San'tok'yai Guide, Specs & Features
What to know
The Aopoa San'tok'yai is a Xi'an medium fighter adapted for Human pilots. Four Size 3 Yeng'tu laser repeaters, eight Size 2 missiles, and dual-vector thrusters give it substantial firepower with unusually free directional control.
San'tok'yai specifications
The airframe and weapons behind the San'tok'yai
The San'tok'yai is built to keep changing how it meets a target. Its articulated Xi'an thrusters can redirect force without waiting for the whole airframe to settle, while four repeaters and a mixed missile load give the pilot enough firepower to fight other medium fighters.
The systems behind the attack
Four Size 3 repeaters and eight Size 2 missiles give the San'tok'yai substantial firepower, while articulated thrusters preserve the unusual directional control that defines the fighter.
Development note: The San'tok'yai is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.22.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
San'tok'yai combat systems
The San'tok'yai balances the guns and missiles, protection, and responsive handling in a fighter built to hit harder than a light fighter.
The cockpit adapts Xi'an controls and seating for a Human pilot while preserving the broad view and distinct layout of the original design.
Dual-vector main thrusters and the articulated Xi'an layout let the pilot redirect force quickly through space and atmosphere.
One pilot controls flight and weapons while monitoring targets and ship condition from the cockpit.
Power and cooling limits decide which systems can run at full strength at the same time.
Weapons and protection on the San'tok'yai
Equipped with advanced Xi'an armaments, it includes four Size 3 Yeng'tu Laser Repeaters produced by Torral Aggregate, along with four Size 3 missile racks, each holding two Size 2 missiles.
Direct fire backed by the San'tok'yai's missile load
The San'tok'yai carries guns and missiles. Use the guns for sustained fire and save missiles for targets that justify them.
The San'tok'yai's pilot keeps the guns on target without losing track of shields, missiles, or another attacker.
The San'tok'yai should not begin another exchange until the pilot has checked damage, shields, and remaining weapons.
Attack from directions Human fighters cannot match
The San'tok'yai combines articulated dual-vector thrusters with four Size 3 laser repeaters and eight Size 2 missiles. Its pilot can redirect thrust quickly and keep changing the direction of an attack.
-
Use the dual-vector main thrusters
The articulated Xi'an layout redirects force without waiting for the whole fighter to turn first.
-
Keep four Yeng'tu repeaters firing together
Four Size 3 laser repeaters give the pilot a consistent direct-fire battery.
-
Add eight Size 2 missiles
Four missile racks provide guided attacks when the repeaters are not yet the best option.
-
Keep the unusual movement predictable
The pilot watches thrust direction, speed, shields, and weapon heat while changing the attack vector.
San'tok'yai's combat equipment in detail
The San'tok'yai combines its guns and missiles with the handling, protection, and targeting systems needed for its combat role.
Accessible component racks support inspection and replacement from inside the fighter.
Inside the San'tok'yai, responsive handling helps the pilot keep the missile load on target through tight turns.
Inside the San'tok'yai, sensors and weapon controls help the pilot identify a suitable target and keep the missile load aimed at it.
The San'tok'yai's defensive systems protect the pilot while keeping the fighter light enough for its intended role.
One pilot controls the articulated fighter
The cockpit adapts Xi'an controls for a Human pilot while keeping flight, targeting, four repeaters, and eight missiles in one seat.
Directional control is the San'tok'yai's real advantage
The weapon package is substantial, but the dual-vector thrusters are what let the fighter present those weapons from unusual directions.
The broad view and distinctive layout remain part of the fighter's character.
Articulated main thrusters let the pilot change direction quickly in space or atmosphere.
All direct and guided weapons remain under the same pilot's control.
