Xygritt Matriarchy

Scale: Fleet (very nominally 1:1500th)

Four squadrons (48 fighters) supplied.

Size (Bounding Box, Sprue/Base): 28.55mm x 36.1mm x 8.12mm (8.15mm x 8.2mm x 4.12mm individually)

The Uraali AstroFighter is in truth more of a long-range interdictor. It carries six missile pods, which are typically armed with eight light long-range missiles. These allow the Uraali to deal with enemy fighters – or occasionally, even capital starships – from a safer distance.

However, once limited the missile stores are emptied, the Uraali has only a pair of lazer cannons to fall back on. It is no more manoeuvrable than the Passalla, but it does at least benefit from 50% more shielding.

The Uraali is unusual in that there have been several recorded instances of a high-ranking male being permitted to use a craft. Such instances are very rare, and usually follow only a male who is deemed to be beyond approach. However, it is likely to only take one instance of even simply perceived defection for these pilots to be more than a footnote in Matriarchal history.
