CAI-12 Kath-class Interceptor

Description:
The CAI-12 Kath-class Interceptor is the cream of the crop in Corellian Engineering Corporation’s starfighter line-up, boasting high speeds, both in space and in atmospheric conditions. The whole purpose of the Kath Interceptor was to provide a military-grade interceptor that could stand up against the high-speed starfighters of MandalMotors, and possibly beat some of them. A primary design aspect in the Kath is the thin profile, something that makes air glide off the surface in atmosphere, and cuts down on weight to raise the top speed to an impressive 140 MGLTs.

However, one drawback to this thin profile is the equally thin armor. Though the durasteel can take one or two direct hits from standard laser cannons, anything more powerful would chew through it like a Corellian Slice Hound to rotten meat. To counteract the thin armor, CEC Designers tacked on a C4 Deflector Shield Generator, which is rated at 70 SBD, but had the drawback of lowering the initial top speed to the current 140 MGLTs. However, as it provides defense to the pilot, it is well worth it.
