Description/role:
Not posessing the production capabilities to efficiently design and construct their own escort fighter, Project Familiar instead turned to the impressive record of the Republic Special Force's mainstay fighter, the Venom. Commissioning several of these craft through military contractors, PF labs stripped the model nearly to its bare bones--reworking the electrical systems, modifying the armament, and going over the engines with a fine-toothed comb to get any performance boost they could from the design.
The result was a frighteningly effective stealth escort for the Rishii-class and Solarspan transports, accompanying them in groups of 2-3. Combat trials have shown that their potent EM weapons and electronic infiltration systems in combination with a state-of-the-art anti-missile system and miniaturized gunboat-level shielding make these craft extremely difficult to down, even when greatly outnumbered. However, its performance comes at a prohibitive cost and as such there are currently only sixteen prototypes in existence--eight of which are in service aboard the SDE-2 Destroyer "Espial".
Also they're invisible.
Or at least painted green.
Since space is full of moss.
