The '''Gu-97''' (aka Imperial Fighter), is a [[Ship-Launched Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]] produced by [[Gutamaya]] for the [[Empire]]. It is noted for its high maneuverability and firepower, but this impressive dogfighting capability comes at the cost of shield and armour strength. It is typically launched as a support craft for [[Majestic Class Interdictor]]s, 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 within Imperial territory. The Gu-97 can be purchased in Imperial systems only, but can be restocked in any system. It is also one of the four vessels permitted in the [[CQC Championship]].

[[~~File:450px~~-~~Empire_fighter~~.~~png|thumb|400px|Blueprint layout of the Empire Fighter]]~~

==Overview==

Compared to the [[F63 Condor]] and [[Taipan]] Ship-Launched Fighters, the Gu-97 sacrifices protection for a dramatic increase in mobility. This results in a spacecraft that novice pilots may have difficulties adequately controlling, but which also rewards experienced pilots who know how to track targets and evade enemy fire.

~~The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' 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~~.

As an SLF, the Gu-97 does not possess a [[Frame Shift Drive]], and thus cannot jump to [[Supercruise]] or [[Hyperspace]]. Its operational area is limited to the vicinity of its deployment point, such as a station, outpost, carrier, or ship-mounted [[Vessel Hangar]].

== ~~Specifications~~ ==

Due to the Gu-97's short length, light weight and high speed, it is prone to spinning out of control when it collides with another object at an angle. When this happens the pilot may lose control of the fighter for an extended period.

{| class="article-table" border="1" ~~cellpadding~~="1" ~~cellspacing~~="1"

== Variants ==

The Gu-97 is available in 5 variants, which differ only in weapons and utility slot. F-variants have fixed weapons and G-variants have gimballed weapons.

*The Gu-97 debuted in the ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' [[CQC Championship|CQC Update]] (1.4) as a fighter restricted to use in the CQC Championship Arena mode.

*With the ''[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]]'' "The Guardians" update (2.2), the Gu-97 was added to the main game mode as a Ship-Launched Fighter alongside the [[F63 Condor]] and [[Taipan]].

*Gutamaya designer Pascal Roux created the Gu-97 as a tribute to the late [[Emperor]] [[Hengist Duval]]. In an interview with the [[Imperial Herald]], Roux said, ''"What I admired most about the Emperor was his balance of elegance and strength, and the fighter represents my attempt to reflect those qualities."''<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/56617a8b9657bafb2210d8c3 GalNet: Gutamaya Shipyards Announces the Imperial Fighter]</ref>

*The Gu-97 is not only the most maneuverable of the three Ship-Launched Fighters, it is the most maneuverable ship in the game.

*During early development, the Gu-97 was named "The Hunter", and concept art showed it with a more angular cockpit canopy. Notably, a screenshot from a development build of the game shows the SLF interdicting a [[Sidewinder Mk I]], implying that, at one point, SLFs may possibly have been intended to equip [[Frame Shift Drive]]s and operate like full-sized ships, capable of at least Supercruise.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-hunter.94798/ Frontier Forums: The Hunter?]</ref>
