Description:
The Furaribi-class Starfighter was based upon designs of the Saboath Starfighter as well as remnants of the Galactic Empire's modality of combat: overwhelming the enemy with superior force. In order to reduce production time and cost as well as allow for more powerful engine systems, the hyperdrive and shielding systems were removed from the design. Furthermore, the two laser cannons were replaced with ion cannons in order to allow the Furaribi to be used as a tool of enforcement, rather than combat.
An impressive starfighter for intercepting enemy starfighters, the Furaribi provides the crucial anti-starfighter capacities necessary in order to enforce effective system control, considering that the opponent simply has small vessels. In larger combat settings, due to the presence of more extensive anti-starfighter weapons on larger warships, the Furaribi loses its effectiveness and thus, falls out of favor from officers. Thus, the Furaribi has fallen into the role as an enforcer and patrol craft within secured systems.
The Furaribi-class Starfighter utilized strike-foils, similar to the T-65 X-Wing Starfighter, in order to allow it travel such immense speeds and utilize its weaponry simultaneously by dispersing excess heat. The strike-foils also provide atmospheric stability, allowing them to fly into atmospheres with the same maneuverability as they do in space. Without the strike-foils extended, the Furaribi can only use its medium ion cannons, which is usually sufficient for its purpose as a system patrol craft.
