LetheYards, a corporation formed by a number of ex-Imperial contractors, has recently released it's first production run. The Hangman fighter is designed to be the prime seller of the initial run, and initial sales figures indicate that it is going to fill that role admirably.

A short and stubby craft, the Hangman's four laser cannons are all nose mounted, with the primary power plant located directly behind the cockpit. This configuration allows the cannons to put out massive amounts of power in a concentrated area, though at the expense of accuracy. The ion cannons are mounted at the very edges of the wings, for a wider range of fire.

The Hangman is fully capable of atmospheric combat, with heavy, fixed wings giving it superior lifting power, especially when compared to those craft that rely exclusively on their drive power to carry them through, without worrying overmuch about aerodynamic stability. Designed to compete with the X-Wing fighter, the Hangman looks to be a near match for that craft, though it is somewhat more expensive than the battle tested Incom fighter.
