The Ares Star Fighter Ion is an anti-capital fighter manufactured by Crusader Industries. Designed to lead the charge against capital ships and heavily armed flotillas, the Ares ION excels at spearheading a fleet of fighters and support ships. Its purpose-built Behring SF7E laser cannon accurately delivers high-powered shots to quickly disable the shields of gunships and, with the support of other Ares variants, efficiently incapacitate capital-class vessels.[1]

Features

Laser Cannon
The bespoke SF7E Laser Cannon is designed for the long-range targeting of large and capital-class spacecraft. Its accurate laser projectiles deliver significant impact, effectively neutralizing the shields of adversarial vessels and rendering them susceptible to direct assaults from allied forces.[1]
Missiles
The Ares is equipped with three racks, capable of accommodating a total of twenty Size 3 missiles.[1]
Equipment Storage
The Ares is equipped with an 860K μSCU storage unit and specialized gun racks, both of which are accessible from the exterior at the rear.[1]
