Tzaebet Modular Fighter

The Tzaebet Modular Fighter was an advanced starfighter in the service of the Black Star Confederacy. Tzaebet was Decura and meant "Avenger".

It was designed to replace all other fighter types in Confederate service. When introduced, it began to replace Thor Space Superiority Fighters, the Thors being relegated to less élite squadrons.

The Tzaebet was a versatile and well balanced fighter. Its combination of firepower, speed and durability allowed this fighter to be supremely well suited to the multiple roles assigned to it, its combination of speed, maneuverability and firepower making it an ideal craft for dogfighting TIE Fighters or for fast-paced attack runs against larger targets. At full recharge rates the laser cannons could fire continuously.

Specifications
The Tzaebet sported an anti-matter reactor, exceptional speed, extreme maneuverability (thanks to a series of micro-thrusters), and a BioComp which computed targeting resolutions much faster as well as serving as a navcom. Armament consisted of hardpoints for up to twelve weapon systems; thanks to standardization, these hardpoints could carry heavy laser cannons, heavy ion cannons, proton torpedo launchers, concussion missile launchers (both regular and advanced), concussion grenade launchers, seismic charges, Bomblet generators, and various other armaments.

Common armaments included:


 * Space Superiority: 4 heavy laser cannons, 4 heavy ion cannon, 4 warhead launchers
 * Interception: 8 heavy laser cannons, 4 heavy ion cannons
 * Anti-personnel: 2 heavy laser cannons, 2 bomblet generators, 2 concussion missile launchers, 6 concussion grenade launchers
 * Anti-tank: 2 heavy laser cannons, 10 concussion missile launchers
 * Anti-bunker: 2 heavy laser cannons, 10 seismic charges
