Description: In the aftermath of the Battle for the Anoat Sector, the victorious First Order and their armed forces had taken a moment to review the various offensive tactics employed by the nefarious deviants within the Galactic Alliance and their horde of employed mercenaries.
Of all the myriad battles throughout the entirety of the Sector, there was one notable factor that was consistent in almost every engagement; and that was the deployment of stealth craft. While the technology had been available to the First Order for some time, there was little need to have such tactical advantages rolled out into active service. As the war had begun winding down, and a momentary pause in hostilities was on the horizon, the Special Projects Division of the First Order Security Bureau had seen fit to cooperate with the various branches of the First Imperial Hierarchy to begin work on creating a prototypical strike fighter. One that would inevitably, Pilot depending, be able to act as the First Order’s dagger in the dark - sowing the seeds of discord, and paving the way for the First Imperial’s armed forces as they batter aside whatever seeks to defy their right to rule.
Having previously worked with the First Imperial Engineers on various projects before, the Heads of Brandt-Volcata Industries and Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems had brought with them their experience and ideas that would eventually give birth to what would be known as the “Spectre.” While the overall visual scheme had been a hotly contested debate for a period of time, the combined brilliance of the First Order had finally settled on ‘borrowing’ heavily from the ancient stealth starfighter once produced by the infamous Incom Corporation. Thus, with easily accessible records from the continued conflict with the Galactic Alliance, tied with what they could recover from the past, the “Spectre” began life as a thematic departure from the standard Imperialized designs of the TIE series. And so, did the First Imperial stealth fighter become not an “Eyeball” as the Alliance pilots had coined Imperial craft, but a “Pointer” due to it’s punch-dagger like construction.
Utilizing the previously acquired and engineering stealth technologies, the Corps of Imperial Engineers, along with the Special Projects Division, were able to outfit their newest squadron of starfighters with a plethora of sensor negation technology - allowing the “Spectre’s” to become effectively invisible to both visual and sensor detection. While the combined devices of the reflec fiberplast, the photon absorber, the thermal dissipator, and a selection of sensor negation technology the “Spectre” was able to absorb the active and passive scans of nearby sensors safely. Which in turn would safely send them on their merry way; allowing the craft to move unseen to the technological eye. When it comes to concealing the fighter from visual methods of detection, the “Spectre” is sheathed in a matte-black fiberplast that was bespeckled - much like the sea of infinite black the squadron of starfighters would sail through. Meaning that it would be rendered almost invisible to the naked eye - however if the vessel got close enough and the sentient being was focused - they’d be able to see something was amiss.
With the proprietary HUD systems installed in the TIE Raptor being taken and applied to that of the “Spectre,” a complex series of miniaturized visual and sensorial feeds lined the exterior of the starfighter and provided the Pilot within a nigh-unobstructed view of their surroundings. The fighter around them, when this secondary system is activated, becomes nothing more than a semi-transparent outline - allowing for an extremely precise flight at the hands of a skilled and competent pilot. Though it takes some getting used too, as most new systems do, it allows the pilot to become one with their starfighter, as all relevant data is feed directly into the Pilot’s helmet. Naturally, as this is an activation based system, the Pilot should they desire to enter “Stealth” mode or fly without the slightly disorientating assistance of the neurological link, they would be able to do so.
With this squadron of starfighters, the First Order would be able to strike back against whoever stands in their way. Guaranteeing their right to rule the stars.
