Description: Developed exclusively for the Selective Market and sold at RRDI's South System's Bazaar booth only, the Deathbell is Ri'ess Regal's first and only elite production fighter. It is designed specifically with dogfighting in mind, and was given the best possible loadout of air-to-air armaments and systems. The ghastly Deathbell is the pinnacle of anti-fighter technology, made particularly for the role, though it stands a limited effectiveness against stationary targets and vehicular targets as well so long as the bomb/missile payload suits the target in question. Purchasing a Deathbell involves a very strict customer screening process to make sure that only the most qualified and responsible pilots are permitted to purchase any, and credit check declines are common. They will never be sold to a member of a competing faction or corporation (the only exception being Domino because I didn't think about this before her order, and I trust her OOC).
The Deathbell is equipped internally with a small Pontite-based stealth cloaking generator which, coupled with the ceramic thrust vectors and underside filters, mask emissions to trace levels and make the craft almost completely transparent so that it cannot be accurately detected by sensors or visual aid. This requires a significant amount of power, however, thus weapons and targeting systems cannot be active while the cloaking generator is engaged (with the exception of the jammer pods). Stealth can be active for prolonged periods of time, however protracted use will result in the plasma conduit powerplants requiring replacement or refreshment up to 33% sooner. Due to energy demands and general flight stability, a maximum speed of Class-2.5 can be achieved while in stealth.
(Thanks to Saran Drast for helping me with the stealth description.)
It was decided by RRDI's executive engineers, experienced from a hundred years and three generations of service, that the missile payload should be carried externally and on pylons, similar to the ever-successful Solace-Class Heavy Starfighter with its six carry pylons. However, the space it took on the Deathbell was consolidated to conserve space, reduce weight and increase defensibility of the payload. The convenient design of the solid wing-pylons is that up to four standard missiles per wing can be carried, or as much as two extra-heavy (4x value after modifiers) missile warheads can be carried per wing, on the primary underside facet. This allows the missile payload to be highly modular but also compatible with non-Deathbell missiles of almost any kind. The standard payload for a Deathbell fighter OEM however is two Heavy Concussion Missiles capable of extended ranges, and two Homing Concussion Missiles capable of actively seeking a target in medium range; per wing.
