Description

The Lightning NS-IV is the successor to the NS-I version which is in use in the armed forces in all the conreces in the Galaxy.

This version is somewhat larger than it's older brother and has more firepower and better protection, not to mention a Hypercomm unit.

It pays the price though, as it is not as maneuverable in atmospheric theatres and because of this and increased cost it has not reached the acclaim of the NS-I which has been constantly updated as the years went by.
