ARC - PX1 Viper
A militarised version of the ARC-XF2 Sparrowhawk, modifications include a lower profile hull, hard-points and significantly overpowered engines. The Viper designed as an armed transport for airborne Calvary units. It remained a difficult aircraft to fly and range limitations stopped it from being widely adopted.
