	Designed by Whitestone Enterprises, the Spectre combines four hundred years of piloting and design know-how to create the single most advanced fighter ever fielded, by anyone. Her soliton and gravimetric drives make her uniquely manueverable, while her holographic system and other defenses make her extremely survivable. Unlike many fighters, Spectres are also renouned for their ease of maintenance!

Clearly visible here is one of the most unique aspects of the Spectre, her lower gatling microtorpedo launcher. Capable of a sustained rate of fire of 18 microtorpedoes per second, the Spectre can unload her full ordnance in less than six seconds and makes the assault fighter a credible threat to unescorted capital ships. She is also equipped with impressive holographic defenses and is one of the most maneuverable ships in known space!

The Spectre class fighter is, pound-for-pound, the most deadly weapon ever devised. Half the mass of most assault fighters, the Spectre is nevertheless armed with four pulse phaser cannons, a gatling micro-torpedo launcher, and a pair of standard phaser strips. Imaginative and daring pilots can use her soliton-wave based drive as a mass projection weapon. She can also be armed with a variety of weapons on her three external hardpoints. The quantum micro-torpedo gatling cannon, in particular, was specifically designed for the Spectre!

Spectres are already being deployed by the Starfleet Marine Corps and Starfleet Secret Service, and are being considered for the Military and Intelligence branches of the 'fleet. With the number of races and empires using single-lifeform attack ships increasing almost yearly, the Federation cannot afford not to deploy the most advanced fighters possible in defense of our territories... our interests... our freedom and way of life. The Spectre is that fighter.

	TEST PILOT NOTES:
	J. Brice:	Watch out for the gravimetric drive, the so-called "sidestep" drive. Yes, it allows you to dodge phasers. But yes, it will throw you around that cockpit if you're not tightly strapped in. Stresses the inertial dampers to 5 or 6 Gs. Makes me wonder if taking the phaser fire might not be less damaging to the ship and pilots...
	A. Smythe:	A close look at the computer should make your eyebrows go up -- more than twice as fast as a Type 2 starship computer core, and one-fifth the storage -- for a ship 1/23rd the size: where is all that power going? The answer is the holographic defense system, which allows projection of decoy targets, or anything else that can be programmed into the system, up to 25,000 km away from the fighter...
	1Lt. A. Norton: (SF Marines)	Using both the impulse and gravimetric drives, it is possible to push this fighter past the relativistic limit and cross the so-called "hyperspace" barrier. I don't recommend it -- sure, you surpass the speed of light, but what seems like a 5 minute trip to you is actually 3 hours to the rest of the universe...
	B. McAfrey:	When using the micro-quantum gatling, fire in short, controlled bursts rather than hosing down the target. The controlled bursts not only save your ammo, but actually drop your target's shields faster as they have to compensate in multiple areas instead of just one...
