The Firespray MKII Firestrike retrofit was a massive uparmament and armoring of the standard Firespray patrol craft and was specifically designed for the Mandalorian protectors during the galactic civil war. In addition to the already considerable armament of the Firespray, the Firestrike featured a large, capital-grade ion cannon turret at the top of the craft that was slaved directly to the main reactor. This cannon was powerful enough to ionize much larger targets with a few well-placed shots and could be overcharged from its reactor link to cause considerably more damage to targets unfortunate enough to come under fire. A pair of dual, heavy flechette cannons amidships were capable of a spread fire mode that allowed the weapons to unleash massive salvos at close range to devastating effect against starfighters. A much improved scanning and targeting array aided in the aiming of the Firestrikes many weapon systems and heavy armor plating was added to protect the ships double-redundant shield generators. These upgrades to the craft allowed a single Firestrike to be deployed in several roles that were more traditionally assigned to much larger ships, and gave the Protectors a valuable weapon to protect Mandalore from any and all outside aggression.
