Bab 6212: Starfighter Proving Grounds

The gathered mech commanders and staff officers tried to imagine what it would be like to fight alongside 80,000 starfighters.

The interceptor craft were remarkably light and fast. It would be easy to send them on a flanking or reinforcement mission. They could also circle around and attack an enemy unit concentration from the rear.

However, their lack of armor and transphasic energy shields seriously put their survivability into question!

Very few Larkinsons preferred to pilot these craft for this reason. The Seyditch interceptors looked so flimsy that it was as if they would already fall apart if someone sneezed in their direction!

Perhaps that was an exaggeration, but nobody would ever make the mistake of thinking that they could last in any hard confrontation where their mobility became constrained!
