Small numbers of the ''Issus'' were also among the first "gifts" offered to the [[Alliance Military Corps]] during the Snow Raven's move into the [[Outworlds Alliance]].<ref name=TRO3067-162-163/> While lacking the performance of designs of the same weight such as the ''[[Batu]]'' [[OmniFighter]], the ''Issus'' is still reasonably fast and agile, yet much cheaper to produce thanks to its use of a 240-rated [[fusion engine]]. The modern ''Issus'' is clad in five tons of Raven [[ferro-aluminum]] [[Comp B]] armor and mounts 12 [[double heat sink]]s, far too few given the volume of energy weapons the design now carries.<ref name=TRO3067-162-163/> ==Weapons and Equipment== Impressively armed for its weight, the ''Issus'' caries a [[Series 6b]] [[ER large laser]] and [[SEP-Class]] [[ER medium laser]] in each wing supported by the nose-mounted [[Pattern J7]] [[Streak SRM-6]] with one ton of reloads and a [[Series 1b]] [[ER small laser]]. While allowing the craft to operate with minimal logistical support, the large volume of lasers carried by the modern ''Issus'' are somewhat hampered by the fact its heat-dissipation systems haven't been upgraded to match.<ref name=TRO3067-162-163/> ==Variants== A number of variants of the ''Issus'' have been created over the length of its existence, such as swapping [[pulse laser]]s for [[Extended Range Laser|extended range]] models. *; ''Issus'' 2 : A modern variant developed by Clan Snow Raven, the [[Streak]] missile launcher is replaced with a multipurpose [[ATM-9]], and the [[ER large laser]]s are exchanged for a single [[heavy large laser]] with an additional [[ER medium laser]].<ref name=TRO3067-162-163/> BV (1.0)= 1,418<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 62</ref> BV(2.0)=1,722<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 20</ref> *; ''Issus'' 3 : Introduced during the [[Jihad]] this configuration carries an [[ER large laser]] in the nose and an [[ER medium laser]] in each wing.
