The '''F-27 Arrow V''' is a light fighter that has seen a long and distinguished service with the [[Terran Confederation]]. It served for a substantial portion of the [[Terran-Kilrathi War]].  
=== [[Victory Streak]] ===
: <BIG>'''''ARROW'''''</BIG>
: This light, versatile fighter has balanced weaponry and is best-suited for short-range combat against light or heavy fighters. Its maneuverability makes it a prime choice for escort, fleet defense and reconnaissance missions, and an emergency life-support system can sustain pilots for up to 7 hours.


== History ==
=== [[Wing Commander III]] ===
This light fighter has a long, proud service record with the many factions that have adopted it. Favored by Confed 'hot-dog' pilots, Border World scouts and Pirate raiders, the Arrow is a well-suited fighter for hit-and-run attacks. Lightly armed but possessing a high acceleration and velocity, this fighter is usually assigned to escort, fleet defense and reconnaissance missions. The life support system can sustain a pilot for up to seven hours.

The Arrow V also served as the basis for several variants that continued to see action long after the original design. The Scout has unprecedented speed and maneuverability, making it popular for not only hit and run strikes, but even racing competitions among private owners. The Guardian uses Sonar to detect cloaked targets, making a name for itself against Kilrathi skipper missiles. Finally, the Arrow Eclipse carries a Kilrathi cloaking device, and started out life as a design for the infamous Black Lance, making it the rarest Arrow V variant still presently in use.
