Phalanx Strike Interceptor

Description
Upon contracting Seinar to build the Clawcraft Wild Star soon realized that although superior to nearly every fighter in the galaxy the Clawcraft had one major drawback, its price. Unarguably the most expensive fighter Wild Star has ever produce the Clawcraft, while worth every credit, was simply too expensive at the time. Utilizing Seinar's ability to make superior fighters with a lower cost the Confederacy put together the proposal for the Phalanx. Sharing many of the same features and abilities as its more powerful brother the Phalanx/Clawcraft relationship can be compared to that of the Z-95 Headhunter and the X-wing though the Phalanx does not lag behind as severely as the Z-95 does to its bigger brother.

Equipped with four laser cannons and two warhead launchers the Phalanx makes up for its lack of speed and shielding by adding the two warhead launchers giving it an additional weapon to bring into combat. Even with the Confederate military's use of the Scythe, Valkyrie and Clawcraft the Phalanx is seen as a useful fighter that can be used as an interceptor, multipurpose fighter and escort craft. Regardless of its shortfalls the Phalanx stands in for the Clawcraft wonderfully according to those who have flown it or seen it in combat. Such fighters are rare, even for the Confederacy and its always limit pushing fighters.
