A lightweight and versatile fighter and backbone of Boron Fighter command. This ship has not altered much since its appearance in the Boron Campaign when it was developed with the help of Argon arms technology. Over the years it has become sleeker, faster and more deadly. Its pilots are experienced but, as it is also the main Boron training craft, from time to time trainee pilots are given command.

In this ship you can see how much the Argons influenced the boron design of ships during their war with the Split. The Piranha is very similar to the Argon Buster, but doesn't make the same compromise with the engines. It is therefore, faster and more manouverable than the Buster but with less space for cargo.

I'd mention the superb positioning of its weapon systems often making it the vessel of choice for rookie combat pilots (who cant yet afford an M3).

Even though this ship was influenced by Argon advancement in technology, it is a step in front of the Argon M4 class. It has more powerfule engines and thrusters, and is therefore more maneuverable and able to outrun any missile fired upon it. Its Weapons system can support up to two Gamma PACs and Silkworm Class missiles making it a very versatile fighter in combat. It is preferred by pilots who want a compromise between speed and firepower, and is therefore an excellent choice for those eager to fight.
