[edit]The Missile boat was designed when Admiral Zarrin's campaign against the Empire's TIE fighter R&D and construction facilities reached at all time high. Zarrin could have continued his war against the Empire for some time, thanks to his technological edge, granted by his fleet of TIE Defenders- prompting the production of the Missleboat. Using a standard Starwing XG-1 Gunboat as the base design, the Missleboat is extremely fast, very maneuverable and armed with 4 specially designed missile racks with an overall payload of up to 80 concussion missiles. The missile boat was built with the idea to take out TIE Defenders in mind. The Missile boat is currently the cutting edge of spaceship technology. It is by far the fastest, most maneuverable, and heavily armed starfighter in use today. Because of the SLAM overthruster, the advanced systems and increased payload, the ship comes with a very steep price tag. The Empire is understandably careful with the handful they have. The Missile boat doesn't see a great deal of use, except in special engagements.
