EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION
The CloakShape is an archaic vessel originally produced by Kuat Systems Engineering, a now-defunct subsidiary of the venerable Kuat Drive Yards specializing in smaller aerospace vehicles such as starfighters. One of the division's most successful products prior to the Clone Wars, it is no longer produced; CloakShape space-frames are survivors, however, and are legendarily durable and upgradable, allowing many to endure even into the present day as competitive combat ships.

It is a popular axiom that there is no such thing as an "original" CloakShape. That is to say, almost all examples which exist in the present day have been modified in some form from their original specifications. No 2 CloakShapes are exactly alike, but certain modifications are so common as to be almost universal. Generally, CloakShapes are single-pilot craft, equipped with dual medium laser cannons and a quartet of concussion missiles. In their stock form, they do not possess shielding or hyperdrive capability, but after over 200 years in service the vast majority have been upgraded with at least light shields and a class 4 hyperdrive, with either an integrated navicomputer or an in-cockpit astromech droid socket to perform hyperspace calculations. Sublight performance is middling, with a top speed of 90 MGLT and at least decent maneuverability.

CloakShapes are no longer as common as they once were, but are still in use in some parts of the Galaxy. They can generally be found in the hands of badly outdated or cash-strapped planetary militias, low-tier mercenaries, pirates and fringers.

LEGALITY
Restricted. CloakShapes are starfighters, and are subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities.

INTENT
To create a standard archaic starfighter.
