ADVANCED SYSTEMS

-Heat Resistant carbonite coating
-ZEUS AI|Droid brain
-Neuranium lining

Strengths:

• High speed and maneuvrability, perfect for a short range starfighter operating either as a fleet swarmer or as ground support.
• Thanks to the ZEUS droid brain, this ship is able to pull off tactical and spacial maneuvres no ordinary human or other race pilot could pull off without being an elite or ace pilot to begin with.
• Hard to pinpoint with sensory arrays thanks to the neuranium lining.

Weaknesses:

• Weakness against EMP and ION weaponry, especially when the shield's down.
• No hyperdrive, thus depending on other ships for transport and travel
• Excessive weight makes this starfighter more or less useless for atmospheric combat.

Description:

After Eriadu Manufacturing shipyards had completed the batch of elite stealth starfighter droids under the name SDS-1 or Scarab, the company under the watchful eye of Nargath Holdings, found value in a more simplified design of droid starfighter, which could be used in swarm tactics in fleet battles, lowering the loss of life which had been determined to be extremely high, especially among fighterpilots. Thus the SDS-2 was created, not as a replacement of the company's own starfighters and interceptors, but as a means to gain access to formerly untapped markets within the galaxy.

Neuranium lining

Since there's an obvious reason why a sensor blocking material such as neuranium would be included, I'd recommend adding this to both the advanced features and strengths of this starfighter. I would highly recommend that you include a weakness around the shear weight that even a fine coating of neuranium creates also. It would likely also drastically affect its atmospheric capabilities (if any).

added the neuranium lining to strengths and special/advanced features.

Also added the recommended weaknes, hope the wording is ok in this case
