The Nakai fighter is an oval-shaped craft roughly 60 ft long by 30 ft wide. It is launched from a Nakai mothership, which can carry at least a dozen. It has a pair of energy cannons mounted on the front of the vessel near the nose. Their effectiveness is unclear: several working in concert were able to drain Destiny's shields somewhat quickly (though the shields were also being weakened by Destiny's weapons returning fire), but a single hit on the Ancient shuttle had little to no effect. It possesses shielding, which is rare for a vessel of its size, but its strength is negligible in comparison to the output of Destiny's anti-fighter turrets and the weapons on the shuttle. It can survive detaching from Destiny while it is in FTL, but cannot withstand the sudden jump to FTL unless attached
