History

This light fighter has a long proud service record with the many factions that have adopted it. Favored by Confed hotdog 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 recon 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 flying.
