Description: The current mainstay of the Centauri fighter program, the Sentri was designed along the recognizable crescent wing the Republic’s craft are well known for and carries a pair of particle guns. While they lack the firepower of their long-time rival, the Narn Regime’s, Frazi fighters, they often get the better of combat engagements due to superior maneuverability, accuracy and dogfight controls. Partially designed to deal with the bigger and slower craft of the Narn, the Sentri cancels out most of what makes the Narn fighters normally so imposing.

They remain somewhat behind the capabilities of other races’ fighters, but are considered truly as support and auxiliary in the purest sense of the word. Like Earth and the Minbari, the Centauri prefer to rely on the crushing power of their main warships to cripple their foes – not swarms of easily destroyed fighters. As such, officer duty within Sentri wings has comparatively little prestige attached to it. It is still an officer’s role, just not the most coveted one.
