STRENGTHS
- High Speed - The Erinyes' greatest strength is its speed - often out pacing similar vessels as a means to defend itself rather than relying on heavy armor plating.
- Targeting Computer - Due to the vessel's speed and difficulty in maintaining its movements, these interceptors are equipped with specialized targeting computers to aid the pilot in acquiring and firing upon enemy starfighters more easily.
- Fire-Linked Armaments - The Erinyes Interceptors are equipped with a fire-linked system which allows the blaster cannons to be synced while firing.
WEAKNESSES
- Lack of Armor - The Erinyes class Interceptor has limited armor plating - which would otherwise cut down its speed - thus trading off additional protections for speed.
- No Life Support - Much like the old TIE Fighter series fielded by Palpatine's Empire, the Erinyes lacks any kind of life support system. Those pilots that are behind the controls of these interceptors thus must utilize pressure sealed flight suits and life support systems to survive while piloting the starfighter.
DESCRIPTION
Looking back upon history - the Erinyes class Interceptor is a starfighter whose design is greatly influenced by the designs of the much older TIE/LN and TIE/In Starfighters that were often massive produced and deployed during the reign of Palpatine's Empire. Lacking much in the way of armor plating, a hyperdrive or even basic life support systems - requiring that pilots wear pressurized flight suits while in the cockpit - they are focused primarily on speed rather than durability. Each Interceptor is equipped with four fire-linked blaster cannons, allowing the pilot to fire all weapons in sync as needed during combat. Furthermore; due to the high speeds that these fighters can travel at, they are equipped with additional targeting computers to aid pilots in acquiring enemy targets. This is so the pilot can focus more on flying and keeping the vessel in line rather than worrying about taking a random sharp turn while attempting to acquiring a target.
