Centurion

The Centurion ship class is the first fighter class ship you get access to. The basic variant has one small weapons port, trading armor for maneuverability and top speed. There are several variants, most notably Itani's and Orion's, which both have two small weapon ports, comparable to the Vulture.

Game's Description

The Centurion series of light fighter-interceptors, originally based on an Itani design, was derived from ships long used for flight training and aerobatics by the Order of Itan. Now widely copied, variants of this basic configuration can be found in almost every corner of populated space. The distinguishing factors of the Centurion series are high speed and good maneuverability, but a relatively limited number of weapons configuration ports, due to its original design as a peacetime trainer. Some adaptations, most notably the Border Guardian developed for the Itani military and the 'Rev C' version made by Orion Heavy Manufacturing (found in UIT and grey space) have proven very effective in modern combat usage.
