Class: Patrol Fighter
Initially designed as an In-System Security patrol fighter, the Ferret soon acquired an incredible reputation to the point that it began replacing the Epee as the default light fighter of its time. Replaced by the newer Arrow in the point defense role, Ferrets are now being used by reserve and security units. A few specialized Ferrets in active service have been modified with extra fuel tanks, uprated engines, and a jump drive to serve as fast courier ships.
