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.

-'''Notes''':
+'''Miscellaneous''':
-*'''Bio-Adaptive Shielding''': Whilst not as advanced as the adaptive armor found on Vorlon vessels or the living skin found on mighty Shadow ships, the armor fitted to this ship is the most advanced of any race, perhaps even including the Minbari. Bio-adaptive shielding will automatically halve the Total Offence of any barrage that hits it.
+*Artificial Gravity: Yes
-*'''Minbari Flight Computer''': The computer systems built into most Minbari spacecraft are incredibly advanced, to the point where an authorized passenger simply need state where he wants to go and the vessel will simply take him there by the most expedient route, avoiding any dangers and hazards automatically. The flight computer is so advanced that it can even fulfill most combat operations successfully, with minimal input from its passengers. The Minbari flight computer may be activated during any order, though most Minbari vessels with one installed will have it permanently active. As long as it is activated, the craft may ignore any impaired penalties due to damaged control or crew areas. In addition, any Operations checks, Pilot checks or attack rolls may be made by the flight computer (4D+2).
