The CORE Spear Fast Attack Fighter

	The speed and ferocity of the ARM's Starwings and Shredders began to prove a problem for the CORE. The CORE's best science nets were unable to duplicate the ARM's shield technology, which has led to them believing it is based on some sort of alien technology. The CORE's spies in ARM fighter bases had assesed that the shield systems were definately expensive and time consuming. The CORE had also discovered that its mass driver technology was able to penetrate shields more easily than laser or energy weapons. CORE ordered a cheap, quick fighter armed with mass drivers to attack all of the ARM's fighters weaknesses. This, they hoped, would cause the ARM to rethink their fighter strategy, because it would decrease the effectiveness of their prized fighters.
	CORE's scientists delivered a fighter beyond Central Conscioussness's greatest hopes. Cheaper than most fighters, able to outfly and outmaneuver the Starwing, AND armed with a mass driver, the Spear is CORE's hope of driving straight to the ARM's heart.
