ADVANCED SYSTEMS
Mandibles: Two large ends connected to the main hull are the main form of attack for the ship, these each house 1 ion cannon and 1 large laser cannon on each mandible, and can rotate around the entire ship, but are defaulted to the front when flying. In between the laser cannon and ion cannons are additional propulsion parts, which allow the ship to increase its speed considerably, in the direction opposite the cannons. This allows sudden changes in direction (though not sideways), as well as the ability to fly in any direction easily, and much faster take offs and landings.
Strengths:
-Powerful armament on mandibles allows the ship to take on bigger opponents then iself, and was specifically designed to serve as enemies to enemy carriers, frigates, and other mid to large enemies. The addition of attachable proton bombs allows them to much more directly impact the enemies they cannot take down with their mandible mounted laser and ion cannons.
-Ion cannons designed to disable enemies, while the Laser cannons take them down.
-Can rotate mandibles to aim in any direction from front to back and around, but not sideways. These allow surprise and malleable attacking positions, as they can fire beneath them while flying over at full speed. But also using the propulsion system in the mandibles, can allow them to change directions quickly and move much more swiftly then with just their main engines.
-Due to the high speed and maneuverability of them they can be very difficult to hit
Weaknesses:
-Aiming: While it’s very easy to hit larger ships, it may be more difficult to take on other fighters of similar speed and maneuverability. As the mandibles can only go around the ship in one direction, and not sideways, limiting how they use them and requiring spinning or more creative movements to keep up with pilots who use full range of movement.
-Defenses: The fighters have rather basic defenses, and most ships that can hit them can take them down, just so long as they make contact.
-Proton bomb limitation: They can only hold 3 proton bombs, additionally, these are on the exterior of the ship. So if someone could manage to take these out (assuming they are attached) they could damage the whole ship.
Description:
While the Dathomir Collective’s ships are still primarily formed of bought ships, rather then ships made by their company Venas Mor, their efforts to create their own functional navy has not ceased. The VM Mavarian is an example of this, in their opinion a rather basic ship, the VM Mavarian is a multipurpose starfighter that has higher firepower than most starfighters do, specifically designed to take down bigger opponents then itself. These are 2 Ion and 2 laser cannons attached to “Mandibles” which can rotate around the ship, which also have propulsions systems. They are powerful enough to pose a threat against most, and the addition of propulsion systems in them also allows the ship a much higher speed and maneuverability than similarly armed ships. Their biggest disadvantages however are other swift moving fighters that have better maneuverability, and their lower defenses which features a weak shield and a durasteel hull.
Crew:
1 pilot
Co-pilot (optional)
