The '''Ares Inferno''' is a purpose-built anti-capital fighter with an integrated size 7 ballistic gatling by [[Behring]]. Capable of devastating sustained fire, the '''Inferno''' overwhelms enemies with unrelenting fire, taking down smaller ships and quickly shredding the hull of large vessels. Though capable alone, this ship is a potent ally to the [[Ares Ion]] in capital ship hunting; pairing its armor-piercing rounds with the ION's shield-disabling shots.

<blockquote>We need protection for the haulers making million-mile treks through treacherous systems, security for the families in homesteads operating on the fringes, extreme firepower for those willing to challenge criminality head-on. We need a ship with the ability to take inter-system travel in its stride and scramble wherever it’s called for and with the firepower to reduce anything to scrap. We need a next-generation Star Fighter.</blockquote>

The Ares Star Fighter Inferno, produced by Crusader Industries, is an anti-capital fighter equipped with a Behring manufactured Size 7 ballistic gatling. Its sustained fire capability is devastating, overpowering adversaries with a relentless barrage that can take down smaller vessels and rapidly shred the hulls of larger ones. While formidable on its own, the Inferno is an effective complement to the Ares Ion in capital ship engagements, as its armor-piercing rounds can be paired with the Ion's shield-disabling shots. This combination enhances the Inferno's effectiveness in hunting down capital ships.[1]
