AF-38 M-Wing Starfighter
Developed by the dual system consortium Brayad-Nygurin, the M-Wing was
designed to be an extremely fast fighter with both the menuverability to
outclass any fighter andhave enough power to take on even full capital
ships with only others of its class. Finding no way to accomplish this
using conventional power plants, the design engineers decided to go with a
more powerful, but dangerous power plant. Fitting the M-Wing with an anti-
matter power plant, they found that not only did the craft have enough
power to give a large boost to both speed and meneuverability, but it also
had enough power increase the shields, and power a large array of weapons.
The main problem with this was the fact that if the power plant was hit and
damaged, two thirds of the time the containment field will collapse,
resulting in a catastrophic explosion that destroys the ship and everything
around it (doing 2D (2d10x2) damage to everything within 500 meters 5D
(5d10x2) within 100 meters).
Another problem with this design of fighter is the extreme change in
performance when the power plant is brought to full power. with the
enhanced thrust system energized and dumping pure power to thrusters, an
inexpirienced pilot is quickly thrown all overthesky, actually causing a
-2D+1 modifier to meneuverability until the pilot achieves a specialized
skill level. Once that level of skill is achieved, however, the M-Wing is a
truely daunting opponent.
In the rear of the main body are two wells, which hold interchangeable
weapons pods, which can hold proton torpedoes, cuncussion missiles, or a
variety of other munitions like shield generators, ECM pods, cargo pods, or
more lasers and or ion cannons.
