Rend-class fighter

The RF-2 Rend-class assault fighter is a cheaply-produced and easy to fly snubfighter manufactured by Gorxi Industries and used predominantly by criminal groups and private militias. It won infamy for its usage as the primary fighter used by the Dark Star Empire during the Great War. While its modification capabilities are open and give it room to improve, the unmodified original is a sub-par fighter with only the bare minimum in destructive capability and maneuverability.
== Characteristics ==
Gorxi's penchant for strangely designed fighter craft is evident with the pointed and cramped Rend-class, which saw several recalls and modifications before it saw widespread use during the Great War. Small and tight of frame, it relied more heavily on speed, maneuverability, and the general skill of the pilot to see it through different engagements.
One trait it is praised for by owners is the accessibility its design has and how easy it is to modify and upgrade. Drexel Ruze, an ace pilot known as the "Red Reaper" of the Dark Star Empire, commended the craft as a versatile base for a much greater starship.
=== Propulsion and Power ===
The Rend boasted a single thruster engine fueled by inexpensive tanks of Gilka gas. It had modest maneuverability and speed that made it weak against most Core ships alone but more dangerous in swarms.
=== Armament and Defenses ===
Boasting a pair of twin-mounted, wingtip laser cannons and a single warhead launcher mounted underneath the base of the ship, the Rend earned its' name as a capable assault craft on its' own during the war. Said warhead launcher is capable of firing flechette missiles, cluster bombs, photon missiles, and incendiary rockets.

=== Cost and Value ===
The ‘’Rend’’ was a cheaply made fighter produced by Gorxi Industries for the purpose of cost-efficient defense for developing colonies in the Reach. Made to operate in large-scale fighter wing deployments, the ‘’Rend’’ was soon found to perform sub-par against most other developing vessels of its time. After being phased out in favor of other snubfighters, the ‘’Rend’’ became a cheap to produce purchase fighter that saw limited use in the underworld before becoming the primary snubfighter of the Dark Star Empire. Ever since the Great War, the ‘’Rend’’ has been made illegal to own or operate within the Core regions and all remaining ‘’Rend’’-class fighters left after the war have been sold or scrapped.
