Description: The Guild Cutlass-class is based on the centuries old Cutlass-class fighter built by SoroSuub Corp. Many of these craft have been collected and rebuilt by the Guild and are in use across the galaxy in an interceptor role by privateers and pirates alike.
The Guild Cutlass-class mounts a pair of laser cannons mounted in the nose and a single warhead launcher under the crafts ventral hull. The Guild Cutlass is lighter armed than most interceptors but makes up for this in speed. It houses two advanced ion engines which gives it better sublight speed for engaging enemy attack craft.
A slightly slower hyperdrive is installed to reduce the cost of operation and rebuild. The Guild Cutlass-class often rides into a system via a carrier and deploys upon entry into the system.
