Description
From a Star League 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
- -Z2 House Steiner variant replacing the single Large Laser with five RAMTech Medium Lasers, two on the wings and three on the nose and fuselage.
- -Z3 Trades arms for armor, replacing the Large Laser for two Medium Lasers and using the three extra tons for armor. Noted for the crudeness of the armor plating, since modifications were post Star League and do not protect vital areas well.
