The Tiger Shark is a unique vessel with its foundations in the bygone days of [[Rheinland]]'s commercial might, designed as it was to serve the desires of the young, the rich and the reckless as a sporty racing vehicle. Those Sharks seeing modern production are engaged in more militaristic ventures, from escorting [[Republican Shipping|Republic]] convoys to serving as enforcement vehicles for off duty members of the [[Rheinland Military]] or [[Rheinland Federal Police|Police]] looking to bring in bounty money by hunting down pirates and dissidents. While considered expensive to some, the Tiger Shark is a solid workhorse vessel capable of delivering plenty of punch to folks wishing to ruin a good day. | The Tiger Shark is a unique vessel with its foundations in the bygone days of [[Rheinland]]'s commercial might, designed as it was to serve the desires of the young, the rich and the reckless as a sporty racing vehicle.

The Tiger Shark, this little vessel's name makes it sound like it should be part of the Bounty Hunter fleet. Though, Rheinland seems to have had time and money to make a working civilian light fighter worth it's price. Agile, good profile, and modest power core. These things sum up a good light fighter, as well as the imprint it leaves in enemies. How often do pirates, or anyone for that matter, see a light fighter flying around Sirius? Especially in the Border Worlds like Omicron-Delta. It can survive fighting with Nomads out there, with ease if you can handle flying something so sleek and fast. The most successful layout for this ship has to be the strangest one I've seen. A pilot by the name of Turkish put in two class 8 debilitators, and two class 9 missile launchers. Using a hit and run tactic, wearing down the shields on an enemy Corsair player, he managed to put enough missiles into that Corsair fighter and eventually make it pop all over the Freeport.
