Ship details

The Alliance Challenger, presumably coined after the British Challenger Tank; Named, "Kilo-Byte", is designated as the fleet's primary combat vessel. With several hull reinforcements installed into the Military compartments, she is designed to take a lot of punishment.

Providing up to 7 hard-point weapon emplacements, the Challenger is more than up to the task of taking on a variety of enemy combatants. Her Large hard-point along the dorsel offers up good firepower to direct at her targets, along with her multiple medium hard-points to add to the volley.

Kilo-Byte's main role is involved in maintaining security in-system and rarely ventures beyond this role, unless she is being transported to where she is needed most. The main wings house a clever combination of Thrusters and landing gear, which offers up more room for armour plating and military reinforcement solutions to better protect the Hull and it's containment. Plus, she looks mighty impressive when landed upon the surface of either a landing pad or home grown good ol' dirt. Some reflect on her profile as that of a Bird of Prey, resting before taking flight once more. Others have marvelled at her looks; Both sleek, streamlined and solid.

Despite all that metal, Kilo-Bite is fairly maneuverable and can keep up with many different types of combat vessels. Where she may be out-maneuvered, she can still track targets and hit hard when she has them in her sights.

Pilots can rest easy knowing that ships such as the Challenger are on hand to defend the territories of the Alliance, against anything that chooses to be foolish enough to threaten its citizens or welcomed guests.
