Daggerstar Light Interceptor

History
The Daggerstar is a small starfighter used as an interceptor in the Kraelis Sector. It was a descendant of the locally produced Star Knife Interceptor model but unlike its predecessor was designed for full operational capability in space. The Daggerstars entered service shortly before contact between the Imperium and Kraelis and remained the primary Starfighter model of the sector's battlefleet. A movement among the officers of Battlefleet Kraelis who had been assigned to task forces sent to nearby sectors and seen the Fury class Interceptors, and Starhawk class bombers used by the bulk of Imperial battlefleets led to the creation of the larger Swordstar class Interceptor in mid M41 Daggerstars remain the primary Interceptor craft for Escort size Carriers, and larger non-carrier battlecraft.

capabilities
The Daggerstar class interceptor is 15.4 meters in length. It carries a single pilot and two dedicated missile hardpoints along with a third multirole hardpoint. On Daggerstars assigned to carriers this hardpoint is typically used for a third missle or a disposable fuel tank while the rare planet based Daggerstar wings usally equip this hardpoint with a booster to allow the craft to reach escape velocity. In addition to the hardpoints the craft carries a nose mounted triple-linked Lascannon array and two multi-lasers with one at the end of each wing
