Propulsion system: SFS P-s5.6 Twin Ion Engines (175 KTU)
Speed Rating: 140 MGLT

Special Designs:
SFS L-r9.8x Repeating Laser Cannon - The L-r9.8x is an experimental cannon developed by Sienar for use mainly in turrets and fighter defense in larger craft. The cannon runs with it's own small power generator located under the turret, so it doesn't draw any more power than a regular cannon. The system is based around six rotating barrels. As the pilot fires, the barrels begin to rotate, allowing a much faster rate of fire than a normal cannon. However, the system is heavy enough that it will easily slow down smaller craft on which it is placed, and without the secondary generators, it draws too much power away from the shields and the engines to make the bomber an easy kill.
Development History: After Sienar completed the TIE Storm, Sienar turned to the second SS craft. Wes Vos wanted a fighter/bomber that could be used effectively in either role, which is a difficult task. However, Sienar tackled it as best they could. First, they came up with a unique hull that was closer to the Y-wing or A-wing than the traditional TIE. The second was to add a cockpit, which again retained the traditional TIE look. A turret mounted behind the cockpit gave Colonel Vos his L-r9.8x. The rest of the ship came into being quickly, with standard equipment being added for shields, sensors, and communications systems.
Description: The TIE Hurrikane looks somewhat like a cross between an E-wing and a TIE cockpit. The cockpit is halfway back along the hull, followed by a manned turret containing the L-r9.8x. The shields and engines follow. Communications and sensor systems are in the hull, and the two twin L-s9.3 cannons are on either side of the cockpit and somewhat forward. The two warhead launchers are slung under the wings and fed ammunition contained under the cockpit.
