- Taken from Colonial Warships and Craft The Fighter is the main strike ability of many ships in many modern combat fleets. It could be equipped for a variety of missions, including anti-fighter, anti-ship, or anti-ground. The Fighter would evolve to many different types of combat craft including bombers, strike fighters, and other such craft which could be used for their dedicated mission. Over time fighters have been constantly improved with a variety of different improvements or upgrades.
