CloakShape fighter/Legends

Kuat Systems Engineering's CloakShape Fighter was a space and atmospheric starfighter that still found use on backwater worlds and in private arsenals years after it was first deployed. While it lacked the performance of newer craft, its reinforced hull made the vessel quite resilient. Years after they were first regarded as outdated, CloakShapes could often be found in service as system patrol craft, smuggler blockade vessels, and support vessels for anti-piracy actions.

The fighters had comparatively small powerplants which made them less than ideal for combat in deep space, but they performed competently in planetary atmospheres. The CloakShape's simple design, modularized compartments, and universal adapters encouraged modification, allowing them to be fitted with a variety of aftermarket systems. Though stronger weapons, greater fuel storage, and more powerful engines were common choices, the most popular addition was the Curich Engineering rear wing and stabilizer conversion kit; it was so common that many assumed that the original fighter came with the stabilizer. The rear wing made the fighter more maneuverable, and allowed a Class Three hyperdrive sled to be attached to the vessel. Even with this modification, however, the CloakShape still had it's flaws; like the Z-95 Headhunter, its relatively slow sublight speed allowed heavy weapons, normally useless against a starfighter, to target the sluggish craft.
