Description

The Aries is Nilen conrece's main attack fighter. It is highly manueverable in and out of atmospheres, and was originally designed as an answer to Utopia's TigerShark fighter, which emerged some ten years earlier. There has been an arms race between Utopia and Nilen, and tensions are mounting. The emergence of this highly efficient combat machine did not do much to improve relations.
