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.
