Istartiir Interceptor

The Istartiir Interceptor is mainly used for quick reaction alert duties requiring hyperspace-capable starfighters. Performance-wise, it is similar to the republic A-Wing Mark II, though it trades some shield power for increased maneuverability. Unless specific mission criteria warrant otherwise, a patrol of system-based Istartiirs is commonly equipped with ion pulse missiles for interception duty, though carrier complements often have a more lethal warhead loadout.
