|
Notes: Although the Arrow design is older than even the Epee, the "D" model is brand new, having just entered production. The new Arrow is a pure patrol craft - amazingly fast, but unmanoeuvrable and poorly armed.
|

|

Designation: Light Attack fighter
Max Y/P/R: 100/100/100 deg/s

|
Notes: A truly superb fighter, the Wraith is widely criticised as another Confed attempt to produce a supership regardless of the costs. While limited production for Spec Ops needs is being debated, full-scale production now seems all but impossible.
