In-Game Description[]
Balanced Strikecraft.
Strong vs. Strikecraft, Utility and slower, single-target damage-based opponents.
Weak vs. Anti-Strikecraft, area of effect-based opponents and Turrets.
The Incarnate Dominance Fighter, nicknamed the "Serpent" by Hiigaran pilots due to its tendency to evade incoming fire while setting up for a countershot, is very much on par with the Hiigaran Azkar Strikecraft. The major difference being the Serpent seems to shunt more power to weapon systems as opposed to engines.

Analysis[]
A kind of hybrid between the Recon and the Interceptor, it has the hull strength, cost and sensor range of the former while also having the same active ability and even stronger weapons than the latter. Squads of them are fragile but hit quite hard for Strike Craft.
In Skirmishes they can be quite useful for harassing enemy resourcing operations.
In War Games they are expected to be the main way you find and collect Artifact Crates, but without a speed boost like the Recon's Overburn it will take you longer to do so. But they will also function very well against enemy Strike Craft and Corvettes.
