Arnold's Adventures
Rogue class starfighter - 3
It is a heavily modified rogue class starfighter which was initially piloted by IG-100 MagnaGuards as a part of the army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the fall of CIS and the rise of the Galactic Empire, Ron Quinmar - a young dreamer - fount what was only a spaceframe of a once elegant and deadly interceptor that had crashed as part of one of the massive battles in the last days of the war, but it was more than enough to spark his dream to become a pilot who pierces between stars. Ron's father was an engineer in Incom Corporation (the company that made most Rebel ships), but his passion was design. So one day, as a gift for his son, he drew a couple of calculated blueprints for what was one of the most beautiful and elegant designs the sky itself has seen combining gorgeous curves with sharp lines and daring proportions. As a miracle, one day, Ron's dad was able to source an experimental engine unit from the factory (hence the reverse T-shape intakes as on x-wings and other Incom's ships) which could accelerate rapidly and allow the light spaceframe to achieve ludicrous speeds, but for their size, they needed a lot of cooling witch was perfectly suited for the massive intakes. All of the other panels were handmaids which allowed the fine shapes to be achieved. To fast forward, after countless successful races and quite a reputation gained, the overwhelming grip of the Empire kept tightening and the decision on which side are you on became inevitable. Then once a famous and skilled racer Ron Quinar joined a local rebel partisan group. He had made a fair amount of money by winning a few races therefore he was able to arm his ship generously. He installed two laser "miniguns" as already seen somewhere in the Mynock squadron, added two ion cannons and installed two proton torpedo launchers. Since additional armament was added, some systems had to be relocated, that's why there are two bits of exposure machinery, oh and also a droid slot was added to allow Quinar's droid PT-3 to travel with him, and do some in-flight repairs if needed and calculate hyperspace routes. With time the partisans and other resistance forces all united into the Rebel Alliance and Ron was an honourable member within the ranks of the pilots who dedicated their lives to retrieving freedom in the galaxy.
I made this ship to enter a contest hosted by TJ the Brickwright in which you needed to create the 5th member of the Mynock squadron - Mynock II. In order to participate, it was mandatory to have no landing gear, or bits of exposed machinery and to be a "dark side" starfighter - Turned out to be great fun! :)
