Strengths:

• Dart: The Resurgent Class Sith Fighter is incredibly fast and maneuverable, allowing it to speed through enemy formations with ease, and overwhelm enemy fighters in dogfights.
• Screamer: The Resurgent Class Sith Fighter is equipped with a screamer system, allowing it to mask part of its signature from enemy scanners.

Weaknesses:

• Carry On: The Resurgent Class Sith Fighter does not come equipped with a hyperdrive system, forcing it to rely on other vessels to carry it into combat operations.

Description: The Resurgent Class Sith Fighter stands ready to become the new standard assault fighter of the Jen'ari Empire. Meant to be used in mass swarms against enemy targets to overpower them. A secondary tactic of the Resurgent Class fighters is to be deployed at the edge of a star system, and deploy in secret. Using their screamer systems, they will then approach a target and engage without warning, crippling the defenses of the target before the main fleet arrives in support.

[member="Darth Animus"], Hi I'll be the factory judge looking over your submission today. I do love a good fighter, but there were just a few points I wanted to bring to your attention in case you wanted to make any changes to your submission before we go ahead and approve it.

Firstly the Screamer, the template, which can be found here, asks that you 'Ensure significant capabilities from systems are included in the Strengths and Weaknesses lists.' This is simply as a matter of making sure that anyone else who reads the submission in a fight has all the information available to them. If I could ask you to please add a strength there for clarity.

Also, could you just clear up for me why the fighter has a low defence when it has a capable sensor jammer, again this is just so that anyone facing the fighter in the future will be able to see the details clearly.

Finally the balance. As it currently stands the fighter is extremely overpowered. We can go ahead and approve it as it stands, but I'm afraid that if someone uses it in a PvP situation it could end up being reported. In order to prevent that now I'd recommend that you lower four ratings, or add significant weaknesses to compensate for its strengths. The best way to check your ships balance is to use the starship excel sheet which is at the bottom of the template link I provided above.

Please do tag me back when you have decided what you want to do so we can move you on to approval.

The screamer has been added to strengths, sorry about that. I changed the defense rating to very low, as while the fighter does indeed have a sensor jammer, it has minimal armor and no shields. It relies on speed and the jammer to survive. A single hit could likely take out the fighter. Lowered other ratings as well.
