Epsilon-4 Striker

"A striker? How do you expect me to fly that?"

- Misha

The Epsilon-4 Striker was a ship used by the Jedi from 65 ABY until 73 ABY. It featured room for an astromech unit as well as 2 laser cannons and 2 ion cannons. Jedi Padawan Mino Matsuura and Jedi Master Zubiir Qe'lana were people who used this fighter.

Details
The ship was created by Jongal Shipyards for the Jedi. It was not buyable because of the fact that the Jedi Order used such ships. Its small frame made it hard to hit. It could carry two, a pilot and an astromech. Its layout was similar to that of a T-70 X-Wing, but it lacked long wings and had one S-foil on each side to move its trapezoid wings up and down and bleed off heat. It had a laser cannon on the end of each wing and an ion cannon on each side of the nose.

Production
Production began as early as 62 ABY, when the Alliance of Secession from the New Galactic Republic conflicted with the aforementioned and began war against them. The Jedi needed a starfighter that could effectively combat large amounts of the Praxis-class starfighters of the Secessionists.

Usage
The first Jedi to fly one of these ships instead of the more common Theta-12b fighter was Zubiir Qe'lana. This page is a work in progress. Please do not edit until this message is removed.
