Description:

The RAF-01 X-wing is a single seat/unmanned starfighter designed by KSA for export. Like the original Incom line, KSA’s version is a modular snubfighter meant to serve in a wide variety of roles as a jack-of-all-trades. Never excelling in one particular area in comparison to more specialized counterparts, like interceptors or bombers, but also possessing no glaring shortcomings.

Development of the X-wing began in the late 840s under the now-defunct Galactic Republic’s Sentinel Initiative, a modernization program for its military. However, like all other projects associated with the Sentinel Initiative, development was halted as the GR dissolved and funding ran out. Concerns over lawsuits by Incom’s legal department also discouraged further development for the private market.

So the X-wing project sat in limbo until 850, when Arisa Yune looked into providing some new craft for a new Rebel Alliance. Aware of the X-wings, she kickstarted them back into production, hoping to use the iconic design as a point of inspiration. The design was refreshed, incorporating new technological developments in the time since the Sentinel Initiative, the production began in earnest. While initial batches went to the new RA (along with licenses for manufacture), KSA decided to expand production to sell more on the lucrative export market.

This also doesn't look very Average

[member="Raziel"] Bumped up the rating to moderate and lowered production to minor.

What's the issue with the items listed for defense? This is about the standard layout I've been using with other fighter subs at average defense. Standard shielding, light armor, ion/emp resistance, and EWAR capabilities.
