[LF] Actis II Fighter
This last of the Jedi Starfighters (lore below) spawns in at level 12 core 4, for RE / VN and will see a good amount of upgrade potential as it levels with you. The Actis II can fulfill a number of roles, and is best suited as a late game support interceptor.
Hello kindred Empyrion spirits!
Let me start with a request; please respect blueprint authors. Often it takes months to finesse a build, and to have it ripped and reuploaded without permission or even so much as credit, can be discouraging, often pushing such authors away from the community.
I personally don’t mind critical feedback, and constructive criticism, as it will serve me to better my builds. However, If you enjoy my content, and there is much more to come, respect my (and others) authorship of these massive timesinks. Thank You.

As a mid range SV spawns in with fridge, oxygen dispensor, armor locker, wifi, and detector.
Can see a number of upgrades including additional thrusters, weapon mounts, turrets, constructor, shield and/or jump drive, as well as a number of other devices.
The Actis II comes stock with a pair of gatling guns, as well as a pair of guided rockets. It can mount up to 4-6 addition weapons, as well as up to 4 turrets.
Interceptor cofiguration– The recommended setup is to use a pair of railguns for the central mounts, and a pair of gammas on the outside mounts, and dedicate the device compartment to a progenitor shield and the necessary CPU/gens needed to feed it. This will give the Actis 2 end game potential as a considerable support fighter.
Players can opt to overload the frame with guns and turrets, but be mindful this will take a big hit on strafe and lift, as the bulk of the thruster upgrades are designed for forward and reverse.
The build frame exterior features a scattering of steel and carbon, with the bulk of the steel being located at the nose. The central device compartment is surrounded by hardened steel to protect key devices from chain reactions, but will not last against dedicated heavy fire.
2.06k Ammunition (expandable)
1.85k Harvest (expandable)
The Interceptor was intended to make use of Gamma’s light weight ammo, and spend the bulk of the ammo weight on rail gun rounds. Using the Harvest as a backup ammo storage, rounds can be fed into the ammo box as they get depleted.
The device compartment is accessed by the shutter doors on the back top, by the player dropping into it as the drone cannot fit. Alternatively, it is easier for the player to simply remove the cockpit to access the full lay of devices, and rearrange/add as they see fit. To expand the ammo + harvest, remove the yellow colored RCS, and the H and A symbols are Harvest and Ammo links respectively.
Once concluded with additions/rearrangement, readd Cockpit 2.
The mapping for the primary color placement is located at the second to top left slot spot on the color palette. Simply copy and paste one of the other colors into that slot to change the color.
The Actis 2 was originally intended to be the successor to the Eta-2 Actis Interceptor. Upon recommendations from the Jedi Council, it was given a larger frame to house more weapons and shield capacity at the expense of agility. The Council was interested in generating another fighter option that would be more forgiving to Padawans not yet proficient in utilizing the Force as its defense. Others notable Councillors such as Mace Windu supported the recommendations, as they saw it as a more robust weapons platform which they felt could offset the loss of agility with their proficiency in the Force.
Chancellor Palpatine all too keen on not alerting the Jedi, allowed production of the Actis II to go through. Ultimately these would never fall into the possession of the Jedi, as the events of Order 66 preceded delivery of the interceptor, presumably at the hands of bureaucratic backroading from Palpatine to delay the deliveries.
Only a handful would ever be produced, with the production run eventually falling into the hands of the Rebel Alliance. It is of note that the Actis II marked to be transferred to Mace Windu went missing from the database registry..
