The Raven Strike Interceptor carries less raw firepower and protection than the X-wing, made famous by the New Republic, but its advanced drive systems and maneuvering thrusters make it both extremely quick and agile; able to intercept and pursue enemy ships with ease - even through the toughest of maneuvers in a standard fighter. If inertial dampners are left offline, the fighter can accelerate from a standstill to 115 MGLT in less than six seconds - exerting a force of three standard gravities on the pilot. Any maneuvers would add to this amount. Therefore, only the best inertial dampening systems were installed.
