  • Electromagnetic Control - An ECM array allows the Sythra-class to exert influence over the electromagnetic environment in a given battlespace, giving the craft a range of capabilities that add additional utility.
  • Amphibian - The life support systems, electromotive field motors, and hydrostatic fields allow the Sythraa to traverse underwater and remain submerged for an indefinite period of time. In a pinch, this function could be used to hide from pursuing enemy forces or even to initiate a surprise attack!
  • Dancer - The Sythra-class is quite balletic and maneuverable in flight, demonstrating dazzling agility that allows a skilled pilot to evade incoming fire and missiles with deft ease.
  • Low Profile - The Sythra-class has coatings on its hull which effectively lower the craft’s sensor profile and render it more difficult to distinguish against the backdrop, thereby making it harder to register and lock onto at range. However, this does not approach true stealth capability, since it does not grant true sensor or sensory invisibility.
  • Zoom - The Sythra-class is incredibly fast, allowing the craft to engage targets via hit-and-fade tactics. Pilots flying the Sythra can strike just as quickly as they can retreat.

  • Automation - The Sythra-class is supported by a suite of automated processes which govern its targeting systems, power systems, flight control systems, and yet more. In the event that these systems are somehow disabled, whether via EMP/Ion discharge, concentrated slicing, or in rare cases, jamming, the operating efficiency of the craft will be negatively affected.
  • Sensitive Passive Sensors - The passive sensor array on the hull of the Sythra-class is an extreme boon to the pilot’s battlespace awareness, especially in conditions where the use of active sensors may reveal the craft’s location. However, they are also very vulnerable, as even glancing blows can destroy or disable the sensors on or around the affected areas. In essence, as the hull takes more hits, the Spyglass’ passive reception array will become increasingly ineffective.
  • Straight and Narrow - The SLAM Mk. II provides a significant boost to speed and acceleration, but it compromises maneuverability while active. In addition, the system disables all weapons for the duration of its use.
  • Catching Flak - Although the Sythra-class is a tiny, fast starfighter that is hard to hit, it is susceptible to high-damage area of effect attacks, typically from cluster explosives or flak. The craft’s lack of heavy armor renders it vulnerable to attacks from these weapon types and others of similar profiles.

Christened after a notably swift prey avian on Korriban, the Sythra-class Ultralight Starfighter-Interceptor is a light starfighter-interceptor designed by First United Astral Engineering and manufactured for the Kainate and the Sith Order. Developed to fill the need for a light interceptor platform, The craft’s small size and speed fits it aptly in this role. However, it is also capable of performing as a starfighter, due to its shields and optional underwing missiles.

Covering its armament, the Sythra-class has a pair of light beam cannons mounted on the underwing extremities, twin medium beam cannons in the nose, and six ordnance hardpoints set under the wings which are primarily designed to carry missiles and bombs.

For its defenses and countermeasures, the Sythra-class has a polarized solar ray energy shield, desh-terenthium and carbo-plas hull plating with thermal gel filling for shock absorption, a full suite of countermeasures to provide defense against targeting systems and incoming warheads.

The Sythra-class’s utility systems encompass a 0.5-rated path engine, a 1.0 hyperdrive, an agility array thruster matrix, a unified engagement battle net link module, a full-spectrum communications system, and yet more features.

One of the notable quirks of the Sythra-class is that it is not large enough to accommodate pilots taller than 5'8". Shorter pilots are generally the best fit for the craft.

All in all, the Sythra-class is designed not just to fill a gap in the starfighter fleet of the Kainate and the Sith Order, but also to advance their capabilities in starfighter combat. Lessons learned from Woostri in regards to the dominance of Alliance starfighter aces convinced the Sith of the need to invest in more advanced platforms and training for Sith pilots, with a higher emphasis on survivability so as to retain experienced pilots. The Sythra-class is a product of this mindset, and is ultimately hoped to considerably improve the performance of Sith starfighter formations.
