Aurevex-class ugly starfighter

Aurevex-class "ugly" starfighters were hot rod starfighters that consisted of the parts of an Aurek-class tactical strikefighter and a Ginivex-class starfighter, as well as additional modifications.

Design
Aurevex-class starfighters were made from the hull of an Aurek-class tactical strikefighter, minus the struts, the cockpit and rotated fan of a Ginivex-class starfighter, a double-barreled ion cannon at the nose, extra cannons on the weapon struts, and a small drone bay that was customized to carry Nova Flare-class drones. These drones were deployed in battle against cruisers. They would be assigned a target and fly toward it, using its heavy armor, shields, and ion cannons to defend itself. When it reached a certain point along the cruiser, its torpedo-filled wings would extend, and its torpedoes would fire all at once, resulting in a nova-flare. It would then fold back up and return to the starfighter that deployed it. This made Aurevex-class starfighters tremendously invaluable to whomever used it, and also temendously expensive. Its manufacturers were technicians within Emerald Fleet, an independent fleet that would allign itself with whatever side of a conflict they saw fit, and would also provide assistance to civillians in danger from pirates. The delicate starfighters were immensely difficult to hit when their fanblades weren't extended, and when they were, they projected an immensely powerful deflector and particle shield. However, their energy output jumped through the roof, meaning that they shone brighter than some cruisers on power output scanners. When the fanblades were not extended, however, they could easily hide from such scanners. Like Ginivex-class starfighters, whether the fanblades were erect or not, their cannons would swivel forward, however, unlike its Ginivex cousins, its blade was horizontal rather than verticle.
