[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Cren Munitions Fire – class MINI Concussion Missile Launcher:[/size][/font]
[size=3][font=Times New Roman] <o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]A new style missile launcher specifically designed to combat small enemy fighter craft. It can only fire Cren Munitions Fire – class MINI Concussion Missiles. In this case it has 10 missiles available to it.[/size][/font]
[size=3][font=Times New Roman] <o:p></o:p>[/font][/size]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Cren Munitions Fire – class MINI Concussion Missiles:
Small concussion missiles with increased speed that are set on a proximity fuse (usually four enemy fighters). Has lots of shrapnel in it, and is used when the Swift Space Superiority Fighter is being used against enemy fighters. However can also be targeted against a specific fighter or detonated on command.
[/size][/font]
[size=3][font=Times New Roman][color=gray]Cren Munitions Destroyer – class General Purpose Projectile Launchers:
Each launcher has 5 missiles available for its use. For the SSSF it is usually just 5 Cren Munitions Advanced Concussion Missiles, although it can have that amount spread out between the other missiles.<o:p></o:p>[/font][/size][/color]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=gray]Cren Munitions Advanced Concussion Missiles (ACM):[/size][/font][/color]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=gray]These are newly designed missiles that can be fired from pretty much any concussion missile launchers (advanced, heavy, normal, etc.) which has the same payload of the standard advanced concussion missile but has an increased speed.
Cren Munitions Advanced Diamond Boron Missiles (DBM):[/size][/font][/color]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=gray]These are standard Diamond Boron Missiles except they are produced by Cren Munitions. Currently Cren Munitions is experimenting in new missiles designs using ideas from the Diamond Boron Missile.
Cren Munitions “Sleeper” Harpoons (SH):[/size][/font][/color]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=gray]These look like standard Cren Munitions Advanced Concussion Missiles and travel at the same speed as them. However their payload is quite different than that of a normal missile. They are equipped with a super powered plasma torch on the front, which will fire into a ships hull, damaging it before the missile impacts, punching through the weakened armour and ending up with its “nose” inside the corridor or room (wherever it hits). The nose will then explode releasing an extremely powerful knockout gas named “Sleeper Agent 05” which will nock out any and all known species in a matter of seconds (3 seconds for average human). Sleeper Agent 05 will also spread throughout the ship in the immediate area. However it is ineffective against shields and will generally be used after the shields have been brought down but just prior to a boarding.
Cren Munitions Sonic Missiles (SM):[/size][/font][/color]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=gray]These are quite similar to standard Cren Munitions Advanced Concussion Missiles, although they travel at a slightly slower speed than them, instead traveling at the speed of a normal concussion missile. Their payload is different than that of a normal missile. They are equipped with a sonic warhead, which is unaffected by ray or particle shields and is quite effective against the hull of a vessel. The missile travels forward and impacts on the ships particle shield, causing a little damage, but not too much. However the sonic warhead than explodes, creating blast wave that travels, unimpeded by the shields, to impact on a ships hull, causing severe damage. While the Cren Munitions scientists originally wanted to have the missiles given diamond boron plating, it was deemed to expensive and costly, so that idea was dropped, at least for now (OOC: plus that just wouldn’t be fair).[/size][/font][/color]
[size=3][font=Times New Roman]Description:
[color=gray]The Galactic Coalition Research and Development, Starfighter Department designed the Swift - class Space Superiority Fighter (SSSF) in association with numerous companies, including Second Wave Technologies, ComTech, Cren Sensors and Munitions, Mon Quarren Shipworks, Aqualish Shielding Systems and Anoat Engines. Emanon Computing also provided lots of help in this project, constructing most of the computers used in this starfighter. This participation from numerous companies allows each to lend their specific expertise to the project, meaning that the end product is the best that the Coalition could offer its pilots.

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]The SSSF was designed as a replacement for the SAB/SSF and indeed is essentially just an upgraded and improved SAB/SSF with more modern technology in it and a new name. The weapons systems and shields were taken out, weapons being replaced with newer style weapons with better targeting computers and general all-around improvements. Its communication systems and sensors were upgraded with the newest and best available. The old shield systems were ripped out and replaced with smaller, low level Aqualish Shielding JC-4 Shields, as well as Second Wave Technologies Pulse Shields.[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=3]The SSSFs are extremely fast and manoeuvrable and can be expected to keep up, even past the fastest ships currently in the Empire’s arsenal and more than capable of dealing with any kind of pirate fighters. Their manoeuvrability means that they don’t need to rely as much on shields to stay alive, and the Pulse Shields and hull can address what reliance they might have on shields. The SSSF can be expected to enter a combat zone and return intact.[/size][/font]
Thread to be the same one as used for the Saber Assault Bomber.
