion engine]]. The modern ''Issus'' is clad in five tons of Raven [[ferro-aluminum]] [[Comp B]] armor and mounts 12 [[double heat sink]]s, far too few given the volume of energy weapons the design now carries.<ref name=TRO3067-162-163/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
Impressively armed for its weight, the ''Issus'' caries a [[Series 6b]] [[ER large laser]] and [[SEP-Class]] [[ER medium laser]] in each wing supported by the nose-mounted [[Pattern J7]] [[Streak SRM-6]] with one ton of reloads and a [[Series 1b]] [[ER small laser]]. While allowing the craft to operate with minimal logistical support, the large volume of lasers carried by the modern ''Issus'' are somewhat hampered by the fact its heat-dissipation systems haven't been upgraded to match.<ref name=TRO3067-162-163/>
