DESCRIPTION
Designed by Cygnus Space Workshops during the Clone Wars era, the Omicron-class Attack Shuttles bears the hallmarks of other ships by the designer, namely the tri-winged designs along with the fold-up wings on the port and starboard side, such as the Theta-class shuttle which was also an Republica-era design, and the Lambda-class which would be designed in the Imperial-era.The Omicron-class was designed for military use for the Grand Army of the Republic. It possess decent amounts of speed, maneuverability, protection, and firepower; making it a good all around ship. It is good at ship combat, attacking targets on land, as well as being able to drop it's passengers and crew onto the field. Uniquely at the time among Cygnus ships, the Omicron possess solar-collector panel wings, which would become commonplace in the Imperial-era on TIE line fighters.
The main armaments' for the standard Omicron are it's fix-foward medium laser cannons. The dual laser cannon turret can either be controlled by a dedicated tail-gunner or remotely by the co-pilot from the cockpit. With special operations modifications, the firepower is upgraded. The medium laser cannons are upgraded into heavy versions. The ship also gains five light laser cannons mounted on the wings. But with the spec-ops modifcations, the ship cannot be modified any more.
The Omicron-class Attack Shuttle was rare during the Clone Wars and are even more so in the present day. Few of these ships exist out in the galaxy, having either been scrapped or destroy. The few of them left lying have either sustained sustained heavy damage, wear-and-tear from the elements, or both.
