Strengths:
- Versatile Role - The inclusion of a third missile launcher means that the OS-G1 can function as a light bomber, giving fleets additional firepower
- Poor Endurance - As it only has two laser cannons, once the OS-G1 has expended its missile stores, it becomes markedly less effective in engagements until it docks with a carrier to resupply.
The X1 Project is the line of starfighters designed by Omega's Fondor shipyards to be their mainstay line of mass-produced starfighters intended for general purpose. Designed using similar parts and systems across the range, tweaking individual parts only to fit the starfighter's role, each is intended to be a high-performance machine emphasizing speed over armor durability. High-capacity shield generators increase a pilot's chances of survival, balancing out the fighters' toughness. Each X1 starfighter has an inbuilt astromech droid, which can be removed by an access panel near the rear of the ship; this reduces the chance of it being damaged in the middle of combat.
The Guardian, also known as the G-One, is a general-purpose starfighter and light bomber. Intended to operate in full squadrons, the G1 is designed primarily as a space superiority fighter. Its expanded missile capacity gives it a ferocious edge over most enemy fighters, while also allowing the G1 to function as a light bomber when circumstances require it. Care should be taken, however, as the heavier reliance on missile weaponry for combat means the G1 has poor combat endurance compared to other general starfighters.
