        Designed with the needs of planetary militias and mercinaries in
mind, the Tityus patrol fighter exceels in the atmoshpere, and performs on
par with it's compitition in the vacuume.  Using a single-seat bubble
cockpit that can be configured for almost any physiology, the Tityus can be
found in service in almost every secotr of the Empire.
        It's high atmospheric amnueverability it due, in no small part, to a
the variable geometry wings.  They can be canted forward to 15 degrees for
the centerline, and swept back just as far, under the control of the ship's
computer system.  The two laser turrets are located at they tips of these
wings, were they enjoy nearly 200 degrees of fire, where they can engage a
large nember of ground forces in a very short amount of time.  The Tityus
can also be fitted with pylons for carrying mission specific ordinance,
along with the nose mounted mini concussion missle launcher.  If you are on
the ground, you do not like to see a Tityus coming towards you.  Or away
from you for that matter.
