Hangar - Hur'q Swarmer Fighters

Hur'q Swarmer Fighters are a type of Hangar Pet for characters of any faction.

They are obtained with the purchase of any Hur'q vessel:


 * Hur'q Nekcrid Assembly Multi-Mission Science Vessel
 * Hur'q Vedcrid Hive Dreadnought Carrier
 * Hur'q Vridyat Ravager Strike Wing Escort

They can be equipped on any vessel capable of launching hangar pets. Slotted hangar pets will add a launch ability: Launch Hur'q Swarmers.

Hangar overview
The Chidyat Swarmer is a small, fast moving fighter used by the Hur'q. These mining vessels turned attack craft lack of any sort of defensive shielding. They pursue their targets at high velocities, aiming to overwhelming their defenses with ruthless efficiency.

Standard-issue (rare) Hur'q Swarmer Fighters come pre-loaded as part of the standard equipment of the following vessels:


 * Hur'q Nekcrid Assembly Multi-Mission Science Vessel
 * Hur'q Vedcrid Hive Dreadnought Carrier
 * Hur'q Vridyat Ravager Strike Wing Escort

Short Range Mining Lasers
Hur'q Swarmer Fighters utilize Short Range Mining Lasers as their equivalent of a Directed Energy Weapon, dealing Phaser damage to its targets with rapid pulses. These Mining Lasers are not to be considered conventional beam arrays, and are not affected by traits that would affect hangar weaponry such as Superior Area Denial or Coordinated Assault.

Despite visual similarities to Hur'q Phasic Harmonic space weaponry, these fighters predate the release of that weapon type.

Evasive Burst
Hur'q Swarmer Fighters come equipped with a unique active ability named Evasive Burst. This is the same ability found on Jem'Hadar Vanguard Gunboats. Visually and perhaps mechanically, it appears identical to the player ability. It provides a brief increase to Flight Speed, Turn Rate, and Defense for the pet. For higher quality variants of this pet, the ability rank is greater, buffing the active bonuses. No player facing stats exist for this ability.

Playable version
No playable version of the Hur'q Swarmer Fighter currently exists in-game.
