Sixth-millennium starfighter: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:07, 12 June 2026

Croad forcing Starbuck's shuttle down using a sixth millennium fighter.

Sixth-millennium starfighters are obsolete spacecraft that the Proteus enforcers use to patrol and defend Proteus, having been in service in between yahrens 6600 to 6800. Croad pilots such a craft, pursuing a sixth-millennium shuttle smuggling ambrosa ^{(TOS: "The Long Patrol")}.

Notes

The design of the sixth-millennium starfighter is extremely similar to that of the Colonial Viper, with the sixth-millennium starfighter fuselage much more squat and featuring two engine turbines rather than three. It, like the Viper, is armed with a pair of laser cannons.
Given Proteus' severance from the Colonies during the Thousand-Yahren War, and the age of Ambrosa at the time Starbuck encounters Robber as numbering 500 yahrens, the model's known service history is more likely than not defined as being within the latter of half of the sixth-millennium.

 ==Notes==
-* Although apparently 1,000 yahrens older, the design of the sixth-millennium starfighter is extremely similar to that of the [[Viper (TOS)|Colonial Viper]]. The sixth-millennium starfighter fuselage is much more squat and has two engines rather than three. It, like the Viper, is armed with a pair of [[laser]] cannons. [There's no indication they are a thousand yahrens older. The Sixth Millennium would ends in 6999, which is only 343 yahrens before 7342.]
