Preybird Starfighter

Preybird-class Heavy Assault Fighter is designed by the SoroSuub Corporation. The prototype was first released during the years of the Rebellion. The production model of the Preybird was only produced in limited numbers. Disputes, concerning the weapon systems of the fighter, lead to the order that production had to be stopped. The appearance of the Preybird is, as already the name tells us, birdlike. The fighter has a complement of heavy weapons, whose control systems were computer guided. The design of the Preybird later was picked up by the remants of the Emprie, by Moff Disra. He obtained Preybirds and replaced the TIE starfighter complements with the Preybird fighters.
