PH002 Byraxin Raider (12)

Phystyulons

This version is on the new sprue standard, which also functions as a base.

      The Byraxin raider is one more expression of the Phystyulon’s light missile vessel paradigm. Fast, agile and lightly protected, the Byraxin’s main job is to deliver its payload of semi-guided rockets to enemy capital starships.

      The Byraxin has only a single Nazograk core which is internal and heavily shielded; the tip of the containment structure is the small, elongated pyramid at the top of the fighter.

      A squadron of Byraxins can unload a considerable amount of rockets, and while individually not particularly powerful the sheer numbers tend to overwhelm enemy point defence systems.

      The Byraxin is not as adept at dealing with other fighters. While it carries a pair of laser cannons and is nimble enough to be a reasonable dogfighter, this firepower is usually no sufficient to hold against heavier fighters. The Byraxin excels instead at long-range hit-and-fade attacks, using its Dro’Sanla drives.
