The Aggressor assault fighter was a high-performance starship produced by Trilon, Inc.
Characteristics[]
Easily identifiable by its insectile shape, the Aggressor was characterized by a thin V-shaped twin-decked hull,[1] and made use of ailerons and maneuvering thrusters in conjunction with variable positioning to give the craft extremely high maneuverability.[1][2] The front of the craft was dominated by two flat mandibles, which served the purpose of housing some of the crafts weaponry, as well as acting as magnetic docking clamps.[1][2]
IG-88 showed the versatility of the Aggressor design by modifying the craft to its absolute limits.[1] Under the direction of IG-88, the infamous Aggressor fighter IG-2000 had its engine replaced with a Galaxy-15 ion engine from an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate, and was powered by three tandem Quadex power cores that fed directly into the ship's drives; further, the ship was modified with heavy shields, enhanced targeting arrays, and heavy armaments.[1]
History[]
Aggressor assault fighters were used by Mandalorian Protectors during the Second Battle of Fondor and by Jedi turned Mandalorian Bardan Jusik. One of the best known Aggressors was the IG-2000, the personal starship of the assassin droid and bounty hunter IG-88.
