Fast and deadly, the Vigilance was equipped with a powerful array of missiles able to home in on and destroy enemy starfighters. Originally intended to be fitted with a cloaking device, a miscalculation in the design phase meant it was physically impossible to install the generator acquired for the purpose. Instead the spare internal space was used to install a more powerful sublight engine which provided the Vigilance with incredible speed and, like the planned cloak, made it almost impossible to trap.
