<ref>https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/56617a8b9657bafb2210d8c3</ref>The '''Imperial Fighter''', also known as the '''GU-97 Fighter''', is the standard [[Empire]] fighter. 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. The Imperial Fighter can be purchased in [[Empire]] systems only, but can be restocked in any system.

Compared to its alternative options, the [[F63 Condor]] and [[Taipan]] the Imperial Fighter sacrfices any decent protection for much more mobility. This translates into a ship that is good for experienced pilots to utilise and take full advantage of. However, the AI will struggle in the fighter as they wont be able to use full use of the mobility and will often take hits, dying very quickly. The ship is therefore ill advised for leaving in the hands of an AI crewmember.


The Imperial Fighter is currently accessible in [[Close Quarters Combat]] and with the release of [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] 2.2 "The Guardians" update, the Imperial Fighter is a [[Ship-Launched_Fighters|Ship-Launched Fighter]] that can be deployed from a [[Fighter_Hangar|Fighter Hangar]] module.
