Description: Powerful, sleek, fast and accurate; the Tyzmm is one of the most feared fighters in the galaxy. Competing with the likes of the EarthForce Thunderbolt and the Drazi Sky Serpent, it packs enough firepower to completely disintegrate lesser fighters and punch holes in capital ships. A well-planned attack run by a flight of Tzymms can leave a small patrol ship or blockade runner a smoking ruin. They are a perfect blend of mobility and savagery; truly a miniature version of most Vree ships.

Using a fusion cell to give the ship a little extra speed while managing the actual flight patterns and maneuvering through saucer gyroscopics, the Tzymm can even outclass smaller and faster fighters when things get close in and very tight. The only drawback to the Tzymm – if any – is that its size and shape makes it extremely difficult to put into a ship’s hangar without serious modifications like those found in the Xeel war carrier.
