Pirate Fighter

History
They were used during the Blockade of Io and the Pirate Clans War. In both conflicts they suffered heavy casualities when confronted with E-frames.

Propulsion/Maneuvering

 * Primary Lift/Thrust: Rotating Navigational Wings

Armament

 * Wing
 * Camouflaged silos housing missiles
 * Forward Pulse Action Laser Gun
 * Nose
 * Laser Cannon

Accessory Equipment

 * Concealed "smuggler" compartment for Jumptroops deployment

Analysis
Although not as fast as an e-frame, these are very quick and maneuverable, able to change speed and direction well. Durability seems questionable, as does weaponry.
