Description: The P-64 Ferret was a patrol fighter that served throughout the Terran-Kilrathi War. Ferrets were actually part of the first official encounter between Terran and Kilrathi forces in 2629. The TCS Iason had two towed Ferrets that were lost when the Kilrathi destroyed the vessel. Throughout the war, Ferrets served in the role of patrol craft. Joan's Fighting Spacecraft - 2664.128 UPDATE provided stats for the P-64C Ferret. The C model was lacking in a second VDU, missiles or ITTS. It was, however, then the fastest ship in the fleet. Faster models of the F-27 Arrow V, F-97 Wraith, and F-71 Stiletto, as well as others, surpassed the Ferret's speed record in the years before the war ended.

-=='''Description'''==
-The P-64 Ferret was a patrol fighter that served throughout the Terran-Kilrathi War. Ferrets were actually part of the first official encounter between Terran and Kilrathi forces in 2629. The TCS Iason had two towed Ferrets that were lost when the Kilrathi destroyed the vessel. Throughout the war, Ferrets served in the role of patrol craft. Joan's Fighting Spacecraft - 2664.128 UPDATE provided stats for the P-64C Ferret. The C model was lacking in a second VDU, missiles or ITTS. It was, however, then the fastest ship in the fleet. Faster models of the F-27 Arrow V, F-97 Wraith, and F-71 Stiletto, as well as others, surpassed the Ferret's speed record in the years before the war ended.
-In 2667, the P-64D Super Ferret was introduced. Featuring new control systems, and heat-seeking missiles, greatly improved the combat efficiency of the Ferret. This model saw action throughout the last years of the war. Super Ferrets were with the TCS Tarawa when it raided Vukar Tag and Kilrah in 2667. Janice Parker sacrificed her life during the Kilrah Raid when she flew her Ferret into an incoming torpedo, saving the Tarawa. Ferrets also participated in the Earth Defense Campaign the following year. The end of the Terran-Kilrathi War caused the Confederation to downsize their Fleet. Many of the older fighters were sold off to the Free Republic of the Landreich and the Union of Border Worlds where they saw action in border skirmishes and more serious conflicts with the Confederation and Kilrathi.
