Other sitesThe Meteor is a medium fighter variant of the Mantis series of ships, developed by Roberts Space Industries. Equipped with formidable weaponry, the Meteor presents a daunting challenge for adversaries. Drawing influence from the legendary Mantis, this medium fighter opts out of quantum enforcement, incorporating instead two custom S5 ballistic cannons and four single-load S4 missile racks, thereby establishing the Meteor as a powerful entity capable of illuminating the sky akin to a shooting star.[1][2]
Features
Weapons
Two bespoke gimbal-mounted Size 5 cannons and four standard Size 3 weapon hardpoints and two fixed Size 3 missile racks mounting a total of 4 size 2 missiles, second to a generous four Size 4 ordinance hardpoints arranged in the ventral bay.[1]
Habitation
The vessel offers an unexpectedly high level of comfort for the pilot, featuring a sleeping area, bathroom and a kitchenette.[2]
Storage
The Meteor is equipped with individual storage compartments, a suit locker, as well as racks designated for firearms and tools.[2]
Components
Although it is a compact vessel, all components are accessible from within, facilitating maintenance and replacement.[2]

Classification and Role
While the Meteor is classified as a medium fighter, it differs from its other medium contemporaries by possessing traits normally found in several different classifications: The Meteor has the armament and interior normally found in a heavy fighter, the flight performance of a medium interceptor, and the hull strength and shielding of a light fighter.[3]
In comparison to other medium fighters, the Meteor excels in straight-line performance and lacks in maneuverability and staying power, optimised for the task of achieving victory in the first strike.[2][3]
