Description: The primary offensive fighter of Brakiri attack fleets, the Pikatos is a bigger version of the Falkosi packing a much bigger weapons array and thicker armor. Nowhere near as fast or as agile, the heavy fighter relies on the smaller interceptors to keep them safe from dogfighters until they can be put into a good attacking position. A full wing of Pikatos, can tear a long line of destruction in even the thickest of capital ships’ hulls.

Using a frightening combination of light gravitic bolts and beams, the Pikatos fear very little from smaller targets. When they receive their lock on tones they can unleash streams of gravitons at the press of a button. The Brakiri have never been known for their subtlety in weapons design, knowing that if it has come to the point of such hostilities – no amount of force is too great. The Pikatos may not be fast or elegant, but pack a mighty punch that many would find surprising from a fighter.
