Description
"SO LONG SUCKER!!!"
--> Arkas, Raptor pilot, Cygnus II campaign.

________________________________________ _

It's been a while since I revisited the dragonians storyline. yes, this was my first set universe I did long before I joined DA. then well, kept it in a corner till I get more experienced.

So all that you saw so far is just well.... test runs and practice for it

anyway this is some fiddly testing of perspective work again. Yep. Not turn out that good, but I may consider colouring it someday.

Just one squadron of draconian advanced starfighters blowing up a dreadnought.

Background

The Draconian Advanced Starfighter (affectionately referred to as "Dreads" by the draconians) is the most advanced spacefaring fighter that is used by the draconians. By far the most manoeuvrable fighter with lateral thrusters to enable them to do sharp turns and even strafe sideways when needed.

There are two designs of these sleek fighters. The "Pegasus" class (middle) and the "Raptor class" (top left). There are little differences between them. "Pegasus" class ships have a larger missile bank while "Raptor" class feature advanced scanners and communications. The "Raptors" are often given to only squadron leaders.

Both fighers are very lightly armoured, however feature very heavy shielding to compensate. Their primary defence is the pilot's skill and the agility of this spacecraft. Needless to say only the most elite of draconians will fly these rare craft.

The appearance of a squadron of these fighters may turn the tide of a battle. Although classified as fighters, they are well known to be able to carry many different kinds of weapons, even small numbers of anti-capital ship bombs that are normally only carried by bombers. Precise hit and run tactics against far larger vessels have resulted in numerous capital-ship class kills for these craft.

As seen here, one of the spectacular moments of the Cygnus II campaign was the destruction of the Andrean Dreadnought Harvester of Flesh, where bombs were accurately delivered into the primary weapon, hanger, engine and reactor by one squadron.

These fighters are well known to do seemingly impossible missions and survive.

Squadrons of these fighters are rare due to the extreme difficulty in piloting one of these craft. They operate either in pairs or squadrons of 4. Usually there is only one squadron in a medium sized battle carrier.

Armaments:
3 twin-linked primary gun ports, modular mount.
2 twin-linked secondary missile banks. Modular config
1 tertiary weapon system. Modular config.
