[[Precentor]] [[Vapula]]'s first foray into [[aerospace fighter]] technology, the ''Striga'' is based in part on the knowledge gained by the Blakists' work on the [[FWLM]]'s ''[[Shiva]]'' OmniFighter, but takes it in entirely different areas with an [[Small Cockpit|ultracompact cockpit]] and multidirectional thrusters that only the elite cyber-enhanced [[Manei Domini]] can hope to take full advantage of. The multipositional thrusters and collapsible wing structures also lend the Spectrals their hallmark, almost halving the fighter's profile to the point it resembles a [[Small Craft|shuttle]] or [[escape pod]] in vacuum.<ref name=TRO3075/>

The primary ''Invictus'' configuration mounts impressive forward firing weaponry with a nose-mounted [[Gauss rifle]], supported by a [[heavy PPC]] under each wing. Twin [[ER medium laser]]s mounted in the nose and aft provide backup support once the two tons of Gauss reloads are expended. Two additional double heat sinks attempt to combat the high waste heat of a large energy weapon loadout, with [[CASE]] added in the event of a Gauss rifle rupture.<ref name=TRO3075/>

*; Alternate Configuration A (''Dominus'') : The ''Dominus'' configuration offers impressive firepower in the form of a [[RAC/5]] and [[Streak SRM-4]] in each wing. The ''Dominus''' [[CASE]] protected ammo bays carry six tons of autocannon reloads and one ton of Streak missiles, with a single nose-mounted heavy PPC to defend itself as it withdraws to rearm.
