Condorian Slicer

*KAMIKAZE ERA=NEW JEDI ORDER Condorian Slicer

The ‘’’Condorian Slicer’’’ was the standard vehicle for Condorians during the Second Clone War. It served as the main starfighter for the Condorians’ alliance with the CIS II and also a part-time walker tank, with its modes differing.

Details
The Slicer had a concealed cockpit in the back of the craft, where the pilot sat. The spacecraft was shaped roughly like a Geonosian Starfighter, though it had a third beam on top of the first two. Laser cannons rested between the upper and lower beams. An ion cannon perched atop the highest beam and a concussion missile launcher was placed on the bottom beam.

The most unique feature of this craft was its two rotating slicer fins, which were similar to the Hapan Dragon Speeder’s radiator wings in purpose and functions. The double slicer fins on either side of the ship could rotate at enormous speeds and make contact with a stationary target. The slicer fins radiated enough excess energy in this process to act as the equivalent of a giant lightsaber blade, and so the fins would easily ‘’slice’’ through the target, disabling and usually destroying it.

These wings could also act as legs in “walker mode.”

Uses
The Slicer was created to prepare for the planned Second Clone War. It served primarily as a starfighter, but, for creative pilots, these uses could also be put forward:

Walker
The radiator wings of the Condorian Slicer could point downwards and act as legs. The main body of the starfighter would then act as a turret with legs, similar to the AT-ST and similar “walker” designs. This mode was used when most enemy targets were flying vehicles that could not easily fire upon the ground without either making themselves a slow target or speeding towards the surface.

Kamikaze
The Condorians believed that if they were martyred in battle, they would become entities when they reached the afterlife. This promoted kamikaze attacks and other methods of suicide run. The Condorian Slicer was rather fast in both atmospheric and space battles, and was also lined with an explosive material that self-destructed the craft when it was surely doomed anyway, so the spacecraft itself made an efficient missile.

Transport
Although not the most luxurious or preferable method of travel, the Condorian Slicer could carry two passengers and a Universal-class Battlemech Droid. This allowed it to serve as a small transport vehicle, with a hyperdrive rating of 1.5.
