Development History: The final ship designed specifically designed for the Imperial SS, Sienar didn't have an extraordinary task before them. The techs took the same style hull they had used for the Hurrikane and shrunk it, making it smaller in order to accommodate the single pilot. The engines and shields still fit directly behind the cockpit, and the sensor and communications equipment are still located in the nose. The big difference between this fighter and the Hurrikane, besides the lack of a rear turret, is the six laser cannons in the wings and the Interceptor-style solar panels. The other difference is that there is only one warhead launcher, located under the nose of the craft.
