Scimitar - medium fighter
The Scimitar class medium fighter was popular among pilots who loved thick armor, but unpopular among those who liked quick maneuvering. Slow speed and turning made it an easier target than other Confed fighters, but also harder to destroy with it's 5-6 cm of durasteel armor, giving the Scimitar pilot the time to swing around and destroy his attacker with his Mass Driver cannons.
