The Firehawk is a ship that is run down and fairly beat up. It is a green ship that apears to be about 30 m long, and only about 16m wide. It starts out as a point and slopes up to a about 8m tall, levels off, then comes back to only about 3 or 4 m. This is where the engine is and is about 2/5 of the ship. It has a quad cannon facing backwards out from the main hull, and a spoiler on the back. There are 2 laser cannons on the front, and a torpedo tube on either side of the cockpit. There is an area on the bottom where a turrent drops down when it takes off, that has twin heavy blaster cannons. It also has a thermal detonator dropper that has a magizine of 5 detonators. However most of the equipment on the ship is jury-rigged and frequently breaks down, so all of it is very iffy equipment. It utilizes experimental landing gear that are massive claws that are heavily reinforced. When it lands, it flys down at high speeds, then the claws grip with huge magnits, so can make quick landings. It also has wings that can slide in, but greatly reduces manuverability. It puts multiple repulsers on the bottoms, so that you can turn it sideways, and "bounce off things or turn very easily. You must be a decent pilot to fly the ships, since yaw is not the best answer. Instead you use the repluserlifts well, and bank and then pull up in the direction you want to go. Inside the ship, the cockpit takes up most of the room. Behind the cockpit is a small bedroom for one, and behind that is the lounge. There is a hallway on one side of the bedroom, so you don't have to walk through it to get to the cockpit. The lounge has a holoprojecter, a couch, a gameboard, and a cooking unit. The acces hatch is attached to the lounge. The Firebird utilizes a x1.5 hyperdrive. This is not military grade, but is close. It has fairly good sublight engines, better than a y-wing, but less than a tie fighter or x-wing. In fights it either outruns gunships or other transport sized craft, or outguns fighters. As soon as I can load up a picture I will. |
