Raith's Twin Ion Engine starfighter, inspired by the similar power plant of Revan's Rakatan-designed fighters, had been Raith Sienar's pet project for over a decade now, with the first operative model having been built by Quintad Orbital Manufacturing under license due the seizing of Republic Sienar Systems' assets in retaliation for the ambiguous position of the company (as in, most of the company assets were in the Tion Cluster and it had been a minor miracle Lianna and the main facilities had remained in Republic hands, so the factories controlled by the Separatists had supplied the Confederates-and the Senator from the Torranix Sector, the one where Incom was based, had painted it as war profiteering), and he had licensed a version of the SIE-TIE engine to Kuat Systems Engineering for their Eta-2 and Nimbus starfighters to procure more funding for the development, and as it was finally coming to a design fully powered by the twin ion engine he had presented a couple prototypes to the Imperial Navy for selection of which one to develop in a fully-fledged fleet starfighter. . .
