- Hyper-Maneuverability: Designed with extreme maneuverability as a primary objective, The Ballerina is a small and extremely agile craft which is capable of executing dazzling maneuvers at intense speed. This feature is especially beneficial during dogfights, allowing the Ballerina to dance around enemy craft so as to quickly obtain a favorable position in a dogfight. In order to ensure the health and lucidity of the pilot under these maneuvers, the Ballerina possesses an outsized inertial compensation system.
- Acceleration: Further augmenting it’s dogfighting capabilities, the Ballerina also features powerful acceleration, allowing the craft to rapidly recover energy and speed during extended periods of hard maneuvering. The Ballerina’s robust acceleration shines particularly in atmosphere, allowing the pilot to more confidently engage in aggressive maneuvers which would otherwise quickly sap energy were they piloting a lesser craft.
- SLAM: Usage of the Ballerina’s SLAM comes at the expense of maneuverability, in exchange for higher potential top speed. In addition, extended use of the system will drain power faster than it can be replenished, forcing the pilot to divert power from other systems, such as weapons and shields, in order to maintain it over long periods. SLAM will also nullify most of the stealthy capabilities of the Ballerina.
- Armament: Sacrificing armament for hyper-maneuverability and violently powerful acceleration, the Ballerina can only carry a maximum of four missiles within it’s internal hardpoints. In essence, the ability of the Ballerina to engage targets at longer ranges for extended periods of time is very limited, due to its dearth of ordnance.
The Phase I “Ballerina” Star Interceptor is an advanced fighter intended for interception, space (and air) superiority duties, and air-to-air operations. In the early stages of production, the Ballerina was initially intended to serve as a mainline interceptor for the Armada. However, because of the craft's hyper-maneuverability, it was considered to be unsuitable for standard pilots, and was instead designated as an 'advanced-grade' fighter exclusively for selected pilots.
The craft's most prominent features include hyper-maneuverability, a powerful sensor suite, energy shields, and a universal missile/warhead launcher which can launch a variety of different types of warheads. To aid in pilot survivability, the canopy of the craft can break off to act as an ejection pod. Perfunctory thrusters/repulsorlifts which are just powerful enough to propel the pod to a nearby planet and to execute a safe landing also act as significant boons to pilot survival and recovery.
