DESCRIPTION
Zenva, desiring a secure means of transporting herself across the Galaxy without needing to muster an entire Capital Ship in order to do so, has set about creating her own personal Stealth Ship. Starting with the designs for a Gunship from her company's portfolio, she modified it into something uniquely suited to her exacting requirements. Not much of a Pilot in her own mind, she took a group of Vrotoa Industries Series One Marine Droids and had them programmed specifically to operate her new Ship. Finally she added a dedicated Jasper Series Repair Droid to maintain the ship and it's synthetic crew for her.

The modifications however, had only just started. Survivability being paramount to the Archon Elite's purpose, the very materials used to build the ship have been altered. Two layers of Quadanium Steel surrounding a honeycombed Superstructure of Impervium support beams now serves as the Ship's main Armor. Internally, the ship is built from Durasteel instead of lighter Alusteel. The Elite Class has an additional Shield Generator System, and it's defensive Weapons have been replaced by Four (4) Point Defense Lasers and Four (4) Repeating Ion Cannons.

The Elite's weapons have been at once simplified and complicated. The previous mixture of weapon has been replaced by Four individually controlled Twin Laser Cannons. While their fire arch is somewhat limited, only able to traverse -20° behind the Midship Line, they are able to engage targets within 90° of their center line. The former Missile Tubes have been replaced by Flex Tube versions, allowing the Elite Class to utilize multiple types of Missiles. The final alteration of the Weapons Systems was the inclusion of a Mine Layer and a small selection of ordinance.

The final series of modifications changed the Archon Gunship into an Elite Stealth Ship. Gypsy Engines, Cloaking Devices, decoy systems, and more give the Archon Elite the ability to escape nearly any unfavorable situation, or approach targets while virtually invisible. Some of these Stealth Systems require the Weapons Systems and a number of smaller systems to be deactivated in order to operate properly. A risk that Zenva considered well worth the ability to travel the galaxy unseen. As a final touch, the former Hanger Bay containing an Escort Fighter has been replaced with a Freight Elevator for loading and unloading Zenva's personal Land Speeder.
