Gu-97
The Imperial Fighter is the standard Empire small-class single man 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.
The Imperial Fighter will be flyable in the Close Quarters Combat gamemode some time in December[1]. Whether this ship will be the same version current employed solely by the Imperial Navy remains to be seen. Galnet reports also suggest that a version of this ship will go on general sale in early 3302[1].
