OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
* Intent: A personal fighter for Getran Kross
* Image Source: Neeb-Cruiser-R04-408823931
* Canon Link: n/a
* Primary Source: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/RZ-2_A-wing_interceptor, Interceptor, swrpeu.freeforums.net/thread/75/42-arrow-interceptor)
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
* Manufacturer: (Kuat Drive Yards)
* Affiliation: Getran Kross
* Model: Nightedge Interceptor
* Production: Unique
* Material: Dura-steel and dura-steel armoring, starship parts
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
* Classification: Interceptor.
* Length: 9.5 meters
* Width: 3.5 meters
* Height: 3.1 meters
* Armament: Average
-4x laser cannons on extendable turrets placed across the ship.
-2x Concussive missile launchers on turrets at the front of the ship
-Heavy extendable cannon placed near the back (can aim forwards, slightly to either side, and up.)
* Defenses: Average
-Deflective shield generator
-Physical armor
* Maneuverability Rating: Extreme
The NightEdge has connected its generator to several more powerful thrusters across the ship then is typical for most crafts. This allows it to not only slow down from movement extremely quickly but completely alter direction at a moments notice allowing it to dodge missiles with ease and most blaster fire. This same system also lets it reorient itself mid-flight so that it’s main thrusters can take over again to outrun missiles or chase down it’s opponent.
* Speed Rating: Extreme
The NightEdge’s engines and propulsion systems allows it to reach speeds that are blinding to most other craft. While it’s main two engines at it’s rear offer the most power to the vehicle, the various thrusters across the craft actually allow it to fly entirely sideways or backwards at still pretty impressive speeds, or merely allow it’s inertia to keep it at high speeds and using the other thrusters to guide it.
* Hyperdrive Class: Average: 1
STANDARD FEATURES:
All Standard features.
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
-Computing assistance in flight
-Targeting system adapted for the greater speeds and movement.
-Hyperdrive equipped with computer and necessary systems for jumps.
-Some shielding and armor.
-4x laser cannons on extendable turrets placed across the ship.
-2x Concussive missile launchers on turrets at the front of the ship
-Heavy extendable cannon placed near the back (can aim forwards, slightly to either side, and up.)
-Sensor array to avoid blindspots and keep on target.
-Standard life systems.
-4x4 ft storage container for miscellaneous items.
-2x6 ft storage containers along the front running back.
-Communications system with encoding equipped
-Sensitive controls
-Autopilot systems that can be controlled with band remotely by pilot only.
-Additional thrusters for far greater maneuverability
-More powerful engine for greater speed.
Alpha Neural Network interface: One of the biggest reasons the ship was created, while it does possess basic controls, this are all often pushed back into place. Instead a port is available which Getran can connect directly to his cybernetics. This grants him all the information the ship is taking in, while also intricately controlling it’s every movement, and boosting his own Neural Network with its own computers to allow him more prolonged use of extreme effort while connected. This system allows him an instantaneous control of the ship superior to the vast majority of droids and autosystems and letting him compete on much higher skill levels due to the integration and advancement he has with the ship. When in use though Getran goes almost completely blind and numb, with only slight awareness of his body, as he has taken complete control of the ship.
Strengths:
-Powerful Computing assistance in flights
-The Evasive biter: Due to the NightEdges design on maneuverability and speed, it is extremely hard to catch and keep track of by other ships and even tracking missiles. This evasive advantage also makes it easy for it to do the reverse, and keep on the tail of an opponent, or attacking larger ships piece by piece.

-2x6 ft storage containers along the front running back.
-Communications system with encoding equipped
-Sensitive controls make it easy to change quickly.
-Autopilot systems can be controlled remotely.
-Alpha Neural Network interface permits enhanced control and sense of ship and combat.
-More powerful speed and maneuverability then original, including additional thrusters.
Weaknesses:
-Defenses: While acceptably armored against some shots from other fighters, and most land forces, the ship wouldn't be able to stand direct hits from most missiles or larger cannons.
-No room for a droid: Due to it's design it lacks the room for an astromech droid.
-Sensitive controls can be difficult for some species or untrained over exerted individuals to use.
-Numbed and semi-blinded eyes and body when using Alpha Neural Network.
-Even though the ship takes on some of Getran’s Neural Network’s efforts, he can still over heat, however it would take longer use of his full effort.
Description:
Consumables: Rations last approximately three days.
Crew: 1
Cargo Capacity:
-4x4 ft storage container for miscellaneous items.
-2x6 ft storage containers along the front running back.
The NightEdge Interceptor is Getran’s personal craft. Though based off of the Z-42 Arrow, it was altered and upgraded by Getran Kross and Gorum Erad. In particular this was done to allow the ship to connect to Getran’s Alpha Neural Network, allowing it to function on a much higher level than any amount of controls could allow and taking advantage of the systems that Getran already had. While it did not feature any additional shielding than the original, it did still feature more of an arsenal as Getran would be able to take advantage of all the weapons systems, rather than having to focus solely on the maneuverability and speed of the ship.
