Banshee Pursuit Fighter MkII Police

The Banshee is a high-speed pursuit fighter jointly designed by Hemera Driveyards and Aether Dynamics to assist law enforcement with Operation Starwatch. It was created to fill the need for a dedicated fighter platform capable of short-term prisoner transport. The Mk II improves on the features of the original, offering greater maneuverability and firepower in the same compact frame. With its unique, retractable detention cell, the Banshee can carry up-to 4 prisoners without sacrificing its combat effectiveness. The Banshee's main drive system was originally designed as an auxiliary thruster for Hemera Driveyard's line of heavy frigates; it is capable of accelerating the vessel to 270 m/s in agility mode, and upwards of 350 m/s in boost, giving it the speed to catch even the most evasive suspects.

While originally designed for system security forces, the Banshee has found a great deal of success in the closely-related field of bounty hunting. It has also become a popular civilian fighter-craft, with some pilots modifying the Banshee's prison cell into a cargo bay. The Banshee has even seen military service in the role of a high-speed interceptor, replacing the aging Canis-class interceptor in many fleets due to it's superior speed and overall smaller spaceframe.

The law enforcement variant of the Banshee is equipped with 2 Charon Tactical B-2 "Lancer" Beam Cannons, designed specifically to overwhelm a target's shields and overheat their systems without destroying the craft. This loadout maximizes the chance that a suspect can be captured intact. In the event that a suspect's ship is harder to crack, the Banshee is also equipped with 2 Charon Tactical R-4 "Bulldog" Rotary Autocannons to shred the hull and pierce the critical subsystems of a target.
