___The A-Wing is a relatively new attacker. It's small size makes it harder to hit, yet has an excellent weapons selection and good maneuverable, and carries a hyperdrive to travel from system to system.

___The craft is being fielded to the Spaceway Patrol as an interdiction attacker (chasing Go fast smuggler ships), the Exploration Service for long range exploration and probing, and most notably, the Marine for Force Reconnaissance and Sniper Teams, who use them for quiet insertation.

___They have also become highly valuable to various malcontents, especially the Militias which use them to strike at Spacy Transport Command ships and supply bases to prevent or restrict the Spacy's ability to supply the fleet and, more critically, the Marine Expeditionary Force it is currently supporting. Because these bases are often cohabited as Patrol Bases, it is not unusual to find A Wings on BOTH sides of the battle; This has led to an unofficial tradition of Militias painting their A Wings BLUE while Patrol and Spacy ships remain RUSTY BROWN or WHITE.

___A feature found almost EXCLUSIVELY on the A Wing is the Pilot Hibernation Unit, which will actually allow the pilot to enter a near suspended state; Breathing drops to 1 BPH, heart rate 1/1ุ BPH. These LOW rates will extends life support 1,ุุุ times. this feature can actually be installed on ANY standard fighter, but the A Wing is standardly equipped with this feature.

A Patrol of A-Wings

A Militia A-Wing for comparison; Intel believes these are Arouna Colony Militia
ships due to the twin PBCs, rather than the more normal swivel guns.

Cargo: Pilot Supplies only; In the case of the A-Wing, Power Armor is considered "pilot supplies", but can not be worn during Hib Mode.
Cost And Availability: 45 million credits to build.

Weapons Systems:
1. Swivel Guns: On either side of the ship is a pair of swiveling guns; They have an arc of fire of a full 36ุบ, but they have ุบ swivel- Straight forward, down, up, rear, and all points in between. The gun pods consist of s GU-XVI/a and Laser Cannon portside, Particle Beam and Ion Cannons starboard. This collection of different weapons give the pilot maximized flexibility. However, this flexibility comes at a cost; The payload is limited to 1ุุ blasts TOTAL between the 4 weapons per hour (except the GU-XIV/a).
Port GU-XVI/a Gun Pod: The GU-XVI/a is a very similar to the GU-2ุ gun Pod of R.D.F. fame; However, the GU-XVI is single barreled, the barrel is rifled, and the range is MUCH greater. The GU-XVI/a is NOT effected by the 1ุุ shot per hour limit.
Purpose: Door blasting; Typically, they will be aimed generally towards doors to blow them open and allow power armor troopers in.
MD: 4D1ุ per 1ุ round burst; Can ONLY fire bursts.
Range: 48,ุุุ feet
Rate of Fire: Per pilots attacks per melee.
Payload: 1,ุุุ rounds; That's 1ุุ bursts.
Port Laser Auto Cannons: Normal lasers emit a short, hyper-intense beam of light which incinerates everything in a small area; Laser Auto Canons emit a full-melee beam of energy, like a rod of energy; This can either be placed on a particular spot for the full melee, or tracked to the target (+2 strike). Either way, this is the most powerful laser battery ever put on a Mecha to anyone's knowledge.
Purpose: Anti-Armor
MD: Tracking Blast: 1D6X1ุ; Concentrated Blast: 1D4X5ุ
Rate Of Fire: Once per melee
Range: 3ุ,ุุุ feet

Particle Beam Cannon: A lighter, Tśentraedi-style Particle Beam Cannon.
Purpose: Anti-Ship/Armor.
MD: 4D1ุ per blast.
Range: 4,ุุุ feet
Rate of Fire: Per pilots attacks per melee.
Payload: Conditionally unlimited; Between this AND the other three swivel guns, the pilot get 1ุุ shot per melee maximum; However, per melee, the pilot has as many attacks per melee as their skill level allows.
Starboard Ion Cannons: The ion cannon is the stun gun for spaceships; Normal damage, therefore, doesn't exactly apply (see Effect).
Effect:
Against material: Roll on the following table:
ุ1-6ุ: Ships is dead in space; It will be drawn to the nearest gravity well (planet). The engine is completely dead, and can not be repaired. The ship must be abandoned.
6ุ-9ุ: The ships is restricted, roll again:

ุ1-5ุ: Ship is sluggish; ฝ attacks per melee, and pilots, crew, etc are ฝ to all applicable skills (i.e. pilot: spaceship of 85% now is 42%, rounded down).
ุ1-51: Ship is DIS (dead in space); It will take 1D4 hours to repair the ship IF parts are available, or 1D4 minutes to jerry-rig the ship.

Range: 12,ุุุ feet
Rate of Fire: Per pilots attacks per melee.
Payload: Conditionally unlimited; Between this AND the other three swivel guns, the pilot get 1ุุ shot per melee maximum; However, per melee, the pilot has as many attacks per melee as their skill level allows.

2. Twin Fixed-Forward Light Lasers: These fixed-forward lasers are generally used for blasting away armor; They can also be used for dogfighting.
Purpose: Anti-Armor
MD: 6D6 per twin blast
Range: 4,ุุุ feet
Rate of Fire: Per pilots attacks per melee.
Payload: Conditionally unlimited; Between this AND the other three swivel guns, the pilot get 1ุุ shot per melee maximum; However, per melee, the pilot has as many attacks per melee as their skill level allows.

3. Underside Laser Turret: A slightly modified version of the VF-1D head. These laser turrets are generally used for infantry/power armor blasting and anti-aircraft fire neutralization (blasting AAA batteries and AA missiles).
Purpose: Anti-Infantry/Anti-AAA
MD: 2D4 per blast
Range: 2,ุุุ feet
Rate of Fire: Per pilots attacks per melee.
Payload: Conditionally unlimited; Between this AND the other three swivel guns, the pilot get 1ุุ shot per melee maximum; However, per melee, the pilot has as many attacks per melee as their skill level allows.

3. Underside Laser Turret: A slightly modified version of the VF-1D head. These laser turrets are generally used for infantry/power armor blasting and anti-aircraft fire neutralization (blasting AAA batteries and AA missiles).
Purpose: Anti-Infantry/Anti-AAA
MD: 4D6X1ุ per warhead
Blast Radius: 5ุ feet
Range: 1,ุุุ miles
Rate of Fire: First Volley: 1 or 2 of the missiles can be fired; Second Volley: The remaining 2 unused missile form that launcher can be used; If both launchers were fired in the first volley, then all 4 remaining missiles can be fired in the second volley. Number of volleys per melee: Per pilots attacks per melee.

• AJP: Active Jamming Pod. Causes -25% to detection but when it is active, other vehicles/bases can detect that it is jamming, and some missiles will home in on jamming signals. Jamming also causes a -4 penalty to all radar guided weapons. The jamming pod is only mounted inside the port tailerons.
• AMC/FD (2): Anti-Missile Chaff/Flare Dispensers. Actually launches a glob of burning magnesium/aluminum alloy to confuse both radar AND heat sensory systems. Fires off ุ4 chaff/flares each time it is activated. The system is KNOWN to work on all KNOWN radar and infrared systems, but concerns continue that somewhere out there their MIGHT be a system that will be totally unaffected by the system. Reduce effects by 2ุ% against smart missiles (add +2ุ% to rolls for smart missiles.)
Effect:

ุ1-5ุ Enemy missile or missile volley detonates in chaff cloud- Missiles are all destroyed.
51-75 Enemy missile or missile volley loses track of real target and veers away in wrong direction (may lock onto another target).
76-ุุ No effect, missile is still on target.

Also note that the chaff cloud will also blind nearby heat sensors (and optically based sensors at night) for 1 melee. They will suffer the following penalties: Reduce melee attacks/actions, and combat bonuses by half.
Duration: 1D4 melee rounds.
Payload: 6ุ chaff/flares. Each time the system is engaged, the system fires off ุ4 chaff/flares.
• LDP (4): Launched Decoy Pods. Located on the dorsal fuselage. The fighter can carry a special pod that carries four advanced towed decoy drones. These drones are specially designed radar lure that creates a radar image to mimic the fighter. This system has been successfully deployed against SEVERAL alien radar-type sensors (including one that works off of sound).

M.D.C.: 5
Effects: The decoy has a 98% chance of fooling ordinary non military radars and non smart guided missiles, and a 90% chance of fooling military grade radars and advanced smart missiles.
Range: Released to go wherever it wants. Can fly independently for about 30 minutes.
Rate of Fire: Per pilots attacks per melee.
Payload: 16 Decoys total.

• Full Range Sensory Systems: Infrared, Ultra Violet, Color Filters, and Thermal Imager: Range: 1ุ miles; Magnification: 4ุX
• Virtual Map: Displays a continuously-updating map of local terrain for the pilot. Takes data from other friendly units in the area. Effective land navigation of 85% as updates come. Good to 5ุุ miles. Specific range can be adjusted in 1 mile increments.
• Video Camera: Records from the HUD and HDD. 5ุ hours of recording available.
• Survival Pack: A pack of simpler emergency survival supplies: Sleeping bag, black light, G.P.S., 1st aid kit (bandages, gauze, bandage tape, pads, antiseptic/analgesic), plasma torch (for small repairs and starting fires), repair kit (with M.D.C. Repair Spray), sewing kit (a small spool of thread and 5 needles), 7 star flares (25ุ’ apogee), 7 white parachute flares (1,5ุุ’ apogee), 1ุุ’ of black or brown parachute cord (15ุ lbs tensile strength), 2-5 days rations, 2 gallons water, water purification kit (good for about 1ุ gallons), manual-inflating liferaft (for at-sea abandonment), self-inflating lifevest (15# buoyancy). The liferaft can double as a Pup Tent if so desired (though most pilots prefer to use a parachute for that, if anything, due to the fact that it is easier to hide).

___The X-Wing was the main aero-space superiority fighter of the Natuna Empire until the Empire's disbandments (the first step to annexation by the UGC). Part of the deal to disband and peacefully enter the UGC was that Natuna systems be allowed to keep their existent defense forces and Natuna Imperial Navy and Army be folded into the Spacy and Marine, with their ranks intact- And their own hardware.

___Several generations have come and gone; The last "true" Natunite passed away some 2ุุ years ago. The agreement that brought the X- and Y-Wings into the Spacy has now long since lapsed, yet the former Natuna systems keep their X-Wing fighters for their Robotech Defense Forces, and independent groups (mostly mercenaries) have taken them on as aero-space superiority.

___The Y-Wing Bomber was the Natuna's first inter-planetary platform; It was this ship that they first used to reach out to the stars.

___Nominally a two-man craft, it was originally meant as an anti-fighter; Turreted lasers gave it the ability to shoot down fighters, turning air superiority to the Natuna's side; Once they held control of space, they came to rule Andaru.

___With their home world under their control the Natuna (a nation) reached out for the stars; The Natuna retro-fitted a war-time surplus Kackanore Fighter with suspended animation pod and an experimental near-light speed drive. Before launching a manned mission, though, they sent an automated probe to a nearby neighbor.

___This proved to be wise, for while the probe headed out, they developed an FTL system. Another Kackanore, fitted out with the new drive, was launched under a private investment; And her maiden voyage was manned.

___The Y-wing proved to be a very able aero-space fighter for the next 150 years, until the X-Wing superceded it. The Y-Wing remained as a fighter for many more years, but slowly became more of a bomber/attacker.

___It's recent replacement by the A-Wing isn't complete, as there are simply so many Y-wings to replace, but the Y-Wing now is simply too slow for practical combat action.

___The Y-Wings are finding their ways into museums, and many are being snapped up by the Survey service and other exploration-dependant agencies and corporations; Most, however, are finding their way toe the scrappers.

___Many, though, have been de-milled and automated as sentry posts.

51-75: Enemy missile or missile volley loses track of real target and veers away in wrong direction (may lock onto another target).
76-ุุ: No effect, missile is still on target.

Also note that the chaff cloud will also blind nearby heat sensors (and optically based sensors at night) for 1 melee. They will suffer the following penalties: Reduce melee attacks/actions, and combat bonuses by half. Also, a cloud of smoke approximately 25Square feet.
Duration: 1D4 melee rounds.
Rate of Fire: Once per melee.
Payload: 6 chaff/flares.
• Combat/Targeting Computer: Records all enemy and friendly activity over the course of time; Can replay that activity for the pilot, assign target designation numbers, and track likely damage based on mathematical formulas (i.e. “Right leg red” badly damaged/destroyed, “head green” not damaged, etc). Displays this information as a pop up in the HUD on request by the pilot.
• MRA 6 Radios: Allows real time, continuous radio link up with friendly forces in the area via satellite relay over laser radio signals, preventing jamming, and automatically encrypts/decrypts same to prevent eavesdropping.
• Type-11 wide band radios: Effective 1ุ mile range, auto encrypt/decrypt. Works on standard radio band wavelengths, so it can still be jammed (if the enemy knows the frequencies).
• Towed XTNDR RADAR/Radio Antenna Extender: A simple 1ุ lb. pod is towed 1ุุ feet behind the fighter. A fiber-optic cable relays the data collected from the XTNDR Pod to the fighter's computers.

M.D.C. By Location:
Pod: 5ุ
Fiber Optic Cable: 1ุ
Effect: Extends range of any sensors 1ุ times (or defeats other penalties in a 5 mile area).

• Full Range Sensory Systems: Infrared, Ultra Violet, Color Filters, and Thermal Imager: Range: 1ุ miles; Magnification: 4ุX
• Virtual Map: Displays a continuously-updating map of local terrain for the pilot. Takes data from other friendly units in the area. Effective land navigation of 85% as updates come. Good to 5ุุ miles. Specific range can be adjusted in 1ุุ mile increments.
• Video Camera: Records from the HUD and HDD. 5ุ hours of recording available.
• Survival Pack: A pack of simpler emergency survival supplies: Sleeping bag, black light, GPS, 1st aid kit (bandages, gauze, bandage tape, pads, antiseptic/analgesic), plasma torch (for small repairs and starting fires), repair kit (with M.D.C. Repair Spray), sewing kit (a small spool of thread and 5 needles), 7 star flares (25ุ’ apogee), 7 white parachute flares (1,5ุุ’ apogee), 1ุุ’ of black or brown parachute cord (15ุ lbs tensile strength), 2-5 days rations, 2 gallons water, water purification kit (good for about 1ุ gallons), manual-inflating liferaft (for at-sea abondonment), self-inflating lifevest (15# bouyancy). The liferaft can double as a Pup Tent if so desired (though most pilots prefer to use a parachute for that, if anything, due to the fact that it is easier to hide).
