Material:
Classification: Fighter-Bomber
Length: 14 meters

Armament: (You may provide your armament in list format and must provide your vessel an Armament Rating on a scale of 0-20, where 0 is no weapons, 1 is very light weapons, 5 is light weapons, 10 is average weapons, and 20 is heaviest weapons. Armament Ratings are scaled in relation to the class of ship, meaning a Starfighter will not equate to a Destroyer. Armament Ratings provide only basic weaponry unless the ship also has a breakdown of weapons. Please link to all Factory Submissions used. Typically requires development: Anything above 16 for a max size vessel. Links: Starship Weapons, Approved Technology)
Defenses: (You may provide your shield and armor systems in list format and must provide your vessel an Defense Rating on a scale of 0-20, where 0 is a man in a space suit hanging on to an engine, 10 is typical defense, and 20 is heaviest defense with heavy plating and multiple layers of shields. Defensive Ratings are scaled in relation to the type of ship, meaning a Starfighter will not equate to a Destroyer. You should list particular systems under special features. Please link to all Factory Submissions used. Typically requires development: Anything above 16 for a max size vessel. Links: Starship Weapons, Approved Technology)

Substantial development threads can help judges approve more powerful submissions. If in doubt, put 'If necessary,' and a judge may or may not ask you for one. Threads cited here must be at least 10 quality posts and must be cited as the full thread title, no abbreviations.)(Restricted Items require specific development threads. The more posts, the more powerful the submission can be. Links: Banned & Restricted Items)

ADVANCED SYSTEMS
Long-range scanners
Long-range comms
Gravitic Amplitude Modulator
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/Gravitic Amplitude Modifier: Designed to penetrate allegedly impenetrable space, the ships have hand-built systems to maintain hyperspeed through interdiction fields and to revert back to hyperspace even while within interdiction fields.
• Focused Arsenal- The weapon system is designed around targeting large, well defended targets

Weaknesses:

• 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 three 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: The Iv'Irus only has a small shield generator for a deflector shield, making it vulnerable to capital ship based weaponry and missiles.
• Short-term engagements: Fighters are not equipped or designed for protracted engagements, making them disadvantageous for getting caught up in actual dogfights.

Description:
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. What he discovered was old Imperial technology used by the first Galactic Alliance- a gravitic modulator .

He 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 to what Roth had initially hoped.

This is what the bombs are for.

Goal: A versatile strike-fighter capable of multiple mission parameters for use by Force sensitive pilots, intending to counter the FO's preferred methods of engagement- battle lines, interdiction, capital ship focus.
