Legend

this was the name of Prince Isolder's custom-modified Miy'til fighter, designed by Isolder himself. The creation of Storm cost Isolder nearly a half-million credits, but the ship can stand alone against some of the galaxy's best starfighters. Many of Isolder's designs later found their ways into future versions of the Miy'til fighter. Like the Miy'til basic design, the seven-meter-long ship has a number of miniaturized components that reduce weight and overall size. Storm was also equipped with a prototype R2-Series 5 astromech droid presented to him by Princess Leia Organa during her initial negotiations with the Hapans. Storm has four banks of Nordoxicon 38 anticoncussion-field generators, and a sensor and communications scrambler similar to the A-Wing. A set of triple-linked laser cannons sits at the nose of the fighter, and an ion cannon studs the tip of each wing. A mini-concussion missile launcher is slung beneath the wing, and twin thermal-detonator bombing tubes on the wings carry eight bombs each. The ship is propelled by four Incom 6X4 fusial thrust engines connected to a Tykannin Class-4 power converter. Each engine is linked to a large Cygnus turbo generator, and the entire engine package allows the Storm to reach speeds one-third faster than the A-Wing.
