Lancer

The Lancer, also known as an Anther is a light fighter jet, effective in large numbers against air units.
== Armaments ==
The Lancer uses gravity control beams to force up to two units into the air, although using this beam cancels simultaneous weapons usage. this is why Lancers never patrol alone.

== Combat role ==
A deadly craft designed for aerial harassment, the Lancer is highly maneuverable, possesses great speed, and is able to outmaneuver almost any foe. The Lancer is rapidly replacing the older jets in the role of air superiority fighters. Lancer patrols are a common sight in the Dalmer territory, where they sweep for threats. A single Lancer strike force can keep an enemy army pinned down even when vastly outnumbered. Lancers can be carried in carrier hangers.
The Lancer is highly suited for air-to-air combat, especially against foes lacking armor. These cannons are designed to allow the Lancer to fire while on the move, but their short wavelength limits the travel distance of each shot, as well as the damage caused to heavily armored targets.
Sophisticated and lethal as the Lancer may be, all too often a patrol squadron will find itself heavily outnumbered by enemies. To overcome this weakness, Lancer pilots can unleash a short-lived storm of destruction by overloading its warp field through the ship's ion blasters. The area-effect discharge is devastating and can destroy a large number of enemies at once, but it comes at a price: in the aftermath the Lancer is left temporarily powerless and crippled. Wary foes have learned to flee a Lancer overload and return moments later to destroy the helpless craft. In turn Lancer pilots have begun to use staggered discharges to catch their enemies in a web of destruction. These desperate tactics are frowned upon by commanders, but have become tacitly accepted as a necessity.
