Miy’til Fighter
The Miy’til is a small, fast, lightly armed starfighter built by Olanji/Charubah for the use by the Hapes Consortium. The manufacturer enjoys great support from the Hapan royal family, guaranteeing that no other starfighter is constructed in large numbers within the Consortium. Of course, that protection lasts only as long as the Miy’til is seen as a quality product worthy of the Hapan tradition of beauty and excellence. Although it’s true that Olanji/Charubah goes to great lengths to polish and decorate every Miy’til, it also constantly reevaluates the design to ensure that it remains current with other starfighters.
Because of the Hapes Consortium’s long history of isolationism, it’s impossible to say exactly when the Miy’til first entered service, but it’s certain to be after the Clone Wars. Many starship engineers fled the losing side of that conflict, and it seems likely that some took refuge in the Consortium and brought their starship design expertise with them. The Miy’til is the standard fighter of all Hapan military units, carried in fair numbers by Battle Dragons and smaller ships. Although X-wings are also valued for their better ability to sustain damage, the Miy’til is piloted with pride by its pilots as proof of Hapan equality witgh other starship designers.
Capabilities
The Miy’til fills its role as a space superiority starfighter brilliantly. As a small, fast craft the ship makes it easy for the Hapans to get wings of fighters wherever they are needed quickly. Outfitted with a week’s worth of supplies and a good hyperdrive, patrols of Miy’tils can sweep through large volumes of space with very little additional support.
The original generation of Miy’til fighters placed an astromech droid in a top-mounted socket, similar to how ARC-170s carry them. Later generations built a fully enclosed compartment for onboard astromechs, giving them slightly better protection. Many of the older Miy’til are still in service. Command fighters also exist, which add a third laser cannon, two ion cannons, and a second missile launcher. Such command fighters are extremely expensive, but highly valued by wing leaders. Members of Hapan noble families often own Miy’til fighters that they modify yet further, personalizing them as a sign of rank and wealth.
