It is a multipurpose fighter, measuring 42 feet in length, with a pair of large sublight engines flanking the frame, with a set of wings that extend from the engines, each with a pair of s-foils that raise up and below, giving it an extra X to its front profile, that help radiate excess heat. Crewed by 3 members and an astromech, made up of pilot, co-pilot and tail gunner. Armed with two primary forward lasers and two lighter lasers in the rear, mounted on top and below the rear of the hull, and a proton torpedo launcher in the nose, with mountings on the wings for up to six concussion missiles, and a sensor jammer with shields for protection. 5 days worth of air, fuel and food are stored onboard before using up the cargo space. ARC-170 Starfighter (PL6)Type: UltralightSubtype: FighterSize: Gargantuan (-4)Tactical Speed: 4000 ft, 1147 (115) atmosphereDefense: 11 (10 base -4 size +3 class +2 dex) +4 vs missilesFlat-Footed Defense: 9 (10 base -4 size +3 dex)Autopilot Defense: 8 (10 base -4 size +2)Hardness: 22Hit Dice: 10d20 (200 hp) + 75 hp shieldsInitiative Modifier: +2Pilot's Class Bonus: +3Pilot's Dex Modifier: +2Gunner's Attack Bonus: +2Length: 42 ftWeight: 12,700 lbsTargeting System Bonus: +2Crew: 3 +1 astromech (trained +4)Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 240 lbsGrapple Modifier: +8Base PDC: 37Restriction: Mil (+3)Attack: 2 fire-linked heavy laser -2 ranged 12d8, 20, fire, 4000 ft, s/a; orProton Torpedo Launcher -2 ranged 10d12, 20x3, energy, 5000 ft, single, 6 torpedoes Tail GunnerLaser -2 ranged 6d8, 20, fire, 3000 ftAttack of Opportunity:  Bonuses: -5 to Sensor checks vs Class III or less, 20% miss chance vs missilesStandard PL(6) Design Spec: Twin Engine, Ejector Seat, S-Foils, Targeting Rangefinder, Pivoting MuzzleEngines: Ion engine, Hyperdrive x1.5Armour: Polymeric reinforcedDefense Systems: Heavy Shields, autopilot, sensor jammerSensors: Class III, Missile Lock Alert, Targeting SystemCommunications: Radio TransceiverWeapons: 2 heave Laser cannons, 2 lasers, proton torpedo launcher (6 torpedoes), optional wing mounted 6 concussion missilesGrappling Systems: Heavy ShieldsThese shields are stronger than standard shields, providing greater protection. These shields provide 30 hp per HD of the ship equal to one-fourth the starship's overall Hit Dice (rounded down, minimum 1).PDC: Shield type +2Restriction: Res +2 Ejector SeatThe cockpit is fitted with a seat that has rocket boasters, and designed to quickly blast away the canopy, or top hatch to eject the seat and pilot to safety in the event the craft is destroyed immediately. Upon the craft reaching 0 hit points, the ejection system will eject the pilot safely away. However if the craft would be destroyed (see table 7-5 for destruction threshold, d20 Future pg 113 for negative hit points for ship type) by the attack that bought the equipped craft to 0 and below, the ejection seat still ejects the pilot, but must make a Reflex save DC 18, failure the pilot suffers half damage from the ship's destruction (10d6), success means the pilot only suffers 1/4 the damage (5d6). The pilot must have a space suit or other means to survive the vacuum of space. If the ship is destroyed while in a planetary atmosphere, it is equipped with a parachute to safely land.The ejector seat is also equipped with a distress beacon which can be programmed for either general distress on all frequencies, or set to only friendly forces. S-FoilsThe ARC-170 wings are fitted with S-Foils that raise from the top and body, which expose heat sinks and active cooling radiator panels which help cool the ship and improve the shield generator's effectiveness. While the S-foils are open, when one crew member restores the shields, increase the HP restored by 25% rounding down.The s-foils need to be closed before activating the hyperdrive or landing. Can be opened or closed as a free action. Targeting RangefinderThis device improves the accuracy of the equipped weapon over longer ranges. The equipped weapons attack penalty past the first range increment is half. For example, at 3 range increments would normally suffer -2 to attack rolls, now instead suffers only -1 to attack rolls. Pivoting MuzzleThe muzzles of the main weapons of the ARC-170 are designed to tilt, causing the laser beam to tilt by as little as a few degrees off-axis, improving accuracy at short distances. If target is within half the first range increment, gains +1 to attack rolls with the heavy lasers. AC-170The AC-170, or Aggressive Courier, is a variant of the ARC-170 that is modified to act as a transport for VIPs or transport small important packages. The rear weapons are removed, the cockpit modified to remove the controls from the second seat, and the rear is converted into a sleeper unit with a mini refresher. The onboard supply storage is increased to 8 days and the cargo bay is enlarged.Besides the rear lasers removed, the proton torpedo launcher is also removed, leaving only the two heavy lasers for protection. With the lighter weight, and upgraded engines, the AC-170 is a bit faster, which allows it to avoid combat and get its passenger or cargo to its destination. The hyperdrive is also upgraded to a x1.25 so it's also faster in lightspeed.Make the following changes to ARC-170 to create a AC-170:Reduce crew capacity to 1;Increase passenger capacity to 1, 2 in cramped conditions;Remove 2 lasers;Remove proton torpedo launcher;Increase speed to 4500 ft;Change hyperdrive to x1.25;Change consumables to 8 days;Increase cargo capacity to 275 lbs;Add sleeper unit;Protected Cargo;PDC: +1 Sleeper UnitThere is bed, curtain and a small built in refresher unit built into the back the ship allowing the pilot or passenger to rest and sleep. Protected CargoThe cargo bay is armoured, so in the event the ship crashes or is destroyed, the cargo will survive. The pod has hardness 50, 50 hit points once the ship has been destroyed. It has a complicated physical and digital locking system, DC 24 to pick and DC 25 to hack the digital lock. AnvilThe Anvil is a Colonial built version of the ARC-170, with the same general shape, but lacks the s-foils and has a thicker and slightly more angular hull, and in particular lacks the astromech droid slot. It fills the role of an assault Raptor, in that it is heavily armed, bringing a large number of heavy weapons and missiles. To keep logistics simple, the Anvil mounts weapons found on Raptors and Vipers, mounting twin railguns slung under the ends of the wings, and mounts two railguns in a single mount turrets on the rear, similar to the lasers on the original ARC-170, while an internal missile bay contains CHE missiles, with underwing mounted missile pods can carry both CHE and Cobra Mk2 missiles. The Anvil also mounts a jump system, allowing it to strike at distant targets without a carrier ship, allowing it to work with heavy escort for Raptors on deep strike attacks. Requires 3 crew, the pilot, who flies and operates the main rail cannons and can use missiles, the co-pilot/operator typically operates the jump system, jammers and defensive systems, but can also fire the missiles, and a rear gunner that operates the rear rail cannon turrets, and can use the chaff system. Anvil Heavy Fighter (PL6)Type: UltralightSubtype: FighterSize: Gargantuan (-4)Tactical Speed: 4000 ft/5000 ft afterburner, 1147 (115)/1600 (160) afterburner,  atmosphereDefense: 11 (10 base -4 size +3 class +2 dex) +4 vs missilesFlat-Footed Defense: 9 (10 base -4 size +3 dex)Autopilot Defense: 8 (10 base -4 size +2)Hardness: 20Hit Dice: 11d20 (220 hp)Initiative Modifier: +3Pilot's Class Bonus: +3Pilot's Dex Modifier: +2Gunner's Attack Bonus: +2Length: 42 ftWeight: 13,700 lbsTargeting System Bonus: +2Crew: 3 (trained +4)Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 150 lbsGrapple Modifier: +8Base PDC: 37Restriction: Mil (+3) Attack: 4 fire-linked modified rail cannons -2 ranged (12d12, 20, 3000 ft); or2 Fire-linked CHE missile -2 ranged (9d12/19-20); or2 Fire-linked Cobra Mk2 missile -2 ranged (7d12/19-20) optional Tail GunnerModifed rail cannon -2 ranged (6d12, 20, ballistic, 3000 ft) Attack of Opportunity: None Bonuses: -5 to Sensor checks vs Class III or less, 20% miss chance vs missiles, +2 Pilot checks Standard PL 6 Design Specs: Twin Engine, RCS Mk1, ejector seats, emergency jump, spool upEngines: Fusion torch engine, thrusters, hydrogen injectors, jump enginesArmor: PolymericDefense Systems: Chaff launcher with 12 chaff bundles, sensor jammer, missile lock system, Autopilot systemSensors: Class III sensor array, targeting systemCommunications: Laser transceiver, radio transceiverWeapons: 4 fire-linked modified rail cannons (range incr. 3,000 ft.), 2 rail cannons (rear turrets), 2 CHE missile launcher (6 missiles ea), optional 2 Cobra mk2 missile launcher (5 missiles ea) and optional additional 2 CHE missile launcher (4 missile ea)Grappling Systems: NoneEjector SeatThe cockpit is fitted with a seat that has rocket boasters, and designed to quickly blast away the canopy, or top hatch to eject the seat and pilot to safety in the event the craft is destroyed immediately.

Mk1 Grants +1 to Initiative, and +2 to Pilot checks to perform stunts PDC 14; Mk2 +2 Initiative, +2 to Pilot Checks PDC 15; Mk3 +2 Initiative, +3 to Pilot checks, PDC 16. Emergency JumpThe jump drive of the Raptor is capable of making a second jump within 1d4 rounds after it completes its first jump back to the coordinates it left from. However after the jump the ship is immobile for 2 rounds as the engines reset. Spool UpThe jump engines of the ship can be spooled up and remain spooled for an extended period of time, allowing the pilot to jump quickly. While the jump drive is spooled up (taking the normal time to spool), the pilot can as jump as a free action, even as a reaction to an attack, making a Reflex Save DC the attack roll of the attacking ship. On a successful save the ship jumps away safely suffering no damage. If the pilot fails by less than 5, the ship jumps away but suffers half the damage of the attack. A failure the ship takes damage as normal and jumps away at the end of the attacker's turn. Cobra Mk2 Missile (PL 5-6)An upgraded version of the Cobra air-to-air missiles modified to also function in space with slightly improved targeting and warhead. +1 to attack rolls against ultralight craft.Name: Cobra (air-to-air missile)Weapon Damage: 5d12Critical: 19-20Damage Type: BallisticRange Increment: -Rate of Fire: SingleMinimum Ship Size: HugePurchase DC: 22Restriction: Mil (+3)</blockquote>
