The Kruger P-52 Merlin is a snub fighter originally designed to pair with the RSI Constellation. Boasting a centerline Gatling cannon and a Lightning Power engine, the Merlin is a fast, maneuverable ship that packs a surprising punch! Ideal for racing, local reconnaissance and fast combat.^[1]

Features

Tigerstrike T-19P

A custom variant on Kruger Intergalactic’s Tigerstrike line of rotary cannons, this powerful gun was designed in conjunction with the team working on the P-52 Merlin to ensure that it fit seamlessly with the graceful lines of light fighter’s hull while still rapidly delivering round after round with the dependability that one expects from a Kruger weapon.

RSI Constellation Docking

Both the P-52 and the P-72 are designed to use RSI's Constellation series docking cradle, offering a unique symbiosis between the 2 ships.

Compact Spaceframe

The P-52 is a true snub fighter as its compact size allows it to fit relatively comfortably inside the cargo bays of a ship such as the Freelancer MAX or Constellation Taurus.
