Description: Aptly nicknamed the ‘Flamer’ by Earther pilots who have seen their fusion hybrid engine wakes, the Falkosi is a speedy fighter capable of tying up enemy fighters for the larger Pikatos to bring their much more powerful weapon to bear on them. It retains a fantastic degree of mobility, rapidly closing with any enemy, massing with other flights of combined fighters to survive attacks by capital ships so as to draw fire away from the more lethal heavy fighters or assault shuttles.

Although a lighter craft, the Falkosi is considered to be the veteran fighter jock’s vessel of choice. They are faster, sleeker and have a more comfortable cockpit to keep the pilot cushioned during the massive gravitational forces they accumulate during attack runs. Although lightly armed, they are rarely called upon to make attack runs on capital ships – another attractive feature to being a part of a Falkosi wing.
