Vanduul Stinger

flight-ready Combat Heavy Fighter Size 3 since Alpha 4.3.2

Wreaking havoc along Humanity's border systems, this Vanduul heavy fighter, designated 'Stinger' by the UEE Navy, has earned itself a blood-stained legacy as a major threat to pilots and capital ships alike. Originally intended for training aggressor squadrons, Esperia is now making their detailed replica available to the broader civilian population.
