White Star Fighters

Rumors of the development of a White Star fighter had been circulating for many years before this craft was finally unveiled to a waiting galaxy. It suffered much initial criticism for, oddly, the ISA had elected to follow the heavy fighter approach, a type of craft similar in size to the Drazi Sky Serpent. Such fighters tend to lose all the benefits of agility of a smaller craft and yet lack the durability of heavier vessels. The White Star fighter has a good pedigree. However, and though it has yet to be used in a major war, its Anla’Shok pilots report superior handling and the ability to give almost any class of ship a bloody nose. If it proves successful on board White Star carriers, it is likely the ISA will eventually replace all the Nials in its fleets with these craft.
