Intent: To create a light interceptor for use on Asahian carrier ships
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Tanaka Orbital Shipyards
Model: Iguru-class Interceptor
Affiliation: Asahi
Modularity: Yes, the Heavy Laser Cannons can be swapped for two standard laser cannons and two hard points on the underside for 2 small, 80kg bombs (bombs can be modular between known bomb types of that size)
Production: Mass
Material: Durasteel, Transparisteel, and other starfighter building materials[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Description: The Iguru-class Interceptor is the pinnacle of Asahian engineering and anti-fighter role craft.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]The Iguru trades missile weaponry and the extra weight of ammunition for a pair of heavy laser cannons, giving the Interceptor a much needed “bite” against more heavily armored starfighters. The design features two variants labeled A and B. The A variant features the standard dual heavy laser cannons and is designed to engage enemy starfighter craft. B variant drops the heavy cannons for two standard cannons, but features two hardpoints capable of carrying a small, 80kg bomb each. The warheads are variable, ranging from standard high explosives to energy warheads. This allows the Iguru to be pressed into service to combat enemy ships in an emergency or, more commonly, to add more versatility to the design when combating ground targets. Regardless of the loadout, the Iguru is both agile and fast, capable of keeping pace with most known starfighters and interceptors.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]The downsides of the craft are typical of interceptors. The fighter features very little armor and no shielding, which makes the craft an easy kill. Also, because of the lack of missiles, the fighter requires a moderately skilled pilot to directly engage enemy targets with the laser cannons rather than rely on missile target locks.
