Technical and Historical Notes: The third fighter launched during the final assault on the Imperial Capital in 2245. The Endymion 3 was built to be easier to pilot, but at the same time pack a decent enough punch against the enemy. Although it is only able to carry one McMillan gunpod at a time, it posesses a dual beam machine cannon between its swing antigraviation units to make up for this fault. The Endymion 3 was refitted and put into full production by Asano Industries.
