With recent developments by many nations of FTL space fighters, IASA felt it was their duty to create such technology. Thus, after many hours of hard work, the science jockeys back at the lab pulled it off. Since IASA had no money in the research budget to make a new spaceship, they decided to simply refit the ridiculous Stymphalia with FTL, shock mitigation, an actual cost, gravity mitigation tech, and a real maneuvering system (still controlled with dance dance revolution tech, though, because the astronaut fighters liked that.)

Specs:

• Name: Stymphalia-02
  
• Type: Heavy Fighter
  
• Make: Iocaste Aeronautics & Space Administration (IASA)
  
• Crew: 1
  
• Length: 20m
  
• Wingspan: 25m
  
• Height: 8m
  
• Powerplant: Covert Universal Nether Energy Channel (CUNEC) powering life support, shock mitigation from cannon, internal machinations, and 2x GODDARD fluctuation drives
  
• Top Speed: sublight-.6 lightspeed, FTL-3x lightspeed
  
• Range: sublight-just over 1,000,000 kilometers (6hrs @ top speed), FTL-2,698,132 kilometers (3hrs FTL)
  
• Armament: 1x  integrated TNT Type A, scaled down for mobility
  
• Shields: None
  
• Weight: 6lbs (with gravity mitigation, 5.3 tons without)
  
• Maneuvering System: Omni-axial gyroscopic system with Dance Dance Revolution input system
  
• Cost: 30,000 Iocasti rupees (So much fun to say. Just roll it around in your mouth; it's awesome. Say it: RUPEEEEE!) (Approx. 10,000,000 USD)
  

The Stymphalia-01 was originally released to combat Skylord Daemons. However, it became quickly apparent that without space capability and FTL, they Stymphalia was sadly lacking. Therefore, Prime Warlord Eab issued a mandate to IASA: "Make it FTL". And they did. The fighter was re-released as the -02 variant once equipped with FTL and grav-mit tech. The new and improved Stymphalia was able to fill its niche perfectly as a long-range fighter packing a serious punch, and holds its own against Daemons, Javelins, and SFXA-128s. Currently, the Stymphalia is open for export to all current members of Celestial Chaos in .schematic form.


(Happy now, Airships?)
