Hornet-class 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 has a thin, rounded body with wings that can be deployed in atmospheres. The command pod has its own section, and can be ejected in emergencies. It is lightly armored and shielded but highly maneuverable. Its laser cannons can be turbocharged, causing twice the normal damage but are prone to overheating. Even when not turbocharged, the lasers are more powerful than standard. The Hornet was initially used only by Tenloss and those groups it allowed access to the Hornet, although shady deals with other criminals and organizations have made the Hornet available elsewhere.
