Jumpstar HPF starfighter

Jumpstar HPF starfighter The Jumpstar HPF starfighter was a specialized starfighter deployed by the Galactic Alliance during the Sith-Imperial War and the subsequent Anti-Sith Insurgency.

Characteristics
The Jumpstar HPF, or hypserspace pursuit fighter, was structurally very similar to the A-9 Vigilance interceptor that was produced by Kuat Drive Yards during the Galactic Civil War. It's pair of advanced engines and specialized regenerating shields allowed the Jumpstar to match many other starfighters of it's time, though it was outpaced by the best interceptors. In addition to a forward mounted laser cannon, the Jumpstar was armed with 8 marker missiles. These missiles were not designed to destroy an enemy craft, but rather attached a homing beacon that allows a Jumpstar to track it's target.

Role
The Jumpstar HPF was capable of serving as a standard starfighter, though it's specialized role was as a tracking vessel. Powerful engines, a set of retractable sensor arrays, and marker missiles made the Jumpstar a formidable pursuit craft. It's primary duty was to pursue escaping enemy starships and track them.

History
One of the Galactic Alliance Remnant's elite fighter units, Twisted Star Squadron, flew the Jumpstar HPF. During the Battle of Caamas, this squadron had been deployed in anticipation of tracking any Imperial warships that escaped. However, then the battle turned into a Alliance rout, Twisted Star Squadron was among the units to escape with Admiral Gar Stazi.
