The Photikon Torpedo Bomber is the cornerstone of Avgi anti-ship carrier doctrine. While it is possible for a swarm of Vibratia and similar interdiction drones to engage capital ships, it is the Photikon that is capable of delivering the nuclear anti-ship munitions necessary to bring down the largest warships. By bringing a nuclear torpedo within close range, the payload has a higher chance of surviving enemy point defense weapons compared with standard missiles.
Photikons are also often used as gun platforms, mounting a Speckle Turret instead of their standard armament of two Ophrys Torpedoes.
Fighters do not come equipped with a hyperdrive. You cannot carry a fighter unless you have a ship in your fleet with a fighter bay.
