• ICE Peregrine Field Disruptor

• EMP/Ion - The Parabrite/Dunalmite alloy paired with the Kirishima Cap Drains makes this vessel highly resistant to the effects of either energy, allowing it to shrug off attempts to shut down systems inside the ship and even transferring the energy to shield power.
• Punch and Run - Designed to work in tandem with the Royal Naboo Interceptors, this ship is designed around punching above it's belt with a higher armament capability.
• Coming Through - Planetary shields and larger ship's projecting a shield barrier will find this ship a nuisance as they slip through with relative ease.

• Dragged Down - The need for weapons systems strips this design of agility in lieu of potential damage to other ships. Making it less than optimal for dogfighting and more a general purpose ship.
• Nose In - The ship has no variable aiming system, as all the weapon mounts are in the nose or pointed that direction. Anything on its tail has a turkey shoot on their hands.
• Don't Mind Me - The drawback of using the ICE Field Disruptor is the requirement for the shielding system to be disabled prior to passing through a shield system. Leaving these ships vulnerable for a short time between as well as announcing their presence when they pass through the offending shield.

With the Interceptor designed and sent through, the next item to create for the Royal Naboo Republic was a designated snubfighter that could work to take down larger ships while still being able to assist in taking on other starfighters.

Being paired with the interceptor allowed some trade off for a heavier weapon in exchange for the agility of the vessel. Deciding to place a newer system into the ship to potentially capitalize on the inherent resistances of the hull as well as potentially using the weapon to knock out specific emplacements on enemy ships both large and small. The addition of the bomblet generator also made the hull significantly larger than initially planned, bringing the mass up to a point that the engines could not overcome in certain aspects despite numerous attempts to circumvent the issue. Seeing the vessel operate in tandem with the interceptor through simulation trials alleviated some of the worries she had about the design given how well it meshed with assisting the other ship.

Clearly communicating the need for the ship to have assistance in some form against larger starfighter swarms, the ship was cleared for production and the schematics were uploaded to the PGEM system for production,
