Strengths:

Weaknesses:

• The Tetrica, being an assault fighter, significantly lacks in maneuverability.

Description: A stopgap design originally created for the Fringe, the Tetrica's production lines were at one point illegally co-opted by the faction in question, where they were a relatively common sight. Tetricas almost entirely disappeared for twenty years, with the design seeing minimal use by the planetary defense fleets of a number of populated worlds in what had been former Fringe space in the Unknown Regions. Given the now-exclusivity of the Eightgun to the Sith Empire, an assault fighter was needed for offer to other factions, and the Tetrica has filled the void surprisingly well. While obviously lacking in firepower compared to its Sith counterpart, the Tetrica is a tad more durable - if still unmaneuverable and even more bulky. It does possess more missiles, but the removal of two HL-7s decreases its long-term viability in a battle.
