The O2-X2 Phoenix is the premier fighter craft of the Octavian Navy. The Phoenix has a long and storied history, some good and some quite awful. The current model is the most advanced model of the Phoenix yet. The ship was designed primarily around the idea of overwhelming firepower; while the Quantar Typhoon technically has the same kind of gun mounts, the Phoenix can power any kind of combination of weapons it can mount and still fire all guns at full throttle, without problem. Thus, an accurate pilot in a Phoenix can cause far more damage than their Solrain or Quantar counterparts. It also possesses the heaviest (and most) missile mounts of any Heavy Fighter. The “Nix” is a maneuverable craft for its size; however, its single-engine design means that its acceleration is not quite at good as its contemporaries. (It does mean that the craft can afterburn longer than others, though, so the effect is mitigated somewhat.) The Nix can also take somewhat more damage to its armor before going down. It is, on the whole, an excellent backbone to the Octavian fleet. It works best, however, when supported by a Raven or Chiropteran to cover its flanks. An additional note about the ship: pilots will note that the Nix can mount a stronger power plant than the Centerfuge Mk.V. HOWEVER, the CentV was designed specifically with the Phoenix in mind, and the only weapon combination it cannot power is a plasma configuration. As plasma is not extremely useful in fighter-to-fighter combat, it is not covered here. To keep acceleration tolerable, do not use any other power plant on the Phoenix.
