Drazi Sun-Hawk, also
referred to as a War Bird, is the primary warship of the Drazi Military.
This vessel, as well as many other Drazi vessels, has no independent
Jump capability. This lack of Hyperspace technology aboard
Drazi ships is not due to a lack of technological knowledge, but
the fact that the Drazi economy could not support a Hyperspace military
due to their close proximity to the Centauri Republic, who stifled
Drazi growth up until the ISA/Centauri war of 2262.
While their main military
body is not Jump capable, through the use of Jump Gates the Drazi
have been able to use this rugged gun ship to protect their small
empire from invasion on several occasions. Indeed, the Drazi
have been out in space longer than humanity and their technology
is just as advanced, if not slightly more advanced than Earth Alliance
and Narn Regime technology. Now with the Centauri Republic
having pulled back to lick their own wounds, the Drazi Freehold
is rumored to be building larger Jump Capable warships in the hopes
of becoming a major power. None of these new ships have been
seen as of this date.
The Sun-Hawk is renowned
for its versatility and easy maintenance due to its modular fusion
reactor and simple plasma drive engines. The Sun-Hawk has actually
become a commercial export item of the Drazi, as many races like
the Pak'ma'ra' have expressed interest in using them as boarder
patrol ships and transports.
