This ship is an excellent upgrade to the simpler Phoenix ship. Added cloaking and longer range allows it to fire before the phoenix does, adding to the odds for the ship firing before its neutralized. The design is based on the Phoenix, but enhanced in several was. The weapon system was changed so that it could have cloaking nodes installed. Other than that the ship is mostly the same as the lesser advanced Phoenix.

The torpedo used is not as powerful as the one the Phoenix uses, but it can turn netter and is agile. It also has a substantiall longer range. This allows for the torpedo to be fired earlier in a combat situation, giving the ship a better initiative. Definetly a better firing solution than the one the Phoenix is equipped with.

The armor is a crystal/metal, and the ship is equipped with forcefield emitters to counter any hull breeches. The power core is not so efficient as in the bigger ships, and it is limited how much damage the force fields can compensate for. The only shortcoming this ship has is the limited EMP resistance. There was no room for any antiEMP equipment to be installed, making the ship very suspectible for EMP attacks. This is the attribute the Phoenix is better on, although only marginally.

This ship needs a 5 man crew to operate, but it can fit up to 6 people if needed. Recommended crew size is 5 people. A minimum rank of corporal is required to pilot this ship, due to the dangerous torpedoes that can cause severe damage to the ship if docked wrong.
