Originally designed and developed on the world of Selene by Rebellion loyalists working for an Imperial shipbuilding company, the S-5 Vampire starfighter was designed primarily to be a reconnaisance vessel. Its wide use by the Rebellion has earned this ship the nickname of "the Fat Boy". The S-5 has proven itself to be slower and less maneuverable than its counterpart, the T-9 Tornado. However, various performance reviews have indicated that this starfighter is best suited for escorting military supply ships. Recent rumors state that an upgraded version of the S-5, nicknamed "Bloodletter", will soon be released to replace the Vampire. However, recent galactic events have postponed the release of the Bloodletter, granting the Vampire a prolonged market life.   GDX Group S-5 Vampire Starfighter Class: Starfighter Crew: 1 (Skilled +4) Size: Diminutive (8.9 m long) Initiative: +8 (+4 size, +4 crew) Hyperdrive: x2 Maneuver: +8 (+4 size, +4 crew) Passengers: 0 Defense: 24 (+4 size, +10 armor) Cargo Capacity: 60 kg Shield Points: 60 (DR 10) Consumables: 1 day Hull Points: 60 (DR 10) Cost: 103,000 (new), 50,000 (used) Maximum Speed in Space: Ramming (10 squares/action) Atmospheric Speed: 1,190 km/h (20 squares/action) Weapon: Laser cannon; Fire Arc: F;   Attack Bonus: +10 (+4 size, +2 crew, +4 fire control); Damage: 4d10x2;   Range Modifiers: PB +0, S +0, M/L n/a Weapon: Concussion missile launcher (1 launcher, 4 missiles); Fire Arc: F;   Damage: 7d10x2; Missile Quality: Marginal (+5)
