The Guardian trades some of its engine capacity for heavier armor and weapons, allowing it to serve as a point-defense fighter. The name comes from their role in protecting capital ships: CAGs keep a steady rotation of Guardians in space, using their Sonar to locate invisible enemy fighters. The deployment of early model Guardians countered the testing of Kilrathi Skipper missiles, delaying production of the weapon by fifteen years. | The Guardian trades some of its engine capacity for heavier armor and weapons, allowing it to serve as a point-defense fighter.

Scout
The Scout is the standard Arrow V spaceframe, relatively unchanged over the last half century. Its light armament makes it unsuitable for pounding matches, but its record setting speed and maneuverability are ideal for hit-and-run strikes. Arrow Scouts are also a common sight at orbital racing competitions.
Eclipse
The Eclipse, or Cloak Arrow, takes advantage of captured Kilrathi technology: a full spectrum cloaking device and a hardpoint of Vampire missiles. Expert Eclipse pilots combine the cloak with the signature Arrow speed to seemingly appear in two places at once. Owing to the design’s origins as a Confederation black ops ship, Eclipses are the rarest Arrow variant.
Guardian
The Guardian trades some of its engine capacity for heavier armor and weapons, allowing it to serve as a point-defense fighter. The name comes from their role in protecting capital ships: CAGs keep a steady rotation of Guardians in space, using their Sonar to locate invisible enemy fighters. The deployment of early model Guardians countered the testing of Kilrathi Skipper missiles, delaying production of the weapon by fifteen years.
