Hangar overview
Son'a Assault fighters are nimble small craft, designed for both space and atmospheric assault. They were used in an attempt to harass the Ba'ku off their planet in the Briar Patch during the late-24th century. While these fighters make use of Isolytic Plasma weaponry, their energy yield is too low to spawn isolytic tears like their normal space weapon counterparts.

One wing of standard-issue (rare) Son'a Assault Fighters come pre-loaded as part of the Son'a Collector Science Dreadnought's standard equipment.

Son'a Energy Siphon
Son'a Assault Fighters utilize a unique active ability named Son'a Energy Siphon. These fighters are specially equipped to drain subsystem energy from a targeted foe, in a manner similar to a limited version of. When used, the swirling Son'a Energy Siphon periodically drains a small amount of Energy from their target, affecting a random Subsystem. For higher quality variants of this pet, the ability rank is greater, buffing the active bonuses. No player facing stats exist for this ability.

Thermolytic Absorption
Son'a Assault Fighters utilize a unique active ability named Thermolytic Absorption. This ability, when used, appears to be a pinkish burst of Radiation cast on an enemy target which, after a few moments, is returned to the fighter with an emanating blue hue. Thermolytic Absorption causes Radiation damage to foes within 5 kilometers of a fighter. If the Son'a fighters manage to damage one or more foe with the ability, they will passively leech Hull from their targets, returning it to themselves as a Heal-over-Time. For higher quality variants of this pet, the ability rank is greater, buffing the active bonuses. No player facing stats exist for this ability.
