Wyvern-class (M-D)

The Wyvern is a lightweight fighter designed for the Nidhog MKI & MKII series Battle carriers.  Their narrow front profile and maximised thrust-to-mass ratio make them ideal at drawing fire while also avoiding damage.  They are also equipped with a pair of sniper missile launchers which made them effective at swarming and destroying other fighters and frigates before missiles stopped being effective at targeting smaller ships. 
While the Wyvern is only slightly more deadly than a Isanth, the Nidhog MKI could carry up to 96 of them at a time.  The latter MK II series was only designed to carry 48, with the other half of its fighter space re-allocated to holding the much Heavier Manticore-class Bombers and a Toothless-class scout ship.
