Guardian Mantis

The Guardian Mantis was Vana Sage's trademark ship. It was a unique starfighter of Xi Char design.
==Characteristics==
An extremely maneuverable three-winged craft, it could brake to a complete stop midflight as well as enter a stealth mode. Vana's astromech droid, Mod-3, maintained and repaired the ship while on board.
It was armed with two laser cannons, a nano missile launcher, and a unique ion encumbrance system. This system launched small ion-enabled "tags," projectiles which attached to enemy vessels and caused an ionization effect which disabled their deflector shields. These tags could also be used as homing beacons for the nano missiles.
