These fighters are the among the highest quality ships ever
produced by the Yaeger Nation, by the independent Milos Shipyards.
Hard and compact, the Skar ships can outfly and outfight just about
any other fighter commonly fielded in the Yaeger Sector. They have
never been produced in great numbers, because of their high cost,
and many of the Skar that were produced were destroyed in the
battle Oth'Lenar.
The weapon systems of the Skar deserve special attention. The
plasma guns have been modified from the Yaeger standard for
starfighter weaponry, with the plasma being formed inside the
weapon itself, not having the usual internal production and
pipeline out that is such a danger to the other Yaeger ships of
it's class. The Aether series of missiles, as with most Yaeger
charge missiles, has a modified internal shield generator in it's
head. The shield is designed to overcharge, and produce an
explosive field capable of producing almost as much energy as a
matter/anti-matter reaction. The Aether 7 has eliminated many of
the problems that plagued the earlier missiles of that series. It
is now a long ranged, highly accurate munition, that unfortunately
is also ridiculously expensive.
In addition, the Skar 2HAS is equipped with the new Yaeger
Hyperdrive accelerator. When engaged, increase the efficiency of
the ships hyperdrive by up to a factor of 10. This boost only
lasts for a few minutes, and the variable nature of the power and
duration of the boost make it necessary to completely recalculate
the astrogation figures after leaving an accelerated hyper.
Excessive use of the accelerator infallibly causes a complete
system failure aboard any ship.
Notes: As the Skar are equipped with the new Yaeger
hyperdrive accelerator, they are even less likely to be for sale
than ordinary Yaeger ships. Despite standard military custom,
personal ownership of a Skar class ship is strictly forbidden
inside Yaeger space, and the government of the Yaeger nation might
very well go to war if one of these ships were stolen.
