'''Attack Craft''' are the small, carrier-launched spacecraft that provide far-ranging support for battlefleets in combat. The difficulty of hitting such targets with anti-ship weapons makes them a formidable weapon, but they are held back by their lack of endurance.
== Overview ==
Most attack craft fall into one of three broad categories: Fighters, Bombers, and Assault Boats.
*'''Fighters''' are small, one-man craft that intercept and destroy enemy attack craft and ordnance, but lack the firepower to damage starships.
