The current version of the versatile Arrow light fighter is a sleek, dangerous machine, definitely a pure dogfighter.  Sporting superbly balanced weaponry for its small size, the F-27’s speed, maneuverability and low silhouette make the hard to hit craft a prime candidate for escort, fleet defense and reconnaissance missions.  The fighter’s range and endurance also make it a competent choice for long patrols and sustained dogfights.  A true pilot’s fighter, the Arrow, despite its light fighter armor and weaponry, is often preferred by many Confederation aces over the heavier Hellcat V.
