- SLAM approach - While not as impressive as the SLAM drive on the interceptor model, the SLAM system on the fighter bomber allows them to be deployed and reach their target rapidly
- Tough ship - for its size and intended purpose it is heavily armoured and has multiple shield emitters
- Very expensive - the ship is only fielded in relatively small squadrons due to the costly nature of the ship
- Carries a lot of ordnance - any ship carrying this amount of ordnance in a small frame means fatal blows can often cause catastrophic explosion, reducing crew survival rates compared to more lightly armed vehicles.
The Phoenix is designed to be a potent strike craft and ground support ship while retaining a good measure of ability in ship to ship dogfights. It is not as agile, or as fast as the interceptor variant, but packs significantly more firepower.
The three man crew is well protected behind layered armour and advanced shields. The ship has full life support and hyperdrive capability and enough space for a weeks consumables for the whole crew. These luxuries were demanded by the navy that made the original purchase and are considered excessive by many forces as they add to the cost. Behind the cockpit is a docking location for an astromech droid that can perform a lot of the ships functions if necessary.
The ship is also designed to be more aerodynamic than a lot of contemporary ships, allowing it to maintain its high performance whilst in atmosphere. This means it can perform lightning strikes on ground targets, with some particularly aggressive squadrons using their SLAMs in atmosphere to evade anti-air fire while launching their bomlets against ground targets.
