The Porax-38 had interstellar range and was fitted with highly effective, long-distance sensor systems that provided early warning of enemy activity. These large P-38 fighters were also capable of independent hyperspace jumps, which enabled them to defend Utapau far into the Tarabba sector. Versatile thrusters, dual-reactor systems, and high-capacity deflector shielding made them a valuable asset to the Loyalist forces.The interstellar range of these vessels also allowed them to take more punishment and they could endure longer, more arduous missions than tiny, fleet-based fighters like the Confederacy's Vulture droid fighters and droid tri-fighters and the Republic's V-wings and Eta-2s.The Porax-38 was manufactured by Buuper Torsckil Abbey Devices and only required one pilot, who had to wear a protective breathing mask. It had enough consumables for 20 days of air, fuel, and food. Its primary armament was two laser cannons. The fighter's tiny cockpit could only seat one short, stocky Utai, not the tall Pau'ans. Some Porax-38s had the cockpit modified for an IG-100 MagnaGuard. [ huge shout out and thanks to @timeisimaginary as he actually managed to get this thing to fly straight ]

    Alright. I can wait and I would love it if you could when I upload my plane review it. I can rate ur planes in return but it would be really cool to see a formal review of my plane each time I upload. I don't upload that often so it shouldn't be that much of a hassle but it's just an idea. If you do do it. THANK YOU SO MUCH. it would be awesome and now I'm just rambling@ZFM99

    @Zing2000 i have found that starting on the USS tiny is easy, because when it reaches over 200? mph you tip the Ship back and it lifts off with ease.

    Very nice, my only question is what are the two orange circles at the bottom of the cockpit view?

    This is pretty cool, I had to start at the south airfield to have enough room to get enough speed to level out. But once I did it was smooth. The cockpit view is crazy, like looking through alien eyes or something... lol.
