Hornet Interceptor
The Hornet interceptor was a sleek, insect-like fighter built on the black market for the Tenloss Syndicate. It was designed to emulate the TIE fighter: fast, lightweight, and easily mass-produced with low-cost standard parts. It had a thin, rounded body with wings that could be deployed in atmospheres. The command pod had its own section, and could be ejected in emergencies. It was lightly armored and shielded and highly maneuverable. Its laser cannons could be turbocharged, causing twice the normal damage but were prone to overheating. Even when not turbocharged, the lasers were more powerful than standard. The Hornet was initially used only by Tenloss, but the designs for this craft eventually fell into the hands of corporations. The result? A knock-off design remarkably similar to the original product in most respects.
