- Heavy ordinance onboard, with diverse modes for damage output.
- Extreme manuverability, giving an edge to pilots in dog fights.
- Astromech co-pilot compatibility, easing the workload of the pilot.
- Increased resistance to Ion/EMP weaponry.
- Flares on board to combat missiles.
- Kinetic shielding onboard to midigate the vessels high vulnerability to kinetic weaponry.
- 'Sarutaya' Engine SLAM: "Negating the need for a separate repulsor engine while integrating a scramjet booster and a SLAM system as well as stealth features, the engine is incredibly versatile. Small craft it is mounted on need not install secondary repulsor systems, and the scramjet booster and SLAM give them the ability for sudden bursts of speed in atmosphere or in space."
- Difficult for NFU pilots.
- Low kinetic resistance, especially vulnerable to direct hits from missiles. Increased risk should shielding fail.
- Ion/EMP weaponry, should on-board shielding be unable to take on the damage, will ground the vessel.
- Astromech is required to function the vessel at full capacity.
The original Epo-1 starfighter designed in the likeness of the Eta-2 Actis-Class Light Interceptor, designed by Jasper Kai'el in collaboration with Valkeri Enterprises with the intention of serving as an adaptable vessel for scouting, collaborative navigation, and personal use. Jasper Kai'el would make an updated design with salvaged tech from the fallen Tingel Arm Coalition, utilizing tech from Si Tech and Breshig War Forge Consolidated. The original Epo-1 sought to utilize the unique senses of Jedi to facilitate the highest levels of speed and maneuverability to overwhelm in dog fights or quickly evade hostile starfighters. Unique to the Epo-1, the wings are capable of rotating 45 degrees around the cockpit in either direction, increasing evasion capabilities during flight. The fighter being as fast and articulating as it is makes it particularly hard for NFU pilots to master, as the vessel was designed with the innate instincts of force sensitive pilots in mind. Testing of the Epo-1 Delta-class Light Interceptor was preformed on the moon of Sellia II at it's Jedi Praxeum.
Echo Athoth received this starfighter while undergoing her padawan training with the New Jedi Order, where she learned how to pilot space-fairing vessels. After a short stent where the vessel was recalled for upgrades Echo is now able to fly across the galaxy once again. This Epo-1 has a striking blue-scale pattern that makes it identifiable as her ship.
