The 3D printable starfighter UPC โ Dartwader is a compact, single-seat patrol vessel equipped with a 3-point landing gear system. Its wings serve as outer supports during landings. A distinctive feature of this vessel is its opening mechanism and entrance, which allows the entire chassis to shift forward, accompanied by extensive cockpit windows.
โCaptain Zara piloted the UPC โ Dartwader through the cosmic currents, responding to a distress signal near the asteroid belt. As they neared the source, they discovered a disabled research vessel under attack by space pirates. Swiftly, the Dartwader engaged, its compact frame darting and weaving through the skirmish. With precision strikes, the pirates were repelled, and the Dartwader’s unique design allowed for a daring rescue mission, securing the stranded researchers. The patrol ship’s versatility had once again proven crucial in the face of unexpected galactic perils.โ
Functionality and Capabilities
Intended as a guidance ship for larger vessels, the UPC โ Dartwader lacks a jump drive, making it unsuitable for interstellar travel.
Its primary functions include surveillance, reconnaissance, and patrolling designated space sectors. In wartime situations, this adaptable craft can be armed and repurposed as an atmospheric bomber, demonstrating its versatility in various roles.
