{{quote|In September, Gutamaya Shipyards released a new version of the enduringly popular Eagle. This month, the company has announced the launch of a new fighter designed specifically for the CQC Championship – the Imperial Fighter. Gutamaya has said that the small, manoeuvrable vessel will be ideally suited to close-quarters dogfights, and more than capable of going toe-to-toe with other CQC fighters.|Galnet News, 06 DEC 3301<ref name=":0">https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/56617a8b9657bafb2210d8c3</ref>}}<br />
<br />
The '''Imperial Fighter''', also known as the '''Gu-97 Fighter''', is the standard [[Empire]] small-class single man [[ships|ship]]. It is as noted for its high manoeuvrability and firepower as it is for its low shielding and range. It is typically launched as support craft for an imperial cruiser, and is useless on its own if outflanked or outnumbered. It is most commonly seen in conflict zones which include an imperial faction, or patrolling space stations in imperial territory.<br />
<br />
The Imperial Fighter is currently accessible in [[Close Quarters Combat]], and will added as a Ship-Launched Fighter alongside the [[F63 Condor]] and [[Taipan Fighter]] in the [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] 2.2 update.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
Like the [[F63 Condor]] and [[Taipan Fighter|Taipan]], the Imperial Fighter is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility slot.<br />
