General Purpose Concussion Missile Launchers
Forward or Down at a fourty five degree angle
On either side of the cockpit, between it and the engines, capable of turning down at a 45 degree angle for bombing runs.

Sublight Speed: 120 MGLT-Cruise, 180 MGLT-Attack, 200 MGLT-Fleeing, all power (except for 20 SBD for shields) transferred to engines
Atmospheric Speed: 100 MGLT-Cruise, 120 MGLT-Attack, 175 MGLT-Fleeing
Hyperdrive Speed: x1
Manuverability: Extremely manuverable, especially in a windy atmosphere, because of the low cross section, so it won’t be blown around
Shields: 110 SBD
Hull: 90 RU

NOTES:

I simply took the Hapan Dragon and Griffin fighters, multiplied the stats on a Dragon by two, and then added the stats for the Griffin to that. That would be a total of 8m. The other two meters I am using to add a hyperdrive, pilot and keep my speed at 150 MGLT. I also took off all missile countermeasures.


Joint Ion Cannon and Laser Cannon
A turret with an Ion Cannon and a Rapid Fire Laser Cannon on it.


MINI-Concussion Missiles:
Small concussion missiles that are set on a proximity fuse(usually four enemy fighters). Has lots of shrapnel in it, and is used when the Saber Assault Bomber/Space Superiority Fighter is being used against enemy fighters.


Class A Thermal Detonators: These are cannon. They have a 20m blast radius. The General Purpose Concussion Missile Launcher ejects the Thermal Detonators out of the fighter and down at the target. This makes it useful in space where there is no gravity to pull it down.


Description:
This fighter was designed to be used by the Cren, because due to their numerous arms and heads, they can use all the weapons at once, making it a very excellent fighter. It will be used in space and ground combat. When they are planned to be sent after a ground target, the payload will be a total of 6 Concussion Missiles and 20 Thermal Detonators. When they are sent out after capital ships, their payload will be a total of 10 Concussion Missiles. When sent out on anti-starfighter duty it will be 20 MINI-Concussion Missiles, or a combination of 10 MINI Concussion Missiles and 6 Concussion Missiles. They are so fast and manuverable that they can be sent out, one wing dedicated to bombing, and the other dedicated to anti-starfighter duties. If the situation arose and there wasn’t any starfighters, the second wing could also strafe the targets. The Saber Assault Bomber/Space Superiority Fighter can be sent into combat and expected to return intact.
