''Sentri''-class Interceptor

The Sentri-class Interceptor is the starfighter of choice employed by the Grand Fleet. It fulfills the roles of rapid strike and interdiction, fleet patrol and defense, ground attack and deep space defense.

Every military space station and planetary defense force is equipped with numerous squadrons of the Sentri.  Major worlds tend to have a large contingent of these capable craft. For example, the capital of Antara Prime has sixty full squadrons of Sentri, for a total of 720 craft. All Exarch cruisers carry a squadron of the vehicle.

The craft is flown by a Grand Fleet pilot with a minimum Class Two rating. They will hold the rank of senior sergeant. Each 12-craft squadron will be led by a lieutenant, who flies the lead Sentri.
