This pearl was in the description in the new book.

The design has been such a success for MandalMotors that the Fang is produced at several factories. Each of these plants is run by a different Mandalorian clan. and while they are not aggressive toward each other, the clans are rivals. Managers had their in-house design teams tweak the Fang's capabilities to try and one-up their peers. When this was uncovered, the board of directors ordered an end to the competition and standardized the Fang fighter's performance profile.

That's actually funny.

So they now have a "standard" Fang fighter now? With stats and all?

No it says later in the story bullet point ideas that there are many variants of the standard in order to keep the pc’s on their toes.

Which is funny.

I’m impressed with this book they did a really good job, added some missing ships, story ideas and there are illustrations for everything (the only decent illustration of the marauder in existence).

Sadly they don't have the airspeeders from SoT/LbE that DON'T EXIST ANYWHERE ELSE, so I still have no clue what they actually look like.

Lead by Example, the most forgettable of the AoR career books.

SoT is Stay on Target, you are correct.

I think there still enough missing or unstated canon ships and vehicles to do a second one of these ship books.

Especially if they dip into the Clone Wars. We're still missing a bunch from that era.

You hear that FFG? TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Most of the artwork is reused from previous products. If something didn't already have an image, chances are it didn't show up here. I imagine that having a pre-existing image was big on their inclusion criteria.
