Arentech SA-32A Ranger Interceptor Starfighter

Arentech AT-32A "Ranger" Starfighter The Arentech SA-32A Ranger Interceptor was a starfighter produced in the Antrixian Commonwealth from 25 BBY to 8 ABY. The Ranger became the main performance starfighter of the Commonwealth and the Antrixian Resistance, supporting the Arentech SA-23 StarFury Starfighter.

Summary
The Ranger was the first, fully atmospheric-capable space fighter used by Antrixian Military in hundreds of years. As with the earlier Starfuries, it featured a fuselage with four swept-back wings arranged roughly in an X formation, with each wing mounting an Ion engine. Unlike the earlier versions, the pilot was not in a standing position, strapped to an acceleration table. Instead, the pilot and co-pilot were seated in tandem in a classic style cockpit. Because of it’s larger size, the Thunderbolt could operate as a stand-alone unit. It had a class 2 hyperdrive, which it’s predecessor, the Starfury, did not. The Ranger also boasted new Ion drives, making it an even match with a Starfury. Its primary purpose was as an aerospace superiority/interceptor fighter as well as bomber.

Created during the Clone Wars, the Ranger fighter was quickly put into service on the front lines of the conflict around the Ithic Corridor. It quickly proved to be a valuable asset to the ADF. It's survivability coupled with it's firepower gave the ADF the perfect multi-role strike fighter.

One glaring weakness was the ship's vulnerability to Buzz Droids during the Clone Wars. The Buzz Droids tended to target the wings and engine struts which could totally disable the Ranger.
