ARC-360 Heavy Starfighter

Description:
The ARC-360 is the complete redesign of the ancient 170 of the Clone War-era. RevoGalactic teamed up with the prestigious Sublight Production Corporation to tackle it's new design. It is aided with an impressive amount of firepower and armor for one single ship for it's size, because it's role is made to work as a long-range scout and recon vessel, thus be well-armed to maximize the survival of the scouting party. Many lovingy refer it to a miniature war-machine, and all-purpose starship. It boasts an impressive hyperdrive and a decent speed for a starfighter of it's size, but it's maneuverability is what outclasses it from any other heavy starfighters. It's production cost alone makes it more of a commodity, but in a paranoid galaxy where many systems grow weary of looming attacks, it has been poised to become a popular ship throughout the Galaxy.

It's dual engine design provides it's advanced maneuverability, aided with etheric rudders, capable of making wide turns and quick barrel rolls with little difficulty. To pilot is capable of firing the front-most laser cannons if no co-pilot or gunner is available, but the other weapon systems are reserved for the co-pilot and gunner roles. These are usually seen flying in patrol groups of three, capable of easily overpowering a heavy freighter and even giving larger vessel's a headache, as such they also serve well as patrol ships. It's only compliment is the compact Undicur-class speeder bike for exploration missions. It's price and upkeep is what helps seeing an entire wing of these almost impossible to see, though some of the richer planetary systems would beg to differ. It sells for 200,000 making it a quite expensive ship, but a price that could be easily justifiable in such troubling times.
