Gear:

• D-Drive
• Matter/Antimatter Power Plant
• Ejection Seat: This accessory allows the vehicle's crew and passengers to safely disembark while it is still in mid-flight. It can be used as the vehicle is being destroyed.
• BSE Virus Generator (X=2): This accessory allows a vehicle's crew to attempt to infect a target craft with a disabling computer virus as an attack action. The Difficulty of the attack action equals 25 times X, where X is a whole number from one to three. If successful, the target craft is immobilized and its shields drop for a number of seconds equal to the degree of success. The effects of this accessory may be blocked by a successful Signal Filter Communications Save.
• Signal Filter: If infection with the BSE Virus is indicated, a Difficulty 25 Communications roll may be made in order to avoid its effects.

Description: The Icarus is a mid-range civilian heavy fighter which is primarily flown by independant operators. Icarus' pilots run the gamut. On one side, one of the finest pilots in the Tri-System, Orpheus, flies an Icarus. On the other, Youri Halargin, a corporate spy, posed as Kraven Technologies' Kain Borman by flying one. The Icarus is also the fighter of choice for Pablo Donerkiel of the Tri-System League of Hunters.

The Icarus entered service before 2686. Notable Icaruses include K376_351S (2787), which received a four year ban on travel in the Irrulan System due to traffic violations, R365_211S (2786), E122_343D (2788) and G457_745H (2789). Another Icarus, S234_421A, is the corporate transport for McReady Medical.
