X-70B Phantom Transport

Sienar has a history dating back for years on building starships dateing back to the early days of the Old Republic when they built capital starships for Empress Teta. Those that had the credits Sienar built for and always Sienar has been an establishment where research and development is pushed to the limits. Then the Sith Empire led by the Sith Emperor approached them and Sienar’s R&D division was put to work. This ship was built in very limited quanities due to costs at the time but each served the Empire well.

The origins of many of Sienar’s present day designs have links to technology that came about then this ship for example served as the basis for the Sith Infiltrator that Sienar built for Darth Sidious prior to the Clone Wars though publicly they will not acknowledge the link and within Sienar’s vaults rests the orginal Infiltrator hidden from the Jedi on orders of Sidious.

The technology for the Cloak was not conceivable due to the rareity of the crystals due to over mining but many of the stealth features worked and were applied in the race to make Covert Ops ships as the war between the NR and Empire went a direction of needing Spy Ships.

Resurrection of older designs that could potentially house these objectives were made and taking lessons from NR spy ships they were applied in this case. The hull is covered in a special polymer that makes the ship undetectable at long range to radars.

The principle of how the ship works and remains undetectable to potential enemy detection is that it jumps into a starsystem at long range sets a course and floats through space relying on comm. Silence and the polymer to make it undetectable as it gleams information from its target.

If ships get within close range the ship is viewable and can be fired upon. Jamming systems within the ship serve as the craft’s countermeasures and force ships to try and shoot it through line of sight fireing and then it rely’s on pilot skill and the speed of the ship for it to make an escape into hyperspace. If the countermeasures system is activated prior to detaction it will alert enemy ships patrolling the area as an anomaly that would trace back to the ships location. The countermeasures system as currently designed is to work effectively against Starfighters and against any other ships (Space Transport or Higher) it would increase the amount of time to aquire a target lock but not completely block them.

In the case that the ship is destroyed the core will attempt to transmit data via bouncing information off of local satellites and then explode leaving no useful information for the attacker to get from the ship.
