Description

From a Terran Hegemony program to develop a small fast attack fighter, the Seydlitz was born. Lightly armored but with a heavy long range punch, the Seydlitz uses it's higher speed and maneuverability to win a fight. Designed as a short range fighter, only three tons of fuel are carried aboard. Seen almost exclusively in the Lyran Commonwealth, a few examples do exist with mercenary units and a few were captured by House Kurita, although none have been seen in combat to date.

Armament

Unusual for an Aerospace Fighter the Seydlitz carries only a single nose mounted RAMTech Large Laser. This does give the tiny fighter the ability to deliver a single devastating blow before maneuvering away from hostile fire and coming back for another pass.

Variants

  • SYD-Z1 - Introduced immediately after the succession of the Lyran Alliance, the SYD-Z1 is just renamed version of the classic SYD-21 to ensure commonality between the Seydlitzs designations. BV (1.0) = 508, BV (2.0) = 440[3]
  • SYD-Z2 - The SYD-Z2 is the House Steiner variant replacing the single Large Laser with five RAMTech Medium Lasers, two on the wings and three on the nose and fuselage. BV (1.0) = 640 [3], BV (2.0) = 716
  • SYD-Z2A - A modern version of the SYD-Z2, the SYD-Z2A features an XL Engine and Double Heat Sinks, also adding Ferro-Aluminum armor and extra fuel. [4][3] BV (1.0) = 820[5], BV (2.0) = 806
  • SYD-Z2B - A updated version of the SYD-Z2A, the SYD-Z2B features the same XL Engine, Double Heat Sinks and extra fuel, replacing the five standard mediums with four ER Medium Lasers and extra ton of Ferro-Aluminum armor. [3] BV (1.0) = 909[6], BV (2.0) = 906
