Description[edit]
The STM-O Sternensturm light 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 was introduced, 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[edit]
The Sternensturm is capable of high speeds and is utilized as interceptor thanks to its Pitban 320-rated extralight fusion engine. The craft's airframe is capable of handling 10 tons worth of OmniPod weapons and equipment and is thickly armored for a light aerospace fighter, being 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 ER medium lasers are mounted in the craft's nose while each of its wings mounts a single SRM-4 launcher, supplied by a single ton of ammunition.[6]
Alternate Configurations[edit]
- Alternate Configuration A
- This advanced tech configuration of the Sternensturm has a singular, powerful ER PPC which is augmented by a PPC capacitor. BV(2.0) = 1,693[7][8]
- Alternate Configuration B
- Capable of effectively undertaking escort duty and screening missions, the B configuration was armed with four anti-missile systems split between its wings. In addition, the fighter mounted a Guardian ECM suite and Beagle active probe to give it additional electronics warfare capacities. This Sternensturm configuration's offensive weaponry consisted of four ER medium lasers. BV(2.0) = 1,512[9][10]
Design Quirks[edit]
The Sternensturm has the following Design Quirk:
Related Fighters[edit]
- Morgenstern - The Sternensturm was designed by Lockheed/CBM as a complement to its larger brother.[11]
Notes[edit]
The name "Sternensturm" translates from German as "Star Storm."
