Strengths:
Seeing the First Order and Sith Empire use interdiction as both a strategic and tactical weapon on economic and tactical levels, Roth began thinking of ways to maintain the Alliance's fighter superiority status and their larger pool of Jedi pilots. With that in mind, he reached out to his family, including his cousin Aeshi, who suggested using HIMS, which she had used to solid effect in previous incidents. However, once deactivated, it has issues. It was the starting point for Roth and he began researching.
He, working with SoroSuub R&D engineers, was able to connect these technologies on a frame, but it took significant amounts of time to effectively integrate the systems. Working out a way to switch power from one to the power was the primary challenge, but once that was resolved, Roth sifted through the available armament and connected them, with a simple pair of linked laser cannons for fighter defense, but the rest of the weaponry focused on crippling high-value targets in a blistering fast hit-and-run strikes, with the four ships emptying their arsenal into a concentrated area of a target, and then escaping.
However, as the Great Galactic War ground on, Alliance resources were spread thinner and thinner, with research priorities continually shifting. As a result, the first eight prototypes were never finished until the very end of the war, preventing any chance of them being used as effectively as Roth had hoped.
- Intent: Design a hit-and-run strike fighter to cripple high value targets while leveraging the instinctive abilities of Force-sensitive pilots, also use the cutting edge technology deployed too late at the end of the war,

HIMS
Strengths:
- Maneuverable: designed for experienced Force sensitive pilots capable of instinctive astrogation, the ship sacrifices defenses and life-support for high speeds and maneuverability
- HIMS: Designed to penetrate allegedly impenetrable space, the ships have hand-built systems to maintain hyperspeed through interdiction fields
- Focused Arsenal- The weapon system is designed around targeting large, well defended targets
- No life-support: In order to most effectively use the power, there is no in-built life-support system, necessitating self-sustaining sealed flight-suits.
- Two-person crew: the craft requires a team of two to operate effectively (1 pilot and 1 gunner)
- Cannot operate independently: While capable of long range missions, the Iv'Irus requires a headquartered carrier or pocket carrier for fuel, rearmament, and to maintain the incredibly sophisticated systems.
- Lightly Defended: Sacrificing defense for greater speed and maneuverability, the Iv'Ivrus lacks a shield of any sort.
- Short-term engagements: Fighters are not equipped or designed for protracted engagements, making them disadvantageous for getting caught up in actual dogfights.
- Divert power: To operate the HIMS, power must be diverted away from weapons and shields in order for it to function.
