Like the Commonwealth's Cheetah, the Lancea’s main claim to fame ‘sits speed. Inareconnaigsanco rol, the wing lasers are replaced with haré points and mounted witha varialy of ordnance or surveillance equipment. With 11 Gs acceleration, ahigh-hrust Lancea 's the one of fastest ighters inthe galaxy. Like the Cheetah, the Lancea perfarms reconnaissance missions by being carried into.a solar system attached to an escort, making a high speed pass through the system, then rendezvousing with the escort again to be taken back to its base. ‘The Lancea’ low cost means that i can be formed into spacial ant-reconnaissance scuadrons whose mission isto stop ust such lactis. A stripped-down Lancea is perfect for this kind of mission: it can intercept a Chestah effectvaly and fre up to five missiles att. Such missions are infrequent, however, and some squadrons sitfer over a year before thay get a crack at @ Cheetah ‘TOGhas usedihisinactivtyinan imaginative way.
