Designed to fulfill the role of or replace the Miy'til in certain situations, the May'tel at twice the length of the Miy'til is also twice as expensive to mass produce and thus sees less combat action as its small counterpart. Never the less, the May'Tel is a valuable asset in the Hapan navy...

Weapons:

2 Armored Heavy Particle Lasers

The lasers are twice as powerful and carry a larger power storage battery than normal. They are also fitted with radiation shielding and armor to keep them operational where other systems might fail. Because the guns are more powerful, a supercharged shot travels more slowly and takes more time to fire - a readjustment flight is recommended before combat missions.

1 Missile Launcher

10 Held missles available for ready fire at all times

Special:

Self Destruction Sequence:

If a proper clearance code is not entered when ship is powered down a sequence of shaped charges are activated two minutes after power off, to keep the ship from falling into the wrong hands. The explosion causes damage is to internal systems only, with little to no harm to ships other than itself.

Shield-Type Cloaking:

Hapan Engineering has succesfully designed a cloaking field capable of disrupting not only electronic ship based sensors but also visually as effective. A cloaking system has been developed to be used as a shield, and indeed is a shield in its own right. When raised the Shield-Type Cloaking system will allow the sensor data to transmit through it, sending back information on the space where the fighter is located, minus any data colaborating to the fighter itself. The Cloak also reflects the visual data on its immediate surroundings as to appear invisible to normal occular sight.

Hapan Engineers have been able to produce such this device small enough, as well as drastically lower its power needs so it can be installed on a starfighter. The cloaking device itself requires a fiar amount of energy for it to operate, in comparison to the starfighters overall power output. As such, the May'Tel has to decloak to be able to fire its weapons as well as to detect other May'Tel, as well, it also cannot have its real shields up or travel in hyperspace while cloaked in this Shield-Type cloaking.
