Fiction:Galactic Empire of Cyrannus/Imperial Navy/Starfighters

"There are few things as deadly as a thousand sharp stings."

- Captain

Though the military tactics of the Empire place a far higher emphasis on the role of massive Star Destroyers measuring many kilometres, there has always been an important role for the Empire's advanced starfighters and shuttle craft. Indeed, though the military doctrine of the Imperial Navy favours low-maintenance and mass-produced designs, these weapons of war are no less deadly, with many possessing the capabilities of devastating far larger warships. The most successful fighters in the Imperial Navy are generally those designed by Tharasavis Ship Systems based in the vast shipyards over the ecumenopolis of the same name in the Inner Rim. Known as ASP Fighters, these infamous starfighters are the bane of countless Imperial adversaries.
