Storm (Miy'til starfighter)

Custom-Modified Hapan Cluster Miy'Til Fighter
Prince Isolder, crown prince to the Hapan throne, personally designed his starfighter. Starting with the hull of a standard Miy'Til fighter, more than half a million credits of refinements have turned storm into a fighter that can stand against any small ship in the Hapan Cluster.

The ship is just over seven meters long, shorter even than the New Republic's A-Wing starfighter. This required Hapan engineers to miniaturize many components to make them fit inside the small ship. The ship also has a prototype R2-Series5 astromech droid that was a gift from Princess Leia during the first negotiations with the Hapans. The R2(S5) was a perfect match for Storm's systems, which were too advanced for normal R2 units.

Storm is equiped with four Nordoxicon 38 anticoncussion-field generators for defense. It is armed with a cluster of triple-linked laser cannons and a miniconcussion-missile launcher with ten custom-built missiles. Each wing sports an ion cannon, and there are twin thermal-detonator bombing tubes with a total of sixteen thermal detonators.

Directly in front of the canopy is a communication and sensor jammer very similar to the one on the A-Wing. This device allows Isolder to block target locks and communications from enemy fighters. Storm's concussion missiles are equipped with a sophisticated targeting system that allows them to overcome the jammer.

The ship has a transparisteel canpoy that allows good all around vision. Four Incom 6x4 fusial thrust engines have been modified with Tykannin class-4 power converters to give the ship the sublight speed of the TIE Interceptor. Each one has an oversize Cygnus turbo generator for short bursts that propel the ship to speeds one-third faster than that of the Republic A-Wing Fighter.

Storm is a common sight in battles in the Hapan Cluster because Isolder often led his fighters into battle. During a rescue attempt involving Pincess Leia, the ship crash-landed od Dathomir. Storm was recovered and rebuilt after the battle.
