Vessel designation:1st|ONI-Ibis Point of construction: Juneau Shipyard, Alaska Purpose: Reconnaisance and intelligence gathering. Primary area of operation: Earhart, Deep Space, behind enemy lines.
Equipment: XV-330 Focused Plasma Array MKI
The vessel's design was inspired by the various technology recovered from the area around Planet Toledo. Due to the vessels lying inert from 819 A.S. and being scavenged since all that time, we couldn't recover a functional reactor core. Even if we did, our technology has gone far in that aspect since that time. Instead, we have heavily modified the Ageira XV-330s, attempting to extend their range and speed at the cost of power available to weapons systems. For this reason, the Ibis has Light Fighter manoeuvrability with improved range.
The vessel has been equipped with state-of-the-art surveillance and intelligence-gathering equipment.
Frame
The vessel is built around the wreckage recovered in Omicron Minor around planet Toledo. It attempts to imitate the design of an Order vessel of a design dating to 815-819 A.S. while improving upon it with the latest technology the Juneau engineers could muster.
The frame itself serves a different purpose from the Liberator, the presence of forward-tilted wings allows for high-altitude atmospheric entry and reconnaissance.
while providing the vessel with a tiny rear profile that avoids detection when retreating from intelligence-gathering missions.
Armaments
The vessel is armed very lightly due to its mission parameters. The weapons systems are of civilian origin to avoid traceability in case of capture, utilising the Boltstorm, Stunpulse, Javelin missiles and standard cruise disruptors.
