==Description==
Nicknamed the "Banshee" and "A-Wing", the Spearhead is a fast, agile interceptor built to screen friendly forces from enemy fighters. Its aerodynamic design makes it capable of air superiority in atmosphere as well. The arrowhead-shaped protrusions extending forward also serves as Diffuse Radiator Arrays to make sure that if a Spearhead is knocked out of the fight it won't be from overheating. It's when the DRA's start to glow from heat buildup that contributes to the nickname "Banshee".
As only a situational tool two missiles/torpedoes can be slung in expendable, temporary mounts on either side of the cockpit. But they are not fixed weapons as the added mass reduces the Spearhead's performance.
