Lexi is maddenly vuage on how many crew it has (possibly a pilot and rear gun servitor) and what weapons it carries. I know that it was replaced at or near the end of the heresy for a better design but what can I say, my chapter is nostalgic in keeping them around. Basicly I'm looking for a one or at the most a two man starfighter interceptor found serving on Astartes vessels. please help me fluff masters.

Lexicanum is vague on its specs because so was the source material it was mentioned in. They're not 40k wiki, they don't make stuff up to fill in the blanks.

So I would hav a little room to play with in describing themwif I choose to use them in my fluff?

Absolutely. You would even have this room if Lexicanum was not being vague. Contrary to popular opinion, there is no "canon" in 40k, just lots of different interpretations - which explains why one book may say this and another that.

"It all stems from the assumption that there’s a binding contract between author and reader to adhere to some nonexistent subjective construct or ‘true’ representation of the setting. There is no such contract, and no such objective truth."

Sometimes they do, but that has to do with how the IP is managed by GW and the resulting lack of consistency..

Thanks Lysanta, that's a weight off my mind. Expect one theplan fluff wrath pattern starfighter in my next chapter.

There is canon in 40K.

Really i thought Lexi was infamous for filling the blanks in, Its fan run after all. Its not official for a reason, the people who write the entries elaborate.
