2 drop-down perimeter defense blasrers. “Drop down” only viable when landing legs are deployed. Because they retract from the legs.

Micro complement
5 TIE defenders
Light Transport
Special Features:
S Foils: S. foils are the platform arms that extend on port and starboard of the Jaeger Class- corvette. They feature four weapon systems: a Single turbolaser a the tip of the foils and row a quad laser cannon. That become hidden when the s. Foils retreat in it's default form. When the foils extend in an atmosphere looses speed and maneuverability. The later also impacting it's performance in space.

**Note: The Speed and maneuverability rankings don't seem right to me.
Strengths:
Is faster than most other corvettes
Excels at frontal assault
Excellent shielding
Weaknesses:
Lightly armored (My intent. If the plating size doesn't seem that way let me know because this is my intent
The center of Port and star board are the weak points being lightly armed with single quad laser cannons and two rows of auto blasters the
vessel is very unsuited for barraging runs Forcing it into a constant rate of movement in capital ship warfare and relying on hit and run tactics. This also makes it most effective as a support or escort if anything.
Looses maneuverability in space when S foils are deployed.
Looses maneuverability in an atmosphere. This is increased if S foils are deployed.
Looses Speed in an atmosphere. This is increased if S foils are deployed.
Quad laser cannons are unable to be used when S Foils are retracted.
Foil retraction takes time.
Foils must be retracted to drop into hyperspace.
Cannot compete with corvettes of it's class.

The jaeger-class was designed with one combat tactic in mind: run and retaliate. The ship design was build for speed. Pumping three engine cluster featuring five ion sublight thrusts. These thrusters are capable of propelling the ship at speeds matching those of large starfighters. The design was eventually incorporated into a different tactics. One of planetary defense. The idea to maneuver and escape the yoke of a blockade and provide cover fire as well as flanking to help break up the blockade. The variable applications for it’s function never saw mass production. The ship is build for speed, feeding the five ion drives with a powerful reactor. At the same time the ship’s shield generators provide it with protection from fire as it prepares to enter hyperspace. However, if the ship enters combat it can create a deceiving assault.
Like the x-wing, Starviper and other ships of smaller size; the Jaeger class features two extendable foils. These foils are capable of locking into an attack position that allows the ship to become a heavly armed combat platform. This makes it an effective patrol craft or perfect fire support for escorting crafts of larger size. The main function of the the foils is to create an area of widespread blaster fire and retreat from or push through combat zones.
When it extends the foil ion engines(attached to the Turbolasers) are disabled reducing speed dramatically But revealing four heavy laser cannons and along with the foil's Turbolaser foil wingtips. To lock into this attack position(or to land for that matter) it take 38 .7 second to lock into it’s attack position. This leaves the vessel relying on it’s shield for defense until it can produce it’s weapons. In order for it to achieve speed once more it must retract these foils to connect the ion drive once more. Though it capable of entering hyperspace with damage to the foil: it must still retract them to drop into it: allowing it to "limp" away.
Featured areas and rooms:
In the fore most part of the upperdeck, just above the bridge are two suits and the captains quarters. The corridor attached to the escape pod chamber that acts as a nexus to the upper and lower decks. The center of the upper deck connects to the passengers quarters and crew quarters . On the aft of the upper deck is the general lounge and an observation deck above the hangar.
The Bridgedeck's bridge connects through a blast door. Outside of the blast door is the cockpit escape pod, and a turbolift leading down to the forward cargobay (for fast vehicle access). Past these allowing access to the ecappod tunnel and the rest of the bridge deck. Centered below the crew and passenger's quarters are 2 dedicated chamber rooms: Medical/science chamber and Storage Bay The aft of the jaeger-class gave access to the ships hangar.The lower deck has the foreward cargobay leading into the engineering corridor. Centered in the lowe belly is vehicular access that gives open access to the main cargohold and the loading ramp.
Development Thread: As I said with my orignal submission: this was my Character's default ship when I was transfered. I have done some up dating and refining since it was accepted last time and fixing it to fit in within the suggestions of this site. So, I have no qualms compleating a development thread .
Intent:
Model's intention and intention history
The original design of this block-aid runner was to provide mobile heavy weapons support with a limited fighters in tow : an escort with an escort. Designed like a forked needle the nine prototypes were though of that with it's speed and powerful frontal assault it is capable of escorting evacuation vessels through an atmosphere The vessels were to be assigned in pairs a single escape vessel: on-board star fighters would be launched before or when clearing from takeoff providing 10 extra escorts out of 2 vessels.
The idea however fell off Never reaching private manufacturing the design was reviewd and recycled. The basic s-foil design was kept and it's fighter complement Doubled. But it increased in size incorporating a hanger for a medium sized transport or dropship. With larger cargo bay, vehicle storage living space the ship's sharp design became organic and sly . This new design classified the ship as a cruiser.Fast infiltrator and effective patrol craft. It's physical design was base on the S-foil design of the Aggressor Assault Fighter.
For combat It is built for speed and lightly armored so mainly relies on it strong shield defense, infiltration speed and moderate maneuverability for defense. But if given the offense it becomes an effective combat platform. The manufacture’s intent on the ship is to provide a swift system infiltrator and long range scout but had some fire support ability.. It would have been best used as a military or diplomatic escort Development Thread: Ask if you want.
Who Can Use This: Limited- I would most likely ask for a roleplay interaction with your character
