Triark Industries is proud to announce production of its newest one-man fighter
has begun. We are taking pre-orders now.
Pictures = Post-Mod Link
JK-259 Jackknife
4 Medium T-47 Lasers
8 Scrambler Missiles
Triark Sensor Suite
12 Maneuvering thrusters
The JK-259 Jackknife is a one-man defensive fighter, designed to escort larger
ships through open space. Its super-dense armored hull will deflect almost any
figher-based weapon, and its 12 maneuvering thrusters give it a high degree of
agility.
In battle, the Jackknife uses our proprietary Triark sensor technology to fly
with its armor closed. The electromagnetic and thermal sensor data is fed
directly into the pilots visor, projecting enemy ship detail as a real-time,
moving, heads-up display.
Our engineers have been able to decrease the Jackknifes opening and weapon
start up sequence to only one second, giving the pilot almost instant access to
his offensive weapons. If a threat arises, the Jackknife can snap shut in under
a second, protecting the pilot inside. Missile lock can be obtained in the
closed armor position, but safteys will prevent premature launch. Regular
maintenance is highly recommended.
While on guard, the Jackknife can magnetize its hull, allowing it to attach
itself to the ship it is defending to save fuel. Because of size constraints
and its heavy mass, fuel is limited to about one hours worth. Heavy
maneuvering can decrease this to only one half-hour. The Jackknife should be
refueled after every battle.
The Jackknife can be outfitted to be a ramming tug for offensive or industrial
purposes.
The Jackknife has a one year/two hundred thousand mile limited warranty, and
comes with everything seen here. Order now and recieve a free instructional
video.
Thank you for your interest in Triark Industries. Purchase orders can be made
through our website.
This is my first space ship. I built it mainly because of the space-themed
TEXLUG meeting in October, but Ive had the idea for this ship for a while.
Inspiration comes from a pair of switch-blade pocket pliers that I have, Id
post a picture but honestly I have no clue where my pliers have walked off to.
Anyway, PLMKWYT! Though since this IS my first spaceship, be gentle, hmm?
