Manta-class Assault Starfighter
Manufacturer(s): Tapani Starship Cooperative, "The Wandering Ones" (only one in existence; not in production)
Model: Manta-class Assault Starfigther, customized
Type: starfighter
Length: 12 meters
Atmospheric speed: 12,000 Km/h
Sublight speed: 145 MGLT (interceptor mode) / 120MGLT (assault mode)
Hyperdrive: class 1
Crew: 1, 1 astromech
Consumables: 1 week
Armament: 2 light ion cannons, 2 medium laser cannons, 2 heavy laser cannons, 2 mini proton torpedo launchers
Cargo capacity: 100 kilograms
Shield rating: 80 SBD
Hull rating: 10RU
The Manta-class Assault Starfighter is designed to operate in one of two modes. The first is an interceptor mode, in which the wings are deployed parallel to the hull. In this configuration, the power to the laser cannons are routed to the engines, allowing only the ion cannons and proton torpedo launchers to fire. The second is an assault mode, in which the wings swing down 90 degrees, revealing two heavy laser cannons. While in assault mode, all laser cannons are fully powered, reducing the craft's speed.
While the original Manta-class Assault Starfighter had a crew of two and contained no hyperdrive, the introduction of an astromech droid, fully enclosed within the pilot's cockpit, along with a newer computer system, allows the craft to be piloted by a single being, and also allows for the equipping of a hyperdrive. In addition, two proton torpedo launchers, designed specifically to fire anti-starfigther miniature proton torpedoes, have been equipped on the fighter's ventral surface.
