the Phantom X-19 Stealth Fighter
The Phantom X-19 is a aircraft shrouded in secrecy, and is the source of countless rumors amongst conspiracy theorists and military enthusiasts alike. There's a good reason for that, too: to this day, the government has not acknowledged its existence.
Using leading-edge technology, the X-19 is designed with stealth in mind. It has an aerodynamic frame, radar absorbing paint, internal weapon bays, and many more features to elude even the most advanced of detection methods. The Phantom X-19 has these capabilities:
Handling RV 30 |
Velocity RV 500 |
Durability RV 20 |
Protection RV 10 |
Armored Canopy: the Phantom X-19 has a multi-layer, heat-resistant fused silica 'slider' access cover, which provides its pilot and navigator / gunner the Protection rating listed above while in flight, versus either physical or fire and heat based attacks.
Bullseye II Missiles: these projectiles are not weapons like the Phantom X-19's Little Guys. Instead, they are computer-controlled, high resolution cameras mounted on rockets supported by gliding wings, allowing a remote peek at almost any target. They have these capabilities:
Handling RV 20 |
Velocity RV 500 |
Durability RV 10 |
Protection n/a |
Communications Array: the Phantom X-19 is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system. This system provides rank value 40 communications power (with a 1,000 mile maximum range) that features rank value 30 signal encryption.
Flight: the primary purpose of the Phantom X-19 aircraft, it can fly... and fast! It can move in excess of Mach 3 when necessary (2,375 MPH), which is rank value 500 flight. It doesn't always go so fast, but it can definitely do so when the situation demands it.
Invisibility to Infrared and Radiowaves: thanks to its radar absorbing shape and 'blackball' paint, as well as its low IR signature ramjet intakes, the Phantom X-19 is invisible to infrared detectors (save from directly behind) at rank value 20, and radar systems at rank value 50.
Laser Cannons: these low-noise weapons are twinned, energy-diverting pulse-fire laser emitters. Each pair can be fired to inflict rank value 20 Armor Piercing Energy damage per blast, though if both pairs are used at once, this damage is increased by +1 RS.
Little Guy Missiles: these twin BY-106 long range air-to-air projectiles can be fired to deadly effect by the Phantom X-19's crew. They can inflict +1 RS damage if both strike a single target simultaneously, but otherwise have these vehicular characteristics:
Handling RV 30 |
Velocity RV 500 |
Durability RV 20 |
Damage RV 30 Slashing (fragmentary) |
Radome: this 'early warning' system is mounted on the rear of the Phantom X-19. It absorbs and processes incoming radar pulses, allowing the Phantom X-19's crew to know when people are looking for them (and to track them by their own signals). It works with rank value 30 ability.
