Well, the thing I was upset over isn't the starfighters, not at all. Though every squadron of fighters would probably bring with them a space transport that could transport anyone who's ship broken down or was damaged on such an indefinite long range mission. It would also carry extra fuel for the fighters, food, spare parts, etc. Though I doubt that Jaq'lene should be able to pilot aything because of her size. I really don't think she could be a pilot now that you mention it Kit, I mean all kinds of craft are built with medium beings she would need all manner of arm extensions and leg extensions, ick, not to mention she can be quadraped or biped, so thats not very conducive to piloting.
