Description: Basically a two-man fighter, one for piloting controls and the other for fire solutions, the WSC-L is a ‘light white star’. Using most of the same devices on a smaller scale, the WSC-L is a fast, lethal and expensive addition to the White Star fleet.

The addition of the second crewman came as an afterthought due to the extreme speed and agility that the super heavy fighter could manage. It took all of the concentration of the pilot to keep control of the darting vessel; so many targets were missed or omitted altogether. By adding a dedicated weapons control chair behind the pilot’s crash couch, the target-to-kill ratio increased by 300%. It had seemed that the design was just too good for one man to utilize, but a pair of trained Rangers would do just fine every time.
