The Super Kawarime transition fighter is an Endo/Exo-Atmospheric fighter that became available in YE 42.
The Super Kawarime or Super-K is an atmospheric/sub-light fighter. It can have a single or two seat cockpit. The Super Kawarime was developed to improve the usefulness of the Ke-V8 "Kawarime" Fighter. The V8-3x features upgraded systems that are now standard. The propulsion system Multi-Stage Aether Drive is an example. The Super Kawarime was requested by Taisho Mikasa Sorano for use by the Second Expeditionary Fleet in response to the latest Kuvexian War. Star Army Research Administration was involved in the project specifically the Ordnance Features.
Star Army Intelligence began retrofitting Super Kawarime fighters with Teisatsu sensors packages starting in YE 42, effectively creating the Ke-V8-3A/X “Super Teisatsu” variant.
The Super Kawarime is very responsive fighter craft.
See Damage Rating (Version 3) for an explanation of the damage system.
The Cockpit of the V8-3x Super Kawarime has the same features as the original:
This section provides information on some of the new and original features.
The Super Kawarime uses the Ke-V9-E3300 Compact Integrated Electronics System
The Super Kawarime uses the Ke-V9-E3301 Unified Tactical Sensor Array / FTL Ansible
The Kawarime has environmental controls for the safety and comfort of the occupants.
The Kawarime uses standard KFY artificial gravity systems. They serve two purposes: first is to provide standard 1G gravity for occupant comfort secondly they provide inertial compensation to reduce the effects of extreme acceleration on the occupants.
The Kawarime atmosphere processing subsystem uses a combination of scrubbers. The occupants can connect their Star Army Aerospace Flight Suit, Type 32 into the system for prolonged missions. The system has an emergency reserve for twelve hours should all power fail.
The Super Kawarime uses two Ke-V8-P4200 Compact Multi-Stage Aether Drive which provides power for the craft and Sublight propulsion.
It also features a Ke-V9-P3302 Hyperspace Fold Drive.
The Super Kawarime has Ke-V9-P3301 Ion Maneuvering Thrusters to provide yaw, pitch and roll control in space. They are located in the nose, the wings and fuselage.
The “Super-K” has an internal ordnance bay. It can also be used to store mission equipment. The bay doors retract to reduce how much of the bay doors are deployed. This helps reduce drag. The retracting bay doors also make it easier to remove mission equipment. It is capable of being loaded with various ordnance.
One of any of the following devices can be installed on each of the equipment mounts:
