Tech Room Description
The GTF Draco is the first dedicated military fighter designed by the Starr Corporation, and represents absolute dedication to one thing, and one thing alone - speed. In a straight line, the Draco is the fastest thing in the fleet, both with and without afterburners. This makes it ideal for either bomber escort or interception, as it is capable of controlling a vast region of space with relatively little effort, though this comes at the cost of extremely high maintenance costs on the somewhat delicate engines. However, in a dogfight situation against more agile enemies, the Draco's restrictive handling will become a major handicap. The Draco is still new to Alliance deployment, and time will tell if this model of fighter design has long term practical application. For now, only a few daredevil squadrons dare fly such an unpredictable fighter.
Blue Planet Tech Room Description
The GTF Draco is a recently commissioned interceptor design, a collaboration between Snapka/Flegel Weapons and Boone Thrusters. It is part of the Threat Exigency Initiative's Wave 2 response to potential future Shivan threats. The Draco is an extraordinarily agile and nimble interceptor with excellent linear speed. Evasive tactics for Draco pilots often consist of simply outrunning pursuers for minutes at a time. Though fragile and arguably undergunned, the Draco has the tactical flexibility required to cover multiple warships with effectiveness.
