Description: This is a TGG contracted modification of the CloakShape Fighter. The fighters large platform gave the Stellar Enterprises engineer and design team a lot of room to work with. Much of the standard equipment was scrapped from the start, leaving just an empty shell to work this.

All systems were replaced with newer more sophisticated electronics. To provide power, two slightly larger, yet more powerful generators were installed in the central hull section. Accompanying these generators within the central hull is a shield generator/projector as well as a hyperdrive unit. These both took up most of the crafts cargo bay.

Next, two new engines were installed and were pushed back a little towards the rear. These engines included magnetic thrust vector nozzels for increased maneuverablity. Two small thrusters on each of the wingtips were also added, giving the large fighter a much greater roll rate and response time.

The two belly laser cannon were replaced with newer heavy laser cannons. These lasers run almost along the whole the whole center of the fighter and provide it with a greater range and much improved accuracy. The very same laser cannons were also added to the top of the fighter's hull. Just like the others, they ran almost from the rear of the fighter and stoped just short of the cockpit.

To protect the fighter's rear a small two mode laser cannon was added at the rear, facing back. It was mounted on a servo and would be capable of 70 degree motion, both to port and starboard. A 30 degree pitch allowance was also added, giving the cannon the ability of firing up and above the fighter's flight angle. The cannon was linked to a small central droid brain unit, which can quickly track and target even missiles or torpedoes. The advanced brain unit was programmed to track a target and fire towards where the target would be as opposed to were it was at the moment.

The new dual mode laser cannon was able to be set for anti missile engagement or anti fighter mode. When switched to anti missile mode the cannon could fire off rapid low powered laser burst. These were not powerfull enough to hurt an enemy fighter, but were more than enough for the destruction of regular warheads. During fighter mode the cannon acted like a medium laser cannon and could make the enemy pilot's job much harder when going after the CloakShape.

Helping all these weapons systems is an SES-221B advanced targeting computer. It can track and identify a multitude of targets a long ranges. It is also feed with data gathered from sensor nodes placed all around the fighters hall, giving the craft a 360 degree battlefield view.

A targeting computer jammer was also added to the fighter's inventory, as well as a full ECM package for added protection. Both of these units combine to increase the fighter's survival rate in combat situations. They make it harder for fighters or warheads to lock on and track the CloakShape.

Upon the request of TGG the whole cockpit was cut out and replaced with an ejection unit. When the pilot ejects, the whole cockpit is fired away from the fighter. The ejection unit contains a small life support system and power unit. This is enough to keep the pilot alive for around two days. A small engine at the rear allows some flight and moment through space, but also makes for an easy target.

To finish off, all vital system were duplicated and the hull over them reinforced. The armor plating around the enlarged fuel tanks was thickened as was the armor around most of the central hull. This is were most of the vital system are located. All these modifications make this older fighter platform into a solid and modern multi-role fighter that could go head to head with some of the most advanced fighters in the galaxy.
