The '''F-97 Wraith''' was a medium fighter fielded by the [[Terran Confederation]] in the [[Terran-Kilrathi War]].
The '''Wraith''' was a medium [[fighter]] was developed by Terran Tech Laboratories in New York in the late 2660s. The fighter produced was fast, agile and most importantly heavily armed with guns and missiles. The Terran Confederation Space Naval Academy's CyberSchool's holographic simulator began qualifying pilots on Wraith prototypes in [[2667]]. The larger production variant of the Wraith entered service by early [[2669]]. The ''[[Lexington-class heavy carrier|TCS Lexington]]'' received a Wraith squadron in response to the Empire of Kilrah's deployment of [[Shok'lar]]-class stealth fighters to the [[Jakal System]]. The Wraith briefly held a record for being the fastest ship in known space. By 2669, the title had been passed to an [[F-27 Arrow V]] variant. Two important weapons systems were originally developed for the Wraith: the [[Reaper Cannon]] and the [[Leech (L)|Leech Missile]]. A pair of Wraiths found their way into the hands of a pirate group in the [[Evian System]] in 2669.


The Wraith was designed and developed by Terran Tech Laboratories in New York during the later years of the war against the [[Kilrathi]]. Designed as a medium fighter, it was developed with a standard payload built on a chassis that fulfilled its intended purpose as an all-purpose starfighter capable of holding its own in a dogfight.

The most remarkable innovation of the Wraith was its speed. At the time of its introduction in the 2660s, it was reputedly the fastest starfighter in galactic history. It was also designed alongside the Leech Missile and the Reaper Cannon, both of which were designed specifically for usage by the Wraith during development.

One notable Wraith squadron was that stationed on the ''[[TCS Lexington (Lexington-Class Carrier)|TCS Lexington]]'', a carrier sent to destroy [[Kilrah (planet)|Kilrah]] in [[2669]]. They proved a worthy opponent against the [[Kilrathi]] [[Shok'lar]]s, but disappeared with the ''Lexington'' during the mission and were never heard from again.
