'''''Stiletto'''''
'''''Talon'''''


The ''Stiletto'' is the fastest ship in the Confederation fleet. With an afterburner velocity of 1400 kps and excellent maneuverability, it can evade even the swiftest Kilrathi fighters. The ''Stiletto'''s weakness lies in its extremely flimsy armor and relatively light weapons loadout. If you encounter an experienced pilot in a ''Stiletto'', however, you should prepare for grueling combat because his high maneuverability lets him get uncomfortably close.
The ''Talon'' is probably the ship you will encounter most often in Gemini. Flown by numerous different factions, it may appear in slightly different designs but its weapon loadouts and dynamics remain the same. You should take extreme care to keep the ''Talon'' away from your rear, since it is equipped with numerous HS missiles. If you are an accomplished pilot, you should be able to take out a ''Talon'' with relative ease, especially if you are flying a ''Stiletto'' or a ''Centurion'', since its armor is extremely weak. Try to avoid its particle cannon, since a hit can inflict sizable damage.

Talon

The Talon is probably the ship you will encounter most often in Gemini. Flown by numerous different factions, it may appear in slightly different designs but its weapon loadouts and dynamics remain the same. You should take extreme care to keep the Talon away from your rear, since it is equipped with numerous HS missiles. If you are an accomplished pilot, you should be able to take out a Talon with relative ease, especially if you are flying a Stiletto or a Centurion, since its armor is extremely weak. Try to avoid its particle cannon, since a hit can inflict sizable damage.

Appearances

Behind the Screens

The Stiletto was designed for Wing Commander Privateer but it was first seen in Origin FX.

The Stiletto was originally to be named Dagger.

A unique piece of debris was created for the Stiletto but it was not included in the final release of Wing Commander Privateer.

HCl has created Stiletto Patch, a fan patch that allows players to fly the Stiletto in Privateer.
