![]() For use in combat, the Swordfish II carries four, sealed internal machine guns for short to medium range firing and one turret mounted, high-powered plasma cannon attached to the ventral side of the fuselage for long range attack. The fusion engine uses a standard aero drive but has been modified with a booster nozzle, which acts as a short-range impulse drive. The ship was originally owned and operated by Spike's friend Doohan, who was responsible for most of the high performance modifications made to the ship. Utilizing the MONO system (Machine Operation & Navigation of Outer space) the Swordfish II can travel in an atmosphere or in space and is capable of both achieving orbit and atmospheric re-entry. Like most one-man MONO craft, the Swordfish II features a fully enclosed cockpit pod which can launch from the main body and has limited space flight capabilities. When landed, the two wings can be folded up and overtop the craft to make the Swordfish II easy to store inside a hanger or ship bay. These thrusters grant the craft V/STOL capabilities, lifting into the air with very little need for launch space. The incredible speed of the Swordfish II enables the craft to rapidly overtake most other aircraft/spacecraft and the ship features numerous high-powered thrusters allowing for quick stops and instant changes in flight. Named the Swordfish II, this racer has been used for over a decade by bounty hunter Spike Spiegel and is well suited for his dangerous line of work. variable range missiles (mounted one per hardpoint on each outside wing edge)Īn old MONO racer, this spaceplane has been modified and refitted extensively to give the craft superior performance and handling. ![]() 1 x high-powered plasma cannon in turret (mounted on ventral side of the fuselage).4 x internal medium range machine guns (mounted over and under in each actuating wingtip fence).Propulsion: many x directional and lift thrusters 1 x reverse thrust vectoring plane (mounted on aft booster)ĭesign Features: MONO computer cockpit pod with manually operated low-thrust verniers, a short range booster and variable tint transparent hull: 2 x general purpose towing cables (mounted one in each wing) Power Plant: nuclear fusion aero spike engine with modified booster nozzle Swordfish II (plasma cannon in firing position)Įquipment Type: customized MONO racer and spaceplaneĪccommodation: pilot only in ejectable cockpit podĭimensions: length 13.8 meters width 13.3 meters height 4.8 meters ![]()
