Description
Although the brunt of the conflict was fought by large starships and destroyers, a greater, almost unknown part was fought by small, one man fighters.
Here are two examples: The Vay-Gas Cardshark and below it the Reen-Oh Hold-M.
Both of similar size, roughly 410 Cubits in length, that is where the similarity ends. Following design cues from the rest of the fleets, the Cardshark is sleek and highly polished, where as the Hold-M is typlified by the "do what works to get the business done" designs. While the Cardshark was highly manouverable and quicker , the Hold-M is vastly better armed (skinned entirely with single shot "Dealers") and more rugged.
Whenever these two adversaries met in a dogfight, the skies would light up like fireworks. Introduced at the beginning of the conflict, both fighters influenced designs for many years to come.

The one on the top reminds me of that huge drigible that went down years ago. The Hindenburg.

Two of a kind ?...not quite a running straight, but maybe there's another Ace up the Cardshark's gills for a Royal flush ? Interesting small craft designs, I'm sure those Reen-oh boffins must have started out at the Leggo factory ! Groovy and far-out Collin ! ~Cheers~

I see two. Yup, I'm a card counter. Frowned upon in both Vay-Gas and Reen-oh.
