Komar-class Interceptor
As the SCO took on more responsibility for hunting down pirates and marauders, they found that many of the enemy ships could easily out-accelerate theirs, ultimately escaping engagements only to pop up elsewhere in the sector.
To combat this, Astrojinx developed the Komar-class interceptor. While less maneuverable than a standard fighter, its engine power gives it a much higher thrust-to-weight ratio. This makes them one of the fastest ships on the market.
Once a Komar closes in on its target, it can engage with its axle-mounted plasma cannons, which have a nearly 180 degree lateral arc. This allows the Komar to either make attack runs, or fly tight orbits around their target. In either case, their weapons can be firing at vital subsystems the entire time without the pilot needing to line-up to their target.
Feedback regarding alternate weapons hardpoints have led to Astrojinx announcement work on the Komar Mark II.
