Strengths:

• Cloaking: The Nachtschatten comes with a Cloaking system to move unseen. There are also various jammers,bafflers and a relfec hull that allow the ship to mask its movements and postions when not hidden under the cloak.
• High Speed: The Starfighter is really fast, and rather agile. Not only can it make sharp turns at high speeds, it also has a booster to get that extra bit of speed during an ongoing engagment.
• Shieldbreaker: While the weapons of the Nachtschatten are rather weak, they are picked for their special traits. Discord Missiles release buzz droids on their traget, while the Bio Gel Launchers release a extremly hot substance said to ignor shields.
• Holographic Decoy: The Nachtschatten also has a collection Mimic Sensor Decoys that copy the form of the Nachtschatten, adding a layer of protection by multiplying the amount of possible tragets for enemy ships.

Weaknesses:

• Double Blind: The Hibridium Cloaking may mask the ship from the outside, but it also mask the outside from the inside. While cloaked the pilot of the ship can not see, and neither can the ships sensors. To Balance this out the Nachtschatten comes in two versions: One with advanced Navigation computers to move the ship on a pre set course, and a second where the cockpit mirrors a mediation sphere to help force senstive pilots to fly the ship blind.
• Fragile: The Nachtschatten can take little to no damage before falling apart, and is therefore only suited for the most skilled pilots.
• No Targeting: The Nachtschatten has no sort of Targeting computer, meaning that any weapon has to be aimed manually.

Description: The Nachtschatten was created to replace the old stealth interceptors used by the Sith Assassins, to give the shadows of the sith another edge when operating covert. Designed and build on Malachor under Darth Abyss supervision, the ship shows all trademarks of Malachorian technology. Various systems from various ships patched together, most prominetly parts of the rather common X-wing Starfighter.

Besides stealth the main focus of the Nachtschatten is speed. While the can hold their own in a dogfight due to stealth and decoy systems, the main purpose of the ship is to move Assassins from one world to another unseen. The few weapons that it has are handpicked, rather obscure gel launchers that release super heated gel to melt ship hulls, discord missiles filled with dangerous buzz droids, and lastly simple, ancient lightning guns that can but out moderate damage due to the only barley medium sized enegry systems of the ship.

The ship was meant only for highly skilled, or force sensitve pilots, lacking many of the luxuries commonly found in most starfighters, like targeting systems.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

GAM

This needs to be stated with its full name, not an abbreviation, and should be listed in the ship's strengths.

while the Bio Gel Launchers release a extremly hot substance said to ignor shields.

Nowhere in the wookieepedia article does it state that these ignore shields.

Manufacturer: The Sith Assassins

As the Sith Assassins are not a major faction, please hyperlink to the faction page.

Armament: Low

The amount of weapons you have listed here constitutes an average armament rating. If you would like to have a Low armament rating, please adjust the amount of weapons on the ship. For example, reduce the amount of lightning guns and gel launchers to one of each.

Squadron Count: 12

Given the features of the ship, regarding stealth and its other ratings, having twelve of these in a squadron is pushing it a bit too much. If you lower this to 6 and keep all other ratings the same you should be good to go.
