Cheap, reliable, and easy-to-produce, the PF-926H "Novaflare" Light Patrol Starfighter is the newest light fighter out of IMS R&D. In controlled testing areas, the Novaflare has excelled beyond the TIE/ln, and in some situations, surpassed the TIE Interceptor! The Novaflare is primarily designed as a border defence fighter, patrolling systems alongside SPCs, and protecting the Empire's interests in the Outer Rimworlds. As of now, the PF-926 is in its eighth and final revision. All eight prior prototypes are located on the XCV-3 Havoc, awaiting word from High Command to begin mass production. As a matter of fact, the Novaflare will be one of the few craft produced primarily in the IMS shipyards, with Galactica Starfighter and Corellian Fightercraft carrying a temporary contract.
The weapons of the Novaflare are nothing spectacular; in fact, they were simply taken off of a TIE Defender, the focusing matrix made larger, and the power supply increased, which increased laser damage (but decreased range). The shields were taken off of a stolen X-wing, and power supply boosted. Power generation for the Novaflare is made possible by a Type SFR-34Adv micro-solar fusion reactor. The hyperdrive is slower than many of IMS' other ships, but this is to save on mass and volume. Several of IMS' original ideas were put into effect for the Novaflare in order to put the maximum available electronics, shields, weapons, and more into the smallest chassis. The work paid off, and the Novaflare is the astounding result.Tactical Deployment: The Novaflare is now being mass produced by IMS shipyards and other subsidiaries. Admiral Thrawn's Outer Rim taskforce has received three squadrons already, with two more on the way. Novaflares will also be sent to sector HQs in Mid Rim sectors for use as system defense and anti-piracy craft.
