PatrickD's Phoenix Force space fighter: L.S.S. Tachyon

The L.S.S. Tachyon is a space fighter for Phoenix Force. It can dock aboard The Starfire when not on assignment. It was the fourth ship to be designed and built for Phoenix Force and is the fastest ship yet.

Here we see the skilled pilot, Lt. jg J. Terison. He was personally recruited by the squadron commander to fly the L.S.S. Tachyon.

On the right side of Tachyon is a multishield generator. On the left side is a phaser cannon. Both of these raise up into position when they are in use.

The Tachyon is the only Phoenix Force ship with an experimental hexcoil hyperdrive engine (located in the center). Also powered by the hyperdrive engines are twin micro ion thrusters. On the sides of the ship, there are plasma drive impulse engines. The combination of these powerful engines makes the Tachyon the fastest Phoenix Force ship at hyperspace or sub-light speeds.

Here are side and top views of the L.S.S. Tachyon.
