The Sylvester is Riscah Tyour's personal fighter, designed to allow him to pass as one of the many independent fighter jocks currently roaming the galaxy. However, while many of those jocks tend to fly ships that both look and fly like junkyard rejects, Riscah's funding and sense of self preservation has made the Sylvester a hot ship, despite it's somewhat dilapidated appearance.

The primary difference between the Sylvester and other Y-Wings are the Ballistae Torpedo launchers. An innovation of the Yaeger Imperial Development Group, Ballistae-XR have been equipped with a very powerful Trillium/Magnesium "White burn" engine. That Engine, and it's fuel supply, takes up much of the space of the torpedo, but the higher impact velocities compensates for the smaller warhead. The missiles themselves are somewhat larger than Proton Torpedoes, and take up most of the space formerly used for the ion cannon turret. The main problem of Ballistae XR missiles, their cost, is not much of a problem for Riscah, though he does have problems finding others when out of the Yaeger sector. For this reason, the launchers are capable of holding an additional four proton torpedoes, and the missile systems can be switched over in the space of five seconds.

The other systems of the Sylvester are all somewhat tweaked, preforming at slightly higher levels than they could be expected to. However, none of this is apparent from the outside, as the Sylvester has a cheap and peeling black and white paint job, with insignia of several military organizations, most of which are partially excised, decorating the wings. The removed Ion Cannon turret looks as though it simply had a layer of durasteel plastered over it. Finally, the improved shield generators bulge out of the chassis, and have been equipped with non-essential static generators, whose sole function is to spark, steam, and interfere with the ship's intercom and subspace radio.
