A new starfighter is commissioned. The Phoenix, it is extremely fast and powerful. On each wingtip it a heavy laser, twice the size of each of the two on a Myr, it will one shot nearly fighter and is capable a heavily damaging cruisers and destroyers. It also has two missile launchers, they are normally loaded with light cluster homing missiles for targets the lasers can't hit, heavy torpedoes like missiles for capital ships, or nukes; each launcher has a substantial magazine. There is a small bomb bay though normally it isn't used.

It is blisteringly fast and maneuverable in space, designed after encounters with the siths TIE Fighters. It is slightly faster and more maneuverable despite added weight do to the maneuvering thrusters on each wing, in an atmosphere however it loses much maneuverability though still on par with most fighters.

These are very expensive and only used in small numbers. A standard Scion of Frost will have 12 of them compared to 700 Myrs each. Phaedras will not have any so far. One battle group is going to have all Phoenixs though this is still only conceptual.

So in short a fighter worthy of carrying its nation's name.
