The Porax-42 had interstellar range and was fitted with highly effective, long-distance sensor systems that provided early warning of enemy activity. It was based off the successful Porax-38 model. Each sensor was mounted in a forward facing cone along with the scanning systems, and both were connected to powerful jamming devices. These large P-42 fighters-C were also capable of independent hyperspace jumps, which enabled them to defend sector space. Versatile thrusters, dual-reactor systems, and high-capacity deflector shielding made them a valuable asset to the Loyalist forces. Rather than using a single shield generator the ship had a deflector shield projector web. This web covered a large portion of the ship and had many individual heat sink cells embedded into it.
