XM003 Uraali AstroFighter (12)

Xygritt Matriarchy

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

      The Uraali AstroFighter is in truth more of a long-range interdictor. It carries six missile pods, which are typically armed with eight light long-range missiles. These allow the Uraali to deal with enemy fighters – or occasionally, even capital starships – from a safer distance.

      However, once limited the missile stores are emptied, the Uraali has only a pair of lazer cannons to fall back on. It is no more manoeuvrable than the Passalla, but it does at least benefit from 50% more shielding.

  The Uraali is unusual in that there have been several recorded instances of a high-ranking male being permitted to use a craft. Such instances are very rare, and usually follow only a male who is deemed to be beyond approach. However, it is likely to only take one instance of even simply perceived defection for these pilots to be more than a footnote in Matriarchal history.
