There is not much available information concerning this craft other than it belongs to a superior fighter class and is a relative newcomer to the Split Space Fleet.

The Split Mamba is fast, very fast without a doubt, which makes it one of the best M3 class ships around. It does not matter that the Mamba with 25MW has only half as much of shield strength as all other M3 class ships.
But the Split Mamba has also a distinctive disadvantage. These are the far apart placed laser bays which make an exact  targeting very difficult and most of the laser fire is wasted, since an opponent by skillful maneuver easily can steer between the salvos.

The largest of the Split ships, and one of the fastest. Defence and arms appear to have been sacrificed for speed, and couple with an apparent design flaw in the control thrusters, has lead to a high number of accidents.

I'd say that in the hands of a capable and experienced pilot the Mamba is arguably the deadliest combat ship out there, despite its crappy weapons systems.

Excellent speed good cargo space, however only one shield generator, a nasty strutty cockpit, and only able to fire light missiles, hornets are out. Also the cannon grouping is crap unless you close to point blank range with the target. However they make the best auto piloted wingmen.
