The Termagant is a long endurance light fighter built by a consortium of the independent governments of Tirem. It can be operated by a single crewmember, but usually carries two on routine long duration patrol missions. This requires double occupancy of the accommodations, and results in a high sociability rating being advantageous for selection to Tirem's fighter service. With no requirement to provided an atmospheric combat capability, the designers elected to avoid streamlining in favor of ease of construction. Termagant flyers usually call their craft "Uglies". Use of this nickname by the non-Termagant community is not tolerated.
