Raider Arrow Medium Assault Fighters

Arrow History

The Arrow Medium Assault Fighter is an off-shoot of the Delta-V/Double-V line of cheap Raider fighters. It was built off of an enlarged Delta-V frame, but didn't have the weapons fit of the Double-V. Its primary mission was to inflict heavy damage on freigthers' engines and other key systems quickly. For this purpose, it was armed with only one Light Gravitic Beam, salvaged from wrecked Brakiri Pikotos Assault fighters destroyed during the Dilgar War. No other weapons were carried on the base model, though the fighter is easily modified once the main weapon is removed.

Among the variants is a model that trades out the heavy cannon for missile hardpoints and a pair of Light Particle Blasters. It's called the Stiletto and is used mainly by Raider groups that style themselves after old Earth Mercenary groups more than the traditional Pirate role.

(Note: The Stiletto type of fighter was designed by Danesti, who also has designed some advanced weapons systems and ships soon to be hosted on my site).
