-The space-only //Pandion-class// is a recent addition to Fleet Division's inventory.  Viewed from the front, it is vaguely cross-shaped, with the cockpit, engines, and maneuvering thrusters at the center, missile launchers at opposite ends of the vertical arms, and gun turrets at opposite ends of the horizontal arms.  It is capable of supporting two crew members, and has a cruising range of approximately three days.  The //Pandion//'s cockpit is a vertically-oriented, two-deck arrangement, with the vehicle commander and pilot each having a standing-style acceleration couches and redundant controls behind an armorglas cockpit canopy protected by a jettisonable blast shield.  The primary hull is heavily armored, for a fighter, and is capable of surviving a missile strike (although the weapons systems and sensors may be destroyed in the process).+The space-only //Pandion-class// is a recent addition to Fleet Division's inventory.  Viewed from the front, it is vaguely cross-shaped, with the cockpit, engines, and maneuvering thrusters at the center, missile launchers at opposite ends of the vertical arms, and gun turrets at opposite ends of the horizontal arms.  It is capable of supporting two crew members, and has a cruising range of approximately three days.  The //Pandion//'s cockpit is a vertically-oriented, two-deck arrangement, with the vehicle commander and pilot each having a standing-style acceleration couch and redundant controls behind an armorglas cockpit canopy protected by a jettisonable blast shield.  The primary hull is heavily armored, for a fighter, and is capable of surviving a missile strike (although the weapons systems and sensors may be destroyed in the process).
