	Heavily shielded and armed with long range weapons, the Xyphos is highly effective in a close support role. Its reliance on targeting and navigation feeds from larger ships mean it's incapable of operating independently.

Notes

A very unique fighter, the Ion beam and burst PD laser of the Xyphos enable it to both protect its carrier from other wings and bombs as well as disable enemy guns and engines if they drop their shields or are at high flux.

However, like with Mining Pods it has 0 engagement range so cannot send these on attack runs like with most fighters, so it's best to consider these as floating turrets that protect the ship it's equipped with.
