SPEED/MANEUVERABILITY
The Y-Wing Gunship has a top speed 90 MGLT thanks to its more robust engine system, but much like its Fighter/Bomber predecessor, she moves a bit on the slow side. Thankfully its heavy armor and Medium Deflector shield make up for the sluggish maneuvering.
ARMAMENT
- 2x Fixed Forward Facing Light Ion Cannons (controlled by Pilot)
- 2x Twin Light Laser Cannon Turrets (Dorsal and Ventral)
EQUIPMENT
- Droid Socket, located in a small corner next to the main pilot seat. Big enough to accommodate even an R-Series Astromech droid but small enough not to hinder the pilots ability to fly.
- x1 Class 2 Hyperdrive
- x2 Docking rings/hatches on both sides of the vessel.
- x1 Medium Deflector Shield (a beefier upgraded variant of the one used on the Y-Wing Fighter Bomber but much bigger)
- Ejector Mechanism that separates the main cabin from the superstructure, turning the cockpit/cabin itself into an emergency escape pod
- Emergency beacon mounted inside the main cabin in case of rescuing
- Back up Particle shield mounted on the Main Cabin. Used for emergency landings on planets whenever the Cabin is ejected from the Superstructer
- Emergency maneuvering thrusters on Main Cabin. Designed to move the ship for short distances
- Short Range Antenna (mounted on the bow behind the Medium laser cannons) used for communicating and reporting.
DESCRIPTION
The BNG Y-Wing Patrol/Gunship was designed to hold a small crew and passengers and filling a need for Patrol and Recon ships. Koensayr Manufacturing decided to take the Y-Wing Gunship a step further with a small variation in the Assault ship model. This model filled the role that local security forces were looking for. They removed the two forward facing medium cannons and replaced them with light ion cannons so that they could disable fleeing ships instead of destroying them. The other modification added to this model was that the passenger space was replaced with a very small multipurpose room, mainly a lounge for the crew and fold down sleeping cots on the walls. As they saw with the BNG Y-Wing, a pilot could fly the ship and man the main cannons while a single droid could operate the two twin laser turrets. Although this worked, it was decided to add a 3rd crew member so that both turrets could be manually operated.
LEGALITY
Depending on the modifications to the Gunship, the Y-Wing is legal to all who can afford it.
INTENT
Creating a re-skin with a few changes of the same caliber of the original more suited for my characters needs.
CREDIT
This is a Re-Skin of the BNG Y-Wing, previously created by Kenico and I appreciate his hard work in creating the original.
ADVANCED TECH
No, it’s a standard ship for commercial use, however, mostly found among system police forces, smugglers, bounty Hunters, and the occasional Pirate.
