90-ARKM-N45 "Wraith" Rheinland Very Heavy Fighter
From Discovery Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchTemplate:Ship Infobox 2 Determined to keep ahead in the arms race between lawfuls and unlawfuls, Rheinland was forced to upgrade its already potent ships. As with the Phantom, the Wraith utilizes several new technologies into the base frame. Improved engines and power-plant, along with lighter and stronger armor make the Wraith surprisingly agile. It's no light fighter, but a skilled pilot can keep it out of enemy fire enough to ensure victory.
This vessel is highly restricted, much like its lighter brother. Only elite Military Police units are allowed this expensive craft, along with authorized military personnel.

Review
With enough agility to run from a mass of Guardians or Avengers ( Or five Liberty Gunboats ) and the armor to take plenty of hits, the Wraith comes off as an incredibly powerful ship, which is exactly what it is. However, it DOES have some drawbacks. For one, it only has 5 forward firing guns. Where as almost every other Very Heavy Fighter has 6 or sometimes 7, including its main opponent, the Guardian. Stats wise, the Wraith has the edge, with higher armor and agility, a bigger powercore, smaller overall profile, and a bit quicker acceleration. However it does have a smaller cargo hold, one less nano bot and shield battery, and one less forward firing gun. It has a very small spread for its guns, with it's biggest problem being its rather large wings which hold onto 2 class 10 gun slots. This ship fits VERY well with a Debilitator and Hornvipers, or a Debilitator and Firekisses, both guns which are standard issue for Rheinland. Power drain is rather light, considering only 5 guns fire forward, and it has a decent power core. In group fights, the Wraith is a real terror. It can easily dodge incoming fire, and can just as easily dish out serious pain. Against Odins, the Wraith has the edge as well. It has slightly better armor, the same core, and its smaller profile and agility coupled with its speed make quick work of any nasty Hessian patrol you may come across with this beast of a Fighter.
