Description: With the creation of the ROPP, it became necessary to also create a fighter capable of working with it. Ignus Black, once the ROPP was completed, quickly set about accomplishing this task. The goal was the creation of the Radial Drone Fighter, a ship with excellent maneuverability and speed, but lacking in hyperdrive capabilities, and having a remotely standard armament by comparison to most starfighters of the time period. Of course, the problem was always going to be resolved by a quite costly system. Adding in the components to make it compatible with the ROPP, essentially a robotic system with a crystal interface, cost a lot of money. In addition, adding in the necessary components to make it so the ship wouldn't get jammed was also costly. So in the end, they came up with a nice little fighter, but it had its drawbacks. Not that they were too worried about it. They did, after all, solve the problem.
