General information

Faction: EMPIRE
Class: Interceptor
Role: ECM
Rank: 9

Description

ECM ships are meant to interfere with the normal operation of enemy ships. An ECM ship is always an important target for any enemy ships, so they have better defences.

Similar to its prototype "Swarm", the GJF-17B interceptor "Black Swarm" forms the basis of the Interceptor Squadrons within the Legion. The similar design of the airframe and the main units made it possible to produce both versions of the interceptor on the same production lines. Nevertheless, the electronics and some components of the ship give the Black Swarm an advantage over its prototype.
