Description[edit]
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 fighters in the Clan toumans.[3]
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, Cloud Cobras and 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.[3]
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 sinks, far too few given the volume of energy weapons the design now carries.[3]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
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.[3]
Variants[edit]
A number of variants of the Issus have been created over the length of its existence, such as swapping pulse lasers for extended range models.
- Issus 2
- A modern variant developed by Clan Snow Raven, the Streak missile launcher is replaced with a multipurpose ATM-9, and the ER large lasers are exchanged for a single heavy large laser with an additional ER medium laser.[3] BV (1.0)= 1,418[6] BV(2.0)=1,722[7]
- Issus 3
- Introduced during the Jihad this configuration carries an ER large laser in the nose and an ER medium laser in each wing. The rest of the weapon space has been replaced with an infrared imager and a high-resolution imager for reconnaissance purposes. BV(2.0)=1,184[8]
Custom Variants[edit]
- Issus Erika
- This custom variant simply removes the two ER medium lasers and adds a ton of fuel and additional armor. BV (1.0) = 1,500[9]
