Description: Shadow fighters are darting, thistle-shaped craft that almost appear to be more like creatures than spaceships. As relentless and unforgiving as their parent ships, Shadow fighters can rip apart any fighter set against them with their powerful weapon.

Fast and agile, swarms of these fighters launched en masse by a Shadow cruiser have been known to overwhelm even capital vessels. Shadow fighters are usually only considered necessary in larger battles, unleashed by the cruisers to augment their mastery over the battlefield. They are remarkably stealthy and deft, occasionally used as scouts or patrol craft, guarding important systems and space lanes from prying eyes while their masters build their plans of chaos.

The strange polarity cannon making up the nose of the fighter is incredibly powerful, its pulses easily able to punch through the armor of the largest capital ship to leave gaping holes where others can target later. Other fighter craft having to deal with them up close must rely on their own agility to evade these devastating blasts or suffer horribly under their onslaught. It is better to disengage as quickly as possible, leaving the destruction of Shadow fighters to the anti-fighter capabilities of larger capital ships – if any have survived the rest of the Shadow assault. Like all other Shadow vessels, the fighters can phase in and out of hyperspace at will, an enormous advantage for so small a craft to possess. One never knows when they will be vomited forth from a larger craft, or simply appear to wreak havoc upon their foes.
