BARD PAPER: SARA0067

Scorpion Light Fighter

The F14 Scorpion class of light fighter was at one time the most numerous light fighter used by the Solomani Confederation. It was still in service in large numbers with second line Solomani forces up to the final collapse, and was used both as a subordinate craft on some larger starhips, and as a planetary based fighter. The -C variant was the most numerous type, the earlier -A and -B variants having been upgraded to the -C model. The earleri versions mostly differed in the weaponry fitted.
