Storm Raider Class

The AOV Sigma043 is a typical heavy fighter aboard the Austrin carrier Battalion. A perfect example of the Austrin penchant for heroics, this Storm Raider-class starfighter comes equipped with a bare minimum of defense, communications, and sensors – all sacrificed to make room for a single devastating matter torpedo. Storm Raiders generally carry out attack runs on cruiser-sized vessels or larger, escorted by standard fighters or frigates for protection. In fact, their mass reactor cannot maintain the necessary power level to run every system during a torpedo deployment. As a result, Austrin pilots must shut down all but their forward sensors during the final approach to their target.
