Nantex-class Starfighter
When the [Republic’s clone army invaded Geonosis, its assault ships, starfighters, and gunships were met in orbit by swarms of Geonosian fighters. Though the Geonosian defenses were eventually swept aside, their swift response to the Republic’s invasion force bought the Confederacy enough time to mobilize its ground forces. Instead of accepting defeat at the hands of the Jedi and their clone legions, the Geonosian military castes became even more devoted to the cause of the Confederacy. the defeat of their homeworld polarized their support for the Separatists and became a rallying cry for the entire species. Though limited in numbers, the Geonosian Nantex-class fighters were a common sight in just about every major battle to come.
Capabilities
The Nantex-class starfighter, dubbed the “beak wing” by the Republic navy, is a Geonosian-designed interceptor. Though underestimated by many pilots in early days of the Clone Wars, the Nantex soon earned a fearsome reputation. Despite its small size, the Nantex is a durable and effective craft in the hands of a Geonosian pilot.
From the time each one hatches, a Geonosian pilot is paired with a specific flight computer. this has the effect of forming a seamless bond between the pilot and his starfighter. so strong is this connection that pilots who lost their ships in combat often waste away and die within weeks of the loss. The fighter’s avionics are tailored to Geonosian physiology, and the include pheromone emitters and specialized scent stimulators. Though this makes the craft impossiblle for members of other species to operate, it serves to further increase the frightening efficiency of Geonosian pilots.
The Nantex is modular and easily configurable to a number of different mission profiles. The forward section of the fighter is equipped with scores of small tractor-beam emitters that are used to increase the accuracy of the fighter’s laser cannon. As a result, a Nantex within 2 squares of a target gains a +1 equipment bonus on attack rolls. Geonosian starfighters have been clocked at over 20,000 km/h under optimal atmospheric conditions, but effective maneuvers are practically impossible at such speeds.
