A small, light fighter with an emphasis on weaponry, the Hawk boasts an impressive arsenal of lethal and non-lethal weapons, making it a perfect ship for independent bounty hunters or local security looking for a little more punch. The Hawk is a light fighter developed by Anvil Aerospace for the United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN). Initially developed as a dogfighter and ground attack vehicle in 2937, it saw only limited operations while in UEEN service. In response to this, Anvil developed a civilian model aimed at the bounty hunter market in 2940. The new model added a selection of EMP weaponry and a containment pod capable of carrying a passenger or prisoner.
