Cockpit: Similar to the design of the X-wings cockpit, it’s mounted directly above the engine system and allows the pilot a good view through the wing pylons. The main body of the ship is 2.5 meters of the total length and houses the engines, shields, and other necessary systems.

Wings: Set at 135 degree angles with the hull, the wings stick out the remaining 5 meters of the meterage. There are four of them located on the ship and they hold the laser cannons on them. The design is based off of the Tie Defender but designed to be a better fighter in the small forward and aft target.

Special Equipment: Because of the wing design, the pilot has a blind spot at the rear of the craft. In order to compensate this, a small space usable camera is mounted at the rear of the craft. The feed from the camera goes into an eyepiece that the pilot wears over his left eye. This way he can effectively watch his blind spot. However, seeing as the view from a camera is conic, there are still two blind spots on either side of the craft. They are just a lot smaller.

The Cardigan fighter is designed to be a space superiority fighter whose main goal is to destroy enemy fighter craft. While it does not hold and missile launchers or proton torpedo tubes, the vessel is fast and well suited to close quarters combat instead of attacking capital ships like the Rapyir Starfighter.
