N'Akkiarlian Heavy Fighter

"I really feel sorry for them IGADS guys! I mean they must know when going against our T-650 Super-Xs theyre facing certain death in them huge flying coffins!"

- A GFSS Super-X pilot speaking abowt the N'Akkiarlian Heavy Figher

The N'Akkiarlian Heavy Fighter was a heavy starfighter primarily used by the N'Akkiarlian Star Empire during the Great N'Akkiarlian War. It was made by N'Akkiarl Shipyards, the company which made all of the Navy's and Army Air Division's ships.

The actual designation of it and when it entered service was unknown by the GFSS, they knew it simply as the N'Akkiarlian Heavy Fighter, whilst GFSS starfighter pilots knew it as the IGADS (which stood for "Ive Got A Deathwish Ship"), due to the fact they were so slow and sluggish and didnt stand a chance against dedicated space-superiority starfighters like the T-650 Super-X. To the GFSS pilots they were like s their ancestors flew a millenium before, "As slow and sluggish as a tired Hutt" one GFSS pilot described them as.

Despite their obvious inferiority to the T-650 Super-Xs the Heavy Fighters were good at taking down GFSS bombers and transport ships, abowt mid-way through the war the Heavy Fighter found a neesh in destroying GFSS transport ships, as the Heavy Fighter's laser cannons and missile launchers made it good at destroying troop transports it could also carry bombs and torpedoes which meant it could destroy cargo transports as well. Squadrons of Heavy Fighters were used to destroy cargo fleets, meaning capital ships could focus on destroying armed warfleets. However soon the GFSS started deploying carriers full of Super-Xs to defend the cargo fleets, which was good to the N'Akkiarlians as it diverted the carriers from war fleets. In response to this change of GFSS naval tactics the N'Akkiarlians assigned anti-starfighter destroyers and escort carriers to defend the Heavy Fighters during their attack on the cargo fleet, at times the capital ships also helped the Heavy Fighters destroy the cargo ships.
