DESCRIPTION​

The Wyrm class spy ship is Barancar's shipyards latest in fast ship designs. Manufacturers have voiced concerns about the risk of the demilitarizing of planetary defenses. After the Free World Alliance was dissolved they recieved an influx of orders for their BSV-01 "Newt" interceptor. but customers were asking for faster ships to keep up with the numerous superiority starfighters popping up around the galaxy. After a lot of trial and error they created the lightening fast Wyrm spy ship.

First and foremost the Wyrm is a spy vessel and not meant for direct combat. The vessel is similar in shape, size and design to starfighters however it lacks any armament and is incapable of receiving any after market weaponry. Aside from its blinding speed both in space and in atmosphere, the Wyrm also boasts a humble light deflector screen. This is primarily as a safety measure against environmental dangers rather than enemy weapon fire. In the event the pilot flies directly into space debris the shield gives them a chance to recover and steer to safety.

The Wyrm lacks a hyperdrive, forcing it to rely on the hyperdrive booster rings or carrier ships if they wish to efficiently travel between star systems. Otherwise they are restricted to space stations and ground bases. With at least three standard weeks of supplies onboard the two person crew can travel sublight to neighboring systems without the assistance of a hyperdrive and make the return trip.

A crew of two is most optimal for the ships performance. A co-pilot assists with navigation and monitoring the ship's systems while the pilot flies. A two person crew also provides an assurance of effectiveness on extended missions and can provide a sense of useful redundancy.

In the long nose of the Wyrm sits the second most important equipment in the ship and is also what gives it its primary role. The sensor array incased in the protective hull of the starship can collect and record thousands of hours of footage in numerous spectrums. Furthermore the shipboard sensors can quickly analyze captured data and transmit said information over long range encrypted communication to better inform the rest of their supporting military force.

Last but certainly not least is the Wyrm's mobility. The spy ship was designed to have speed be its main defense against any and all threats. This came at the cost of weapon systems and stronger shields. But the end result is a ship that can outrun any interceptor, starfighter and will even give missiles a run for their credits.

The Wyrm is a recently new addition to the galaxy and as such most people have never seen one. These are very few in number and sold with discretion to well paying customers. The Wyrm is used by neutral parties thus far and has not been spotted or heard about by most of the galaxy. Backwater planetary defense forces, corporations and mercenary companies are the types to make purchase orders from Barancar's shipyards.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Wyrm - class spy ship are technically classified as "unarmed" starfighters and are subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities.

INTENT​

To type of "spy plane" that is not meant for combat. Inspired by the SR-71 Blackbird for the purposes of surveillance and simply "outrunning" the enemy as its primary means of defense.

RESTRICTIONS​

These ships are are highly sophisticated, highly expensive craft, although they are less expensive than a corvette or similar capital ship. They are not really intended for large factions which already have sizeable fleets, but are meant for groups seeking to counter such assets. Regardless, the resources of at least a small faction would be required to acquire them, and they are not intended for individual use.

The Wyrm class spy ship cannot receive aftermarket modifications.
