Strengths:
Agile: The Claw Craft is designed for speed and agility, one main engine giving incredibly thrust while the four auxiliary boosters on the 'wings' can pivot and push the craft out of immediate danger from nearly every direction and help with acrobatic feats that simple rear-facing engines could never accomplish.
Mines: The ships are capable of dropping mines, and then flying directly where they came from to prevent from hitting the mines. This can be used to leave small minefields mid-battle. However, each claw craft can only carry 3 mines.
Weaknesses:
Fragile: The Claw-Craft is designed to outmaneuver their foes, so less effort was put into defense, keeping them cheap and agile.
Pathetic Hyperdrive: The Claw-craft has very little hyperspace capabilities and relies on larger ships to carry them.
Description:
The Claw-Craft was designed to be used as both a strategic asset against capital ships, in the way of mines, as well as fighters to destroy competing star-fighters. A single pilot can utilize all these tools to be incredibly efficient and irreplaceable on the battlefield.
