Bogies six o'clock! (Fixed Again!)

To answer a demand, here are some more starship stats for fighters. They are single-pilot combat craft, light enough that they can be economically fitted with powerful eezo cores, making them capable of greater acceleration and sharper maneuvers than the larger vessels. Thanks to those small ships the dynamic of space battlefields has changed immensely. The small fighters can outmaneuver the big mass accelerator cannons and with the use of disrupt torpedos punch holes in the kinetic barriers of dreadnoughts. They are the reason behind the invention of the GARDIAN system. Mostly used on escort and scout missions, they also are a crucial tool in every space battle.
SX3 Alliance Fighter
The SX3 is the third generation space fighter. It’s primary design was based on turain blueprints, but over the time the alliance engineers tailored it more for humans. It has a dual helios thruster module which in case of an emergency gives the fighter a speed advantage. The armor and durability were sacrificed for weight and maneuverability, but thanks to that the fighter handles well in space as in atmosphere. SX3 has four hardpoints under the wings and two fixed mass accelerator cannons. The hardpoints are universal and can be fitted with various types of torpedoes or rockets, the most popular being the disrupt torpedo as it is common that the fighters fly mainly as support for bigger vessels. As most small craft the SX3 has a very limited sensor array adapted mostly for target search purposes, due to its size it lacks the identify option.

Turian Fighter
Turian fighters are of older design than their alliance counterparts. They differ in many ways, first of all they can be staffed with a gunner, which gives the pilot great advantage as he no longer has to concentrate on weapons and shield systems. Secondly the turians have an older engine system with only one thruster so the fighter lacks the maneuver capacity of the human design. The wings of the their fighter have no external hardpoints and are used as landing gear, thus all weapon systems but the mass accelerator cannon are hidden in a weapon bay in the lower middle part of the vessel. The turian made fighter is more resilient then the SX3 and has superior armor, can carry more additional weapons (6 hardpoints) and has better sensors.
