While designed as a space-faring vessel, the ship actually performed better in atmospheric flight, with a (reported) top speed of 1,200 km/h and its aerodynamic frame provided a better atmospheric maneuvering performance than all but high-performance airspeeders.
On the dorsal fuselage, a fire-linked pair of Senko Systems "Tru-Lok" 5000x2 laser cannons were mounted in a turret. The stabilizers were kept vertically in flight, with the ion cannons deployed above and below the rest of the ship the fins rotated horizontally for landing, putting them on either side of the ship in a more traditional winged configuration.Ī third Dar-2 ion cannon was housed in the nose of the ship, with a concussion missile launcher and proton torpedo tube flanking it starboard and port, respectively. Two forward-swept stabilizer fins branched out from a rotating assembly at the aft of the ship and housed two of the Mendarn Arms Dar-2 ion cannons. On short wings on the side of the cockpit it housed two Siep-Irol "Omni-Vu" sensor pylons. It was standard equipped with a Class Two hyperdrive and a limited nav computer capable of storing four jump coordinates, and was stocked with sufficient consumables for a month of independent operation. The most popular variant, the GAT-12h, had a standard crew consisting of a pilot, copilot/sensor operator, and two gunnery officers however, the ship could be piloted by just one person. While small enough to be carried aboard capital ships as a starfighter, its immense power output (produced by a Sarylcorp ViX multi-flux reactor), weaponry, and shielding caused some registries to designate it as a capital ship itself. The Sienar Fleet Systems GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat was, early in the Galactic Civil War, the smallest hyperspace-capable combat starship in use by the Imperial Navy.
