Description
The STM-O Sternensturm Light Class OmniFighter was originally produced for the Lyran Commonwealth's Armed Forces. In the aftermath of the Jihad, the LCAF's aerospace assets were devastated. To help fill the need for more light fighters, Lockheed/CBM of Tharkad was commissioned to create a new design to help replenish its forces. While the fighter would be produced for Commonwealth's armed forces, it would also be sold to mercenary commands who maintained contracts with House Steiner, including the Kell Hounds.
Shortly after the Sternensturm, the light fighter would soon prove its value in 3099, when it was utilized against Clan Jade Falcon forces conducting an exploratory raid on Graus. Assigned to the 2nd Donegal Guards, the fighter made a big showing by providing ground support fire against 3rd Falcon Talons.[5]
Weapons and Equipment
The Sternensturm is capable of high speed and is utilized as interceptor thanks to its Pitban 320-Rated Extra-Light Fusion Engine. The craft's airframe is capable of handling 10 tons worth of OmniPod weapons and equipment. Thickly armored for a light aerospace fighter, the craft's hull is protected with 11.5 tons of Donegal Omni-Sheath Heavy Ferro-Aluminum. Like most aerospace craft, the fighter's armor is thickest in its nose, while its aft receives only a modest amount of armor.
The Fighter's Primary Configuration consists of intermediate and short ranged weaponry. Three Extended-Range Medium Lasers found in the craft's nose. Each of its wing's mounts a single 4-tubed Streak Short-Range Missile launch, while hull carries a single ton of ammunition.[6]
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config. A
- This advanced tech configuration of the Sternensturm has a singular, but powerful Extended Range PPC which is augmented by an PPC Capacitor. BV(2.0) = 1,693[7][8]
- Alt. Config. B
- Capable of effectively undertaking escort duty and screening missions, the B Configuration armed four Anti-Missile Systems split between its wings. In addition, the fighter mounts a Guardian ECM Suite and Beagle Active Probe to give it additional electronics warfare capacities. This Sternensturm configuration's offensive weaponry consists of four ER Medium Lasers. BV(2.0) = 1,512[9][10]
Notes
The name "Sternensturm" translates from German language as "Star Storm."
