About this hull
The Speedstar is the fighter Umara has kept flying for 500 generations without ever firing it in a real war. Ancestral records indicate the Speedstar fighters were built with the Marconians specifically in mind — a design inheritance no living Umarian pilot had ever expected to need.
200 Speedstar-class fighters form up around the Kraz'n cruiser as the Umarian fleet launches into orbit — the first fleet action in Umarian living memory.

Forward spine
A long needle prow ahead of the cockpit, giving the airframe its distinctive silhouette in the Larcastle skies.

Spherical drive
The rear-mounted luminous drive sphere is the fighter's signature — visible at distance as a single blue star.

Squadron doctrine
Squads A and B flank the cruiser directly; Squads C and D fall back one mile above and below, out of initial sightlines but close enough to respond.
