[SIZE=10.5pt]Capital Ship Hunter[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]:[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] The KH1 is a single role starfighter, built to launch in packs and attack capital ships with its' impressive weapon build out. The K-Wing flies straight at less maneuverable capital ships, exploiting their weaknesses and wreaking destruction with devastating bombing runs. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Ease of Production[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]:[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] Designed to be above all things very easy and cost effective to produce, the KH1 is seen in large numbers throughout the outer rim. Even system with relatively modest income sources could potentially field a few K wings.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Easy Prey[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]: The KH1 has little speed or maneuverability, it has no rear guns and very relies on its thick armor and strong shields to survive. Without fighter support they become easy prey to fast moving interceptors and fighters. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Officially marketed as a system patrol vessel intended to be sold to system defense forces and other paramilitary groups, the KH1 is a thinly veiled attempt to disguise military hardware as civilian surplus. In fact the minds behind the KH were deeply connected with the exiled Galactic Alliance government now in hiding deep in the Outer Rim Territories. As what remains of the Alliance Defense Fleet withered away under attrition, the KH1 was commissioned to serve as a replacement craft for a government which could no longer afford the multiple capital ships it once did but instead have turned to hit and run tactics with wolf packs of assault fighters to counter small to medium sized capital ships. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Two Astromech are needed to pilot this craft properly, one to replace expensive nav computers and one to act as a bombardier. Cheap to build, cheap to maintain, easily replaceable for a resistance outfit on a budget, it is hoped it can be fielded in numbers to fill the gaps left by the lack of small capital craft, and aid in taking down medium to large capital ships.
