Description:
The rivalry between Ix and Richese for defense contract continued, with Richese scoring a major victory in its fighter designs the Padishah and Shirkhan. The default fighters for decades, it wasn't until the Ix shipwrights developed a new weapons system and mounted it on a agile and swift interceptor that they managed to win a large portion of the Imperial contract back. The Prism Gatling Laser was a major breakthrough, generating a myriad of scintillating lasgun beams from a single source. While weaker than normal lasguns and lacking coherency forcing a limited range, they realized it would make a perfect weapon for an interceptor. The Scion Light Fighter was built around this weapon, and provided an impressive anti-fighter capability for the Imperial navy.

Design Notes:
The Prism Lasgun was an ill-fated design, and the proposed ship born version with a more coherent beam and more rapid strobe effect was destroyed in a design accident in 9915. Unbeknownst even to Imperial Truthsayers, Bene Tleilaxu Face Dancers had sabotaged the project and brought a completed version to their masters. While the Prism Interceptor still utilizes the Fighter version of the weapon, the ship board weapon to this day remains a secret of the Bene Tleilaxu Order.
