STANDARD FEATURES

• Tensor field generator
• Inertial compensator
• Watchtower collision avoidance system
• Cap drains
• Flare launcher (4 flares)
• Deflector shields
• Solar ionization reactor
• 6 Sabrina waste heat recovery devices
• ECM/ECCM suite

ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Advanced Targeting Computer

Strengths:

• Modularity of cabin
• Can resist ion/EMP attacks
• In endurance configuration, can drop bombs without need for resupply

Weaknesses:

• In standard configuration, limited ordnance
• In endurance configuration, unstable bomblet generator can take out the craft if the bomblet generator is fired too often (around 5 minutes of continuous operation)
• In endurance configuration, slow bombing rate of fire (1 full-power bomblet per every 20 seconds)

Description: It was discovered that the old Chiloon line of fighters had one glaring weakness: the low hyperdrive range, which limited its ability to carry out long-range missions such as the one undertaken in the Serenno campaign, where the Silver Jedi navy, with carriers on Ord Radama and Kushibah, entered long-range carrier operations. It also cost Ringo a contract to supply the ORC Navy as well. To address this, the Premion features a new hypermatter tank, capable of. In addition, it was found that the Chiloon-I's lack of particle shields made it a liability against enemies that heavily relied on projectile weapons to take out fighters. The Premion is offered in two configurations: the standard configuration, which carries one heavy bomb bay, and the endurance configuration, very similar to the Chiloon-II, with the same heavy bomblet generator that was liable to explode after around five minutes of continuous operation. For this reason, it is recommended to operate the bomblet generator with more than the minimum cooldown period.

With its modular cargo hold, both Premion variants can operate both as a fighter and as a shuttle for small-scale transportation, enabling to convert each unit from passenger to cargo in a matter of minutes, allowing it to carry any proportion of cargo and passengers, up to a limit of 10 passengers or 100 tons of cargo, Meanwhile, its handling characteristics are very similar to those of X-Wing fighters, so there is, in fact, no improvement over the old Chiloon line in terms of mobility and handling.

Consumables: 2 months
Crew: 1
Passengers: 10 (maximum)
Cargo capacity: 2 tons (with 10 passengers) - 100 tons (no passengers)
