DESCRIPTION​

The Czerka Avionics Gunship Mark 15, otherwise known as the CAG-15, or more casually the “Enforcer”, was under research and development in the waning years of the Republic’s involvement in the war. Although the Republic’s recusal from the conflict harmed the original incentive for developing this concept, production began anyway after investors with ties to both Kuat Drive Yards and Corellian Ship Systems pushed for the design to emerge from the drawing board.

Since being produced en masse, the CAG-15 found a new role amongst the planetary defense forces of several systems in both the Mid-Rim and Core Worlds. While the Enforcer leaves much to be desired in terms of speed compared to speedier ships similar in size, and while it’s armor plating is effective mainly in resisting small arms fire and glancing hits from heavier weaponry, it’s sizeable weapons loadout and make it ideally suited to providing air support for ground forces, as well as customs enforcement. While some freighters are capable of outrunning it, particularly light freighters, it’s high acceleration and powerful punch make it deadly at checkpoints and starbases where typically traffic has to come to it, or in patrolling the skies to support teams on the ground.

On the flipside, while seeing this particular craft in anything other than an official military or law enforcement capacity is extremely rare, a small amount of these vessels have been successfully stolen, or even at times ‘gone missing’ from planetary armaments to be resold on the black market. Pirate gangs with sufficient reach and infrastructure have found the Enforcer to be a perfect fit for raiding shipping lanes, but even moreso at raiding remote outposts in the outer rim and expansion region, with few criminal organizations being able to lay claim to the ability to rain terror from the skies to the degree this ship is capable of. Most who acquire this vessel through the black market tend to make a few "minor" alterations, such as additional armor plating at the expense of speed.

LEGALITY​

Near-universally considered to be a piece of military equipment. Ownership of this vessel without proper security clearance will result in immediate seizure of this vehicle in virtually all of Republic space along with loss of license, with the only exception being Private Military Corporations granted proper clearance through the appropriate channels.

INTENT​

To make a ship that can give a pretty serious punch, to be used with military-based factions and organizations, or to possibly even be acquired by those who wish to have a ship that can dish out punishment if they don’t really care about outrunning anything.

ADVANCED TECH​

YES. Must be acquired by means of a plot.
