Fighter Class (Spaceship)

A Fighter Class spaceship is a small ship with enough room for one or two people (a pilot and a copilot or weapons tech). Fighter Class ships have limited range, usually capable of travel within a single solar system. They tend to stress offensive capabilities, like weapons and maneuverability, and deemphasize defensive ones, like shielding.

They are generally kept in larger ships so that they may be deployed as needed.
