Axiom

The Axiom-class light fighter represents the Solarian approach to combat: measured, methodical, and equipped with three independent targeting verification systems. Not the fastest or hardest-hitting ship in its class, but pilots report an unusually low rate of "unexpected outcomes." A 130-unit fuel reserve gives it the longest operational range of any T1 fighter, and the balanced power distribution leaves enough headroom for two utility modules without compromising the weapons package. The generous cargo bay is officially designated for "mission-critical scientific samples," though field reports suggest more creative interpretations.
